LD49 — Unstable

Railrider by Blobby101 2021-10-18T12:47:21Z

Such a nice game with simple mechanics and a dope *ss soundtrack, i love it! Only thing i must point out are the graphics, which are pretty awkard;

Keep up the good work!

Perhaps a Friend? by Local Minimum 2021-10-07T15:54:29Z

Nice game with a fun core mechanic, fits the theme perfectly, i know everyone pointed that out but it lacks some SFXs

A good job overall, Keep it up!

A Glorious Rule by gamesplusjames 2021-10-05T15:12:38Z

A great game, nothing bad to say about it

Beep Boop Boba by candlesan 2021-10-04T15:26:37Z

Really fun and challenging game, mechanics are clean and fit very well together It's probably just an opinion but i think the music isn't that good

Karawan by Rongo Matane 2021-10-17T19:08:30Z

Honestly this is the best LD49 game i've played so far

- Mechanics are simple and incredibly fun to play with - Graphics are gorgeous - Audio is a bit buggy on the web version but awesome - The game fits the theme perfectly

Maybe some more UI feedback wouldn't hurt and the auto harvest makes everything too easy too soon but it's still an awesome game, Good job!

Keep it up!

SCANLINE by pdotjpg 2021-10-05T19:21:24Z

A really fun puzzle game, may be personal but i'm not really a fan of the character design.

Good job overall.

Marvin's Day Job: Potion Seller by Devez 2021-10-17T22:17:56Z

potion seller, i'm going into battle and i want only your strongest potions

Potion Trouble by Yorsh 2021-10-07T16:14:52Z

A really nice game overall. Usually this type of games feel very static and boring but you managed to make it interesting with the enemies, the timer and the ingredients characteristics ( i managed to write that first try wow ).

Good job! Keep it up!

Unstable mage by Trizalio 2021-10-18T21:04:16Z

***A really nice game with fun mechanics and fittings SFXs***

The only issue is the **lack of unicity** in the monsters: _with the only exception being the vampire_, the monsters type or race don't really matter at all, they're pretty much the same; the vampire instead makes you think twice, his """"""passive"""""" makes him unique

Maybe some post-jam updates with **skill trees**, different **maps** which change the grid and add permanent objects ( for example an hell map with volcanos that erupt and burn near enemies ) and some sort of **campaign gamemode** to make the game much longer

The game is really good and ,with some polishing and a huge update, could become a great commercial game

Keep the good work up!

Weasel Words by eldogg 2021-10-05T19:42:08Z

This is the most cursed game i've ever seen but good job

RotaCore by Reispfannenfresser 2021-10-04T17:46:39Z

Really fun game overall but i felt disappointed: i heard that fire soundtrack and expected some dope sfx; instead nothing :( even sounds made with sfxr could make this 100 times better The idea is there and the game is fun. Keep it up.

Goth milk? by MetalFox Dioxymore 2021-10-05T17:33:05Z

Fun game but would probably be better with more enemies and weapons

Nice style and sound design

Keep it up!

//ex.it by thevinter 2021-10-17T20:43:14Z

A really nice game, the movements are smooth and feel good to play with, the design of the map is optimal and the SFXs are ok ( the jump sound feels a bit out of touch from the game ), Good job overall!

Keep it up!

Breakoban by OgelGames 2021-10-06T09:33:02Z

A fun little game with interesting puzzles, i like it!

Unstable Cubes by Lenan 2021-10-07T18:54:50Z

A really nice fun game with a challenging mechanic that fits the game very well. Level design and SFXs is optimal; the only thing i can point out is that the shadow mechanics are pretty awkard

10 minutes to instability by José Bonilla 2021-10-07T19:09:18Z

A really mind-engaging game with fitting mechanics; maybe you could have used the enviroment a bit more than just for the piece of paper ( maybe some keys on a shelf or smt )

A really good job, Keep it up!

Unstable Concoction by itsatony 2021-10-07T18:43:56Z

The potion-throw mechanic was fun, SFXs are decent and graphics are fitting ( maybe the title screen is a bit static but that's not that big of an issue ) It's kinda weird how the potion accelerates when you try to drag it but you can get the hang of it.

Good job, Keep it up!

Drunken Master by Cedric86 2021-10-05T19:26:20Z

Not a really challenging game but a nice one overall

Eruption by Jadeskon 2021-10-05T17:28:25Z

A very cool game with no big issues apart from the graphic ones: Having always a square that rises perfectly perpendicular as a shape for all the particles effect is kinda odd, the game feels a bit static ( maybe some grass swaying with the tress would be cool ) and the clouds on the ground are awkard

Apart from the graphic the game is really good and fun to play with

Super Mutant Horse by cannashblue 2021-10-05T17:20:32Z

A really fun game with interesting mechanics, nice graphics, great SFXs and a fitting music The only thing that i must point out is the capsule launching mechanic which is pretty hard to aim with

Overall an incredibly good game

i am a writer by mmisspelling 2021-10-17T17:46:16Z

A really good game with some flaws that take the goodness away, sadly :/

For fast writers, the writing sound doesn't overlap but instead suddendly stops and starts again, which is pretty ear-shattering ( lowering the volume to 0 and renounce the music would have killed the mood of the game )

If you notice an error at the start of the phrase you have to click multiple times backspace instead of keeping the button pressed and having the whole phrase deleted, it gets to personal preference but it was frustrating to me

Lastly, the game ( apart from the writing ) is terribly static and can sometimes catch your attention ( it's not that immersive )

Overall a really good game that, with improvements, could become a masterpiece, Good job! Keep it up!

MISHIT by Holy_Doggo01 2021-10-04T17:32:55Z

The game is good but there are some improvements that could be made; here are the things that i noticed the most:

-The game graphic would be bad but the post processing make it nice. Good job! -Some options would be great, you could change volume, graphics, resolution and most importantly mouse sens: i think that's pretty important in a shooter game -If you jump into inclined objects you get stuck instead of falling down

I think something like a timer or some other system of reward/progression would be great: right now you have braindead enemies that you can kill by braindeadly spamming your mouse. Maybe a timer would push you to perfectly match the red bar to get momentum? With some updates this can become a great game. Keep it up

p.s. sorry if the comment got compressed and is hard to read

Hack N' Shoot by Jake Summer 2021-10-05T19:45:56Z

A nice lil experience overall

Reac'this by DevUndead 2021-10-05T14:45:26Z

A really fun game, i love the mood it gives and the mind engaging puzzles. The music is cool

Don't ask me how i found that bug but if you go in a locker and spam the interact button you will pass the rest of your life in there

Ouch! by Gabriel Chan 2021-10-06T17:19:31Z

Nice game overall, nice to see and fun to play

Zombie Night by plsdnt 2021-10-17T21:50:32Z

I saw your comment under @meansquarederror video and decided to give your game a shot

This game has a terrible ton of potential but is pretty blank right now ( can't blame you, you have just a few days to make it ), here's some improvements that could be made:

- **More diversity in weapons:** The game was getting pretty awkard but then i saw a different type of gun, had my burst of serotonin with it and then realized those were the only 2 guns, which made me pretty sad :(. - **More details:** I like the simple graphics but they were also pretty blank; maybe just some grass, some shadows or more noticeable particles could make the trick and make the game much better. - **More enemies:** Maybe some variations of the zombie: fast ones, big strong slow ones, ranged ones ecc. - **gg ez:** Maybe there should be some way to get HP back to your house; right now once you lose a point it's gone forever.

Noticed how i used the word **More** so much? that's what i mean by _" the game is blank "_

Leaving the work that you could do, here are some things that i liked :)

- Screen shake was optimal and fitted perfectly. - SFXs are great. - The AI is less braindead than i thought it would be.

I **highly** suggest you work on this game even **after the game jam** _(if you have the motivation obviously)_, this can become a masterpiece

***Keep the good work up!***

velho by jnur 2021-10-05T14:52:02Z

A fun short game with nice fitting graphics and sfx, with some improvements that could be made: took some time to even realize there was a bar with icons on the bottom left, the flat colors without some 2D lights was quite bad to see and with the dash spell you can clip through walls

Overall a nice game

huhh.PNG

Unstabled by mrks 2021-10-20T19:58:18Z

***A short but overall nice game***

The game was really short, the controls felt smooth but **it lacked some things that should absolutely be there**

Here are some: - **UI:** There's not enough visual feedback and _some UI would help a lot_ - **Graphics:** The style is nice to see but _it blends everything_ in an awkard manner, making the playthrough difficult; some more _saturated props_ would really help - **Polishing:** This game would become 10 times better with just some _polishing_

Some **graphics updates**, **post processing** and **UI** and the game would much better, but i'm sure you worked hard on it anyways so _Good Job!_

Keep it up!

Ecotopia by zookatron 2021-10-04T17:37:08Z

There isn't much of a challenge, they just kinda do their own thing

Bombing the sheeps is super fun btw

Sound design and art style is lovely

.Script by Jega Studio 2021-10-05T19:48:55Z

really coollll game, i love the artstyle

Pogo Man by sawdust 2021-10-04T15:10:12Z

A really fun game overall

The concept is nice, the level design is optimal Although the background is pretty blank and the jumping mechanic pretty easy to bug, the game remains great.

Good job!

Ball of Chaos by OmegaFalcon 2021-10-18T13:00:55Z

A really fun little game with interesting mechanics, fitting audio and nice level design.

It can be a little frustrating at times but it's okay.

Keep the good work up!

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-04T15:35:47Z

Thank you @alan001 @thatanonoword @0darkandnerdy for the feedbacks! I'm looking forward to improving the game after the jam, all the comments will be taken in consideration

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-04T15:48:15Z

@diccuric-sigeon That's a pretty high score ngl, i can't get myself past 110

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-05T16:40:33Z

Thank you @orangutanrider @chainsawmcd @totteriludum @ericfreeman @mejzlosh @the-neon-shark for the feedback!

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-06T08:52:15Z

@pdotjpg Thank you for the feedback!

@proxy-games Yeah i noticed that bug i don't know if i can update the game i made for the jam so i'm just gonna fix that bug in the updated version you can find in the other link; Thanks for playing the game!

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-07T15:35:29Z

@meansquarederror Thank you very much for playing the game! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-07T18:29:10Z

@bruno-molteni @thewustache Thank you for the feedback! I actually already fixed the spamming problem, it's in an update coming soon ( not out yet ) on the other link you can find above the original one.

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-08T11:07:29Z

@afells Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it

@cannashblue Thanks for playing my game! I will definitely make it a mobile game once i finish adding the gamemodes

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-09T21:31:29Z

@jaybaus Thank you for playing the game! I'm glad you enjoyed it

Congratulations on your highscore!

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-15T15:31:36Z

@nikiroz Thank you for playing the game! I tried to prevent the "iPlaceEverythingInTheCenterStrategy" by adding random sized shapes but that didn't really seem to work :/

In the updated version ( which you can find in the link above btw ) there will be difficulties, gamemodes and core mechanics changes, such as the much requested placing timer and the "placing zone", to make the game a bit more challenging and much longer

For all the beta players out there i'll add the options to disable the features that may make the game too hard

Equilibrium by zSharpFire 2021-10-19T22:09:53Z

Thank you @taboo-chris @zeilanda @ideaspersecond for playing the game!

The Door of Illusions by 2CCs 2021-10-06T09:24:08Z

This gives me "This is the only level" kind of vibes, i like it! Fitting graphics and sound design, good job!

Keep it up!

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

The Longest Commute by infinitycore 2022-04-08T21:15:53Z

The controls are a bit awkward, but after you get used to it, it becomes pretty fun! Nice graphics and SFXs

Good job!

Try Again by Flaterectomy 2022-04-10T12:15:17Z

A really cool game, liked the story and the music. Good job!

Need for Sleep by dodormeur 2022-04-06T21:50:32Z

A really great entry! probably would have been better with some Audio and SFXs, but otherwise this is an awesome game with an engaging, well accomplished mechanic!

Those Darn Zombies! by freso 2022-04-04T19:42:58Z

Fun little game with nice graphics and responsive controls but maybe the inevitable is a bit too much inevitable

Catronaut by fatPenguin 2022-04-05T14:16:33Z

A really cool little game with awesome graphics and audio, everything fit together really well

At first i was having a little bit of trouble but i shortly realized that i could just go past through all of the level design and just fly everywhere i need by smashing my mouse without having to get the oxygen back as spam jumping consumes only a little

I can't really say if the game was too easy or too hard; at first it was hard but once i figured how the mechanics work i just went through every level in a matter of seconds without sweating that much

Catronaut by fatPenguin 2022-04-05T14:35:15Z

@angiemon I tried that, the game became a bit too hard as the jumping mechanic can be a bit awkard at times, but even by playing like that i basically never worried about the oxygen; maybe it should run out faster or get consumed more by the jumps

Friendly Corp by kamikaziuk 2022-04-04T18:45:01Z

Nice little game, i like the doom-like pov

My happy weedy farm by Marin0104 2022-04-05T14:51:02Z

I think right now the game as it is is incredibly cool, with awesome graphics, SFXs and Keybinds placements

I would love to see a bigger version of this game, with more things to do ( and possibly different keybinds for planting/watering ), kinda like a 16-bit top down version of Hay Day; It would probably be one of these games that i spend days just because they're incredibly pleasing to the mind and the eyes

Orbles by Rongo Matane 2022-04-08T20:53:45Z

An incredibly good and polished game, with fun mechanics and an amazing gameplay loop. Impressive how you guys managed to finish this in such a short time.

One of the best entries i've seen so far

EMBEJEAL by neowhoru 2022-04-04T18:30:41Z

The game itself is lovely and pretty fun but the climbing and jumping mechanics are driving me insane

Tyranny Defense Simulator 2984 by WFMG 2022-04-04T19:48:57Z

A really cool little game, fits the theme perfectly, had a couple laughs thank you

DeadFlame by Conroy 2022-04-08T15:02:07Z

The game itself is pretty good, the graphics are really nice and it looks like a finished game, but aiming is a bit awkward and I think killing zombies should be a bit more satysfying; right now they're more of a pain in the *** than an enemy.

Otherwise, a nice entry. Good job!

Desktop by eyedromeda 2022-04-04T20:01:11Z

I loved this game, it gave me "Emily is away" vibes, which i really like; the little games are a great touch to entertain you while you wait for the messages without breaking the game pacing

SFXs and graphics are awesome and it's a really polished game considering the time costraints

Good job!

Walterfall by Ulisses 2022-04-10T12:29:07Z

A great game with a nice gameplay loop and really repetitive SFXs. After a while i realized that the best way to survive was by just smashing my mouse and keeping my ground in the top left corner. I managed to get a score of 18974 this way and dropped only because my hand was dying.

Other than that, a really good entry! Good job!

Meltdown by DesertMaw 2022-04-08T21:10:51Z

A really good entry with great graphics and nice SFXs, with a well made game loop; just one thing: if you spam left click with the extinguisher the audio glitches out.

I played it for a while but couldn't really get past 75430 citizens

Delayarrhea by BearDing8 2022-04-10T13:54:35Z

Great game with clean mechanics and a fun gameplay loop! Also amazing level design. Good Job!

Volcano by ABRDs 2022-04-05T16:30:16Z

Really cute little game with nice graphics and music, probably would have had a better game play loop if it had a score or something.

One little bug i found: sometimes the objects you pick just go under the terrain and straight into the volcano, which is very handy but a bit weird

The Endless Junkyard by Snotax 2022-04-10T13:20:29Z

A really good entry! the mechanics are great and the gameplay loop is awesome. It's a bit awkward how after some time ships literally never stop coming and it becomes humanly impossible to clear the trash: maybe the inevitable should be a lit less inevitable. Other than that, a great game!

Unapocalyptic by Daniikk1012 2022-04-04T18:26:15Z

I think the game itself it's pretty fun but would probably be 1000000 times better with some **particles**, to make the shooting, smashing and zombie deaths **more satisfying**

Road Rage Mage by Pious 2022-04-10T13:11:15Z

The graphics and the SFXs are incredibly good, the gameplay loop is fun and addicting!

Only thing to note: once the enemy gets far behind, it starts to shield everytime he can: this leads to him falling a lot behind and in a guaranteed win ( once he does, he can't nitro boost and i can just combust him to death )

Gods of Divine Stuff: RAgnarök by Anaxie Studio 2022-04-05T15:15:51Z

A really cool game with a really fun gameplay ( i just love tower defense game, i grew up with BTD ) but with an awkard bug: 2 levels after the greek map ( i don't remember which was it exactly, haven't counted them) i started getting only 1 point at the start of every level, making it impossible to place any "turrets"; i tried going back to the main menu, back into the campaign mode and now even the first levels just gave me 1 point, making me unable to even place the first god.

Apart from that i really liked the game

Mortal Compass by JakubBala 2022-04-11T17:55:02Z

The art style was amazing, SFXs were great and the gameplay loop is fine, although i think the compass mechanic feels a bit awkward to play with

Overall a great experience. Good Job!

White Death by Roboolet 2022-04-04T12:54:58Z

At first, i thought this was a game about Simo Häyhä, but i wasn't that much disappointed afterall The graphics and SFXs are lovely and the game feels responsive. It fits the theme but there's not a lot to do here, maybe some other interactions would have been cool

Pixel-Panic by IdeasPerSecond 2022-04-06T13:24:17Z

I love the simple graphics and amazing music, a simple concept accomplished well

Knighthood by SMdG 2022-04-10T09:45:19Z

A fine entry with some easy to fix problems that could make the game 100% better

Graphics :art:

I think the art style is **lovely** and the color palette pretty **clear**, but i think the room would be infinitely better with some lightning: right now everything has an **unlit material**, which means it doesn't react to light; in fact, it doesn't even need light cause you can see everything clearly. Some **torches attached** to the wall could add some **shadows** and diversity in the scene, making it look a bit more "professional"

I also think the game needs more visual feedback for what's happening on the screen, so more particles, screen shake and maybe even animations. I didn't even realize curses could damaged you until the very end for the lack of SFXs and/or particles.

Sound :speaker:

SFXs are fine, they fit the game pretty well but i think the music becomes really repetitive in the long run.

Gameplay :joystick:

The gameplay loop is great but there are some strategies that make the game infinite and easy to beat; i managed to get 450 points by just standing near a corner and spamming melee attacks; eventually, if my HP got low, i just ran around and collected the orbs on the ground.

**** Some work could be done, but overall a nice entry

speedy student by baily 2022-04-04T13:57:44Z

@daniel-foutz well this is awkard, i was just browsing around and i saw you, i think this is the first time i see someone with the same exact profile picture as mine

the pond by Misfire_dev 2022-04-10T12:09:36Z

A really fun game with interesting mechanics and a great gameplay loop! SFXs are great the the ambience is too

Noticed 2 weird things tho: - If you're aiming the jump and accidentally move your cursor outside of the game's window you jump instantly - If in the second phase you catch a fly and die, the fly just gets yeeted away

Overall an amazing game. Good job!

Choboro by DaivyIsHere 2022-04-10T11:55:48Z

A really polished game with fun mechanics, great SFXs and nice graphics. Good job!

Hot point by Debone 2022-04-10T11:52:20Z

The heat mechanic is really fun to play with and the controls feel responsive! Would probably be better if it had some SFXs.

Overall a great entry!

@arfilish Thank you for you feedback!

Timebound by zSharpFire 2022-04-05T15:17:22Z

@goat Thank you for your feedback! I wanted to write that in the tutorial but I simply forgot, i realized that only after the deadline

I can't really make a direct update so i just wrote it on the game's page

Timebound by zSharpFire 2022-04-05T15:24:56Z

@teddyreid Thank you for your feedback! Yeah i'm really bad at teaching the player how to do things, i should absolutely look out for that trap the next LD.

The weapon thing was intended, i tried to give the player some really easy to use weapons ( such as the assault rifle and the machine gun ) and some harder ones with a low firing rate, requiring you to think really quickly at where to shot; but yeah, maybe the difference in difficulty is a bit extreme, definetly going to fix that in the **Post jam update** that i'm absolutely going to release!

Timebound by zSharpFire 2022-04-05T15:35:23Z

@anaxie-studio Thank you for your feedback!

Timebound by zSharpFire 2022-04-05T18:23:15Z

@bottled-up-dark-peace Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately I had things to do that ate my time, and the game shows: It's clearly unpolished and would be 100 times better if everything ( tutorial included ) was more clear and easy to understand.

I honestly didn't think about changing the bullet models/colors/trails or something to distinguish the enemies and weapons, that would have been a great idea, i'm probably going to add it in the updated post jam version, which is coming soon.

Yeah i figured out the spawn kill, fix's coming in the updated version

@locke8 Thank you for your feedback!

@smdg Thank you for your feedback! I'm going to make sure to tone it down a little!

@debone Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, as @eyedromeda mentioned doors should close once you enter a new room. Fixing it soon!

@eyedromeda Thank you for your feedback! I think by HP you mean the timer; I wanted to let the player keep the weapon, but I had some troubles with the [PlayerPref](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html) class and couldn't figure out a way to fix the bugs before the deadline. I managed to fix it now so, in the new patch ( more updates about that on the post i'm going to make soon ), you're going to be able to keep the weapon!

>The enemy bullets are really hard to spot. They’re the same color as the player’s bullets and the hit effects that fly everywhere. The amount of screen shake also makes them hard to spot.

Yeah I've read a lot of things like that, the game is very unclear and needs polishing.

@misfire-dev Thank you for your feedback!

Timebound by zSharpFire 2022-04-10T12:59:19Z

Patch 1.1

As I mentioned a lot of times in my comments, a **new patch** is coming out, and is scheduled for release **this week**!

Here's a quick list of all the things that are going to change - **Clearance**: A lot of you said the game isn't clear enough: in this patch, **screen shake** will be toned down a lot and the **enemies will get distinct features** that make them distinguishable ( I wrote that first try wow ) - **Lootboxes**: The lootbox system will get a big **overhaul**, that will divide them in 2 distinct collectables: **Lucky boxes** and **Coins**! The first ones will either give you a random weapon or a random buff, such as **bonus** speed, health, time and more! Coins will instead just pump your score up and give you a little extra time! - **Rooms**: Right now you can just kind of run to the sides, become immortal and achieve inhuman scores: now the rooms will **lock** until all enemies in the area are **defeated** - **Tutorial**: This time i will put the player through a series of easy challenges to teach them the basic of the game: no more walls of text that you must read, I promise! - **Gameplay**: right now, the gameplay consists in an infinite loop of killing braindead red triangles in the same square room; Enemy stats are going to get tweaked a little, room generation system will get a small rework and ( either in this patch or in another one ) **Bosses** will get added! I'm thinking of a **bullet hell** type of bossfight, so look out for that!

Changes are coming in quickly, so if you would like a balance change or a new gameplay feature/mechanic be sure to write it somewhere!

Until next time

@flaterectomy Thank you for your feedback! If these are the problems you found, you'll be happy to hear that all of them are getting fixed in the update! I had a bug with the camera and i had to zoom it in, but in the new patch it's fixed!

I fixed everything expect the music, i'm incredibly bad at making music and i still have to learn.

Timebound by zSharpFire 2022-04-11T17:38:28Z

@aka-black-dog Thank you for your feedback!

@gullyngames Thank you for your feedback! I also got that feedback a lot, i'm going to add a pitch randomizer to make the sound less repetitive

@sammot Thank you for your feedback! Idk if some weird bug happened to your game but when i play, the hp bar always works fine; Remember that the big white bar is not the hp bar, it's only a timer!

Timebound by zSharpFire 2022-04-12T13:40:06Z

@boaromayox Thank you for your feedback!

Streets of the Dead by Neon Orbis 2022-04-11T17:49:59Z

A really fun game that keeps you glued to the screen for quite a lot of time! Good Job!

Small bug i found: after 17 turns i just couldn't act at all and was forced to restart.

Nightwaker by Bottled up Dark Peace 2022-04-05T14:38:41Z

A really cool moody game, fun mechanics and incredibly good art, nothing bad to say

Void Prison by Tadas Migauskas 2022-04-05T15:58:45Z

Incredibly good game! The killing was really satysfying, the art was gorgeous and the SFXs well made! It has a lot of replay value that makes it even better as a whole!

The only thing i must point out was the rolling: i was a bit disappointed when i noticed there were no particles for the rolling, i was really looking forward to it lol

HungryBot by Aka Black Dog 2022-04-10T13:47:01Z

A fun game with nice mechanics and a great gameplay loop

SFXs were amazing. Good Job!

Delay Inevitable Death by nafos_games 2022-04-10T12:34:35Z

The hitboxes and the camera placement is pretty awkward but overall a nice game. Good job!

Gun Survivors by Huzza 2022-04-04T12:47:07Z

A really cool game, had fun while playing it but it had some problems - **Laggy**: for obvious reasons the game becomes really laggy really fast - **Strategy**: the increasing number of enemies to increase the difficulty is cool, but it has some weird interactions with the rail gun: i've come to the conclusion that the best way to play until your game crashes is to get as many railguns ( and eventually, bazookas ) as humanly possible; once the waves become enormous, those 2 weapons will eventually pierce through every single one of them, giving you a lot of xp(?) orbs which will make you basically immortal ( you gain 100% hp when you lvl up ) - **Map** the game is cool and all but it probably would have been cooler if it had some premade maps with some props you can play around; right now the only strategy is the one i wrote before. Maybe with some premade maps you could play around entrances or walls or something.

Now, the things i liked :) - The game is really **addicting** - Levelling up is **satisfying** - The art style is **simple**

Last thing i must note: the audio is weird; i mean, it sounds good, but if you have a lot of orbs around you and go to the main menu the sounds get played in the menu; also, for some reason after 2 or 3 "plays" the audio suddendly disappears

LD52 — Harvest

Soul Property: Who's Life is it Anyway? by Budaniel 2023-01-10T21:58:10Z

The game is fun, the graphics themselves are ok but would probably benefit a lot from having something in the background behind the city other than the eternal void. The voice lines of the reaper which he says sometimes when killing someone are perfect

Space Garden by Yamzho 2023-01-10T22:23:37Z

Incredible game, had a ton of fun playing it

The visuals are great, the gameplay loop is engaging, interesting and fun and the music is nice. Overall an amazing game

Haunted Harvest 3 by smilewood 2023-01-09T22:49:53Z

Even though the art style is amazing and the change of soundtrack when the scarecrow gets near is perfect, i must admit that the controls are a bit confusing and the scarecrow is more frustrating than scary

Martian Mind Hunter by tukisboolukis 2023-01-10T22:06:44Z

Fun little game, the sounds are a bit clunky but overall nice, would have loved to be able to group soldiers and select them by group like in stronghold

GRIM REAPER: Harvester of Souls by dkdwrek 2023-01-09T23:02:53Z

Amazing game with a ton of replay value, fantastic soundtrack and fun mechanics. The leaderboard sure does push you into pressing that "retry" button, which is a thing a lot of games lack.

I must admit tho, maybe the wall of text at the start of the game isn't really the best thing.

Potato Farming Simulator by kuggenhoffen 2023-01-11T15:28:07Z

fun little game but i think losing everything you bought every season is disappointing since potatoes take so long to grow

Puppet show! by mitus 2023-01-10T21:44:17Z

I kinda laughed when i heard the TTS voice, but afterall it is a nice addition. The graphics and the sounds are nice, the game overall is fun. It's a bit underwhelming how ultimately, in the bird scene, the easiest way to scare them away is leaving both torches at the bottom, same position, and just walk around

Agent 001 by Maytch 2023-01-09T23:17:48Z

Nice game, finally something a little different from the other games.

Apart from the ear-shattering sound of the harvest thing, i think the game is fun and well done

Cube Digger by Quentin Wittevrongel 2023-01-11T15:35:56Z

idk why i can't rate the game but i think that the visuals are nice and the soundtrack great, although i must admit that the game felt more like a tutorial

Junkship by YogurtTheHorse 2023-01-10T21:34:21Z

Fun little game, the graphics are great and the sounds nice. Apart from the eye-annihilating chromatic aberration this is overall a nice game.

Far VVest by Pikario 2023-01-11T19:36:18Z

Aimlab is for bi***es, real OGs use this game instead.

This game is amazing, hilarious and fun to play. Nothing bad to say about this.

Jam Farm by MetRiko 2023-01-11T14:55:39Z

Fun little game, the gameplay loop is engaging and the graphics are lovely, maybe the scene switching is a bit clunky

CROP NINJA by Bo Dangles 2023-01-11T19:13:13Z

Incredibly fun and engaging concept, the mechanics are awesome and the gameplay feels smooth and good to speedrun. The only thing i can complain about is the rasterized font, which is hard to read

The day before the harvest by froissant 2023-01-11T19:26:08Z

Really nice little game, the atmosphere is fantastic and the gameplay nice. The only thing i can complain about is the z-fighting between the player and some sprites. Overall a great game

Harvest Haven by zSharpFire 2023-01-10T20:30:32Z

@lucas-guichard @hfsevans @goldenxd @maytch @nougato @drawrunner

Thanks to everyone for playing my game!

Soullector by milq 2023-01-10T21:14:11Z

Graphics and sound were great even though the combat could have been better if the player had more actions to do instead of just moving. Overall a nice game

Night Harvest by Yani 2023-01-09T23:31:26Z

A fun little game, the mechanics are simple and easy to understand, even though the game itself is pretty challenging.

The ending though is a bit anti climatic and the footsteps feel a little strange without any head bobbing, but overall a nice game

Bow Knight Drifter by Kostas Nik 2023-01-10T22:35:25Z

The game overall is well made and very fun, but the progressing is a bit awkard: enemies were challenging but i honestly thought the dragon was just a first boss and not the final one since i was able to defeat it by simply standing in a corner and spamming with my sword. All things considered, it's a great game

Techno Plants by morpheyz 2023-01-10T21:51:49Z

Oh my god this game is amazing, i would love to see more of this with different tracks. Nothing bad to say, i like everything about it.

F.U.D: Food Under Development by Stellar Lily 2023-01-09T22:42:47Z

A really nice little game, maybe the field part could have had a bit more importance, but overall i had a ton of fun with the mechanics

LD53 — Delivery

Pet Delivery by tanis 2023-05-01T16:25:49Z

A really fun and well made game, had a good couple of laughs. The graphics and the audio are lovely, the gameplay is nice. Good Job!

Royal Capital Dark Store by kiv 2023-05-01T14:53:30Z

The game is quite fun, the gameplay loop is great and the animations/camera work is lovely; I have only 2 complatins.

- The walking sound is ear-shattering - Major bug: you don't need to pick the right 3 boxes, you can just keep taking one of the three until the quest is completed; I managed to finish the game in under 5 minutes by doing this

30 Seconds or it's free by Pixelhurricane 2023-05-01T16:05:54Z

Overall a nice game, the mechanics are good and the game looks and sounds great. The game although, gets a bit repetitive without a clear objective. I would have loved something like a scoreboard or costraint to make the game more challenging.

Delivery² by ThatMisterM 2023-05-01T15:47:09Z

It's crazy how intense a simple game like this can be, really shows you how far simplicity goes with good design. Overall a nice game, had tons of fun with it. Good Job!

Winged Delivery by Ninnec 2023-05-01T16:13:15Z

yay.PNG

__YOU DELIVERED 0 PARCELS, GOOD JOB!__ _incredibly epic music starts playing_

Had a good laugh for the unexpected ending, honestly didn't understand the game at first but after that I had quite some fun. The difficulty ramping is quite unbalanced.

DeliverZ by Plokie 2023-05-01T14:43:33Z

The game is alright, the accuracy of the box-shot is honestly incredible, i think it's a good entry for 20 hours of work. Good job!

African Bicycle Dealer by OldDog 2023-05-01T14:29:32Z

TL;DR A really nice and fun game, would love to see updates.

The audio was nice but I must admit that the SFXs get a bit annoying when you get deeper into the game

The graphics are lovely, everything looks really nice

The gameplay loop is really fun at first but gets a bit repetetive in the end when you realize there's really nothing more for you to do

Overall a nice game, It kept me attached to the screen for quite some time. Good Job!

Stork Exchange by Payaosito 2023-05-01T16:20:23Z

Overall a really nice game, had a ton of fun with it. My only complaint is the same as the comment above, it lacks an incentive to hurry. Graphics and SFXs are lovely, Good job!

Starhook Express by zSharpFire 2023-05-01T18:10:35Z

@nanixdev @niclee @tyegamedev @mals @adam-jenness Thank you for playing the game!

@adan1032 finally someone mentioned it, that video was all of my inspiration lmao

Dungeon Delivery by Krynxx 2023-05-01T15:17:58Z

Loovely graphics and audio, the gameplay feels nice and the game looks great. Good job!

Stock Vector by Jay Sirtest Productions 2023-05-01T15:11:29Z

Should have won game of the year award

Unread Messages by shimmerscale 2023-05-04T16:40:43Z

Really liked this game, the mechanics are simple yet they make for an interesting game. Graphics and audio were also nice.

Monster Bunker by kykypy3o8 2023-05-01T19:17:13Z

Overall a really nice game, I love the idea of being a helping hand instead of fighting directly the enemies. The gameplay loop is fine and the graphics/sfxs are great. Good Job!

Rain Sleet Zombies by SoloAdventurerGames 2023-05-01T15:38:10Z

Overall a nice game, the attack mechanic is a bit clunky but you can work around it. I've never been so scared in my life by a lightning-fast zombie. Good Job!

Rain Sleet Zombies by SoloAdventurerGames 2023-05-01T15:39:58Z

Overall a nice game, the attack mechanic is a bit clunky but you can work around it. I've never been so scared of a lightning-fast zombie in my life. Good Job!

Beat Boxes by PonyGirlLuna 2023-05-03T13:50:50Z

would have loved to play this but it keeps giving me a blue screen of death everytime I try to open it

IGNN International Galactic News Network - Deliver The News by Adam Jenness 2023-05-01T15:58:16Z

A really nice thought-provoking game, really original. The graphics and the SFXs were alright, had some fun with it. Good job!

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

FrogScape by Jiri_One 2024-10-11T19:20:34Z

A really fun game. The graphics and the sound work great, which make for a nice immersive experience. The controls and camera limitation make it a bit frustrating on the long run, but overall it's a really good job!

Jelly Gang by Split82 2024-10-08T14:51:34Z

really really nice, fun and engaging game! I love the mood. Nothing bad to say, nice level design, interesting mechanics and great feel.

Insecterminator by recyx 2024-10-08T13:28:01Z

Incredibly fun to play! I'm all out for vampire survivors style games, and this one does it's job really really well. Collecting points is a bit underwhelming, but overall it's an amazing game considering the time costraints. Good job!

Coulomb by bousing 2024-10-08T14:18:25Z

a bit too small but the idea is nice. the counter is a bit buggy.

Tiny Tumble by Beebo Studios 2024-10-08T12:43:36Z

lovely game that fits the theme. the camera follow makes the movement a bit hard, which is itself a bit tough. apart from that. it's a nice game.

Metamorph by Renier 2024-10-08T12:54:39Z

The lack of checkpoints makes dying really frustrating but I really liked the mechanics. With some smoother movement and some save points this could be a really really fun game. Overall a nice experience, I enjoyed it.

Wally's Woods by shaner421 2024-10-08T14:15:39Z

Love everything about it, the graphics, the sound, the gameplay. When wally disappeared I felt a chill down my spine.

Tiny Space Quest by betovf 2024-10-13T10:24:37Z

Incredibly cool game, it's challenging but not so hard that it becomes frustrating, just in the right spot. It also looks and sounds very nice. Good job!

Chumini: Tiny Army by Guilloteam 2024-10-11T21:41:49Z

Overall it's an ok vampire survivor like game, a genre which (I'm just starting to notice) saturates this website for some reason? I didn't really feel like I had any control whatsoever. I just prayed that the tiny things would go in the right spot to deal damage where I needed, but the only thing I myself could do was run away from enemies and spam abilities, which were in the middle between being the main source of damage and an extra bonus you get every now and then, without feeling like neither. In the end I think this is the main issue I had with the game. The camera prediction movement is a bit vomit inducing and some ui sfxs get a bit annoying. The game looked really good and sounded ok. Good job.

(also I don't know if I'm missing something but the dancers, which are supposed to orbit, just don't orbit? Is it a bug?)

Need For Snail:midnight by AegisFate 2024-10-08T12:32:54Z

Love the music and the graphics. The game is fun and encourages you to try other characters and items. I had a weird bug where if you went from the level select screen to the main menu the music would start again and stack multiple times.

Nanobot Tactics by zSharpFire 2024-10-08T14:38:16Z

@shakirovich @smothbreen @gerrit @captainzo Thank you for playing the game!

@mullenratte sadly the stronk bot has many problems caused by the way the barrels and batteries themselves work. The only working way to make them unmovable was making them incredibly heavy, and that brought many bugs. The bug of the stronk bot happens when you grab something while standing really close to it, probably because the bot collides with it and, since it's really heavy in the physics simulation, he can't move in that direction. Most bugs of the stronk bot (and the alt tab music bug) are known and I may fix them shortly in a post-ld release. The indicator for shooting objects is a nice idea and I'll probably add it soon :) thanks for playing the game!

Nanobot Tactics by zSharpFire 2024-10-08T17:55:08Z

@mrantoinest @wesel @kirby-borgir Thank you for playing the game!

@valmontechno I've never encountered that stretch bug, do you remember how it happened? The player was also supposed to be a bot but due to problems I had with Z-fighting in the model making process I wasn't able to fix everything in time, so he remained a cube :c also Thank you for playing the game!

@zappablamma I'll keep that in mind for the next LD. Thank you for playing the game!

Nanobot Tactics by zSharpFire 2024-10-12T11:37:37Z

@dmitrygalias Thank you for playing the game!

@stmate03 Wait, I've never encountered that arrow bug before, would you mind telling me how to replicate it? also thank you for playing the game

Nanobot Tactics by zSharpFire 2024-10-12T11:43:37Z

I'm adding a list of bugs I'm aware of and I know why they happen. If you find a bug that is NOT on the list, please write how that bug happened and how I may replicate it so that I can continue developing and fixing this game. Thank you in advance.

- Basically every bug with the Stronkbot. This incluedes clipping (both objects and with other bots), inconsistent throw force, weird interactions with the objects you pick up (can't move, fly) and more. That bot is a living hell. - The arrow stretching with the stretchbot. - The landing particles appearing at the wrong time when you select a bot you deselected before landing - The button has weird interactions with the Stretchbot state. - Can't jump on some things. - When tabbing out, another track starts playing. - Moving towards a wall while falling prevents you from doing so.

OCCHIO by PabloAbraham 2024-10-08T13:00:42Z

i honestly have no idea on how to play this

GLOW by Fenix131113 2024-10-08T14:23:10Z

the mood and immersion this games gives with it's music and art is just beautiful and mechanic is innovative. a little more clarity on how much longer you can stay alive would be nice but overall i had a nice experience.

Little sparkle by okEly 2024-10-11T21:59:54Z

Nice game but for some reason the UI didn't work at all for me.

Critter Crawler by Mullenratte 2024-10-08T13:34:20Z

nice game. the waypoint system is a bit wanky at times.

Perdita Creaturae by R1tz 2024-10-12T08:23:42Z

Really nice and immersive puzzle game, I liked it. The soft locking is a bit frustrating though.

Particle Wars by NickHellquist 2024-10-11T19:08:15Z

Overall it's an ok vampire survivors style game. It kinda fits the theme? Maybe more work on some areas like graphics, feel and enemies would have made this game wonders but I understand that the time is limited and you do what you can do. In the end I think you did a good job.
