A Fishing Adventure Excellent work. Well done! Loved the puzzles. Loved the absurd ideas (fishing with a grappling hook!!). Had a hard time identifying the types of fish in the water and the ability to reset a level without dying would have been nice. :) I hope you continue to polish this title and explore the mechanics a bit more.
The Naturalist Liked the evolution (mutation?) mechanic. Very polished for what it is.
Deep Under an Island My only frustration was not knowing about "BACKSPACE" when I went for the first pellets and got stuck. ;) Very cute game! Simple premise but well executed. The puzzles challenged me progressively but were never frustrating. I had a great time playing this!
I HATE ISLANDS After hours of voting, I needed this break. Absolutely hilarious. If this doesn't win in the Humor category something is seriously wrong. A lot of fun to play too!
Pee Wee Pirates I quite enjoyed this. :) Fun gameplay and perfect audio. Great stuff!
Jealous Gods Nice! Very "Black &amp; White"-esque. ;) I agree with Endurion in that it took a second to figure out which Tiki was me. The fireballs were sometimes annoying when they'd just bounce off each other (I felt like I was perpetually stuck in a Ryu/Ken hadoken showdown). <br/>The graphics are good. The sound effects are great. And the core gameplay is fun. Well done! Please polish this and post it on Kongregate, I'd totally want to play a more fleshed out version.
Conquistador Thank you for the default load-out button!
Turtle Ferry Your visual style is as compelling and adorable as always.
Infinite Deadly Islands Of Terror Very fun. :) Your entries are always of exceptional quality with lots of substance.
Message Interesting concept. Wasn't as intuitive as I would have liked (watch people play this cold to see how to improve this element). I obviously had to ignore your music for marking because it broke a few rules (even though it was lovely!). :(
Eden Island I love it. This is my favourite entry so far. Glad I stuck around long enough to see the pirates. I'd love to see this expanded on so I can watch my Island evolve and survive through other scenerios. <br/> <br/>But yeah.. LD is a solo competition. Though it looks like this FAQ didn't transfer over to LD17: http://www.ludumdare.com/wiki/ld16:faq <br/>(I only dinged you under "Community" for not following the solo rule.)
Tropical Islands of Doom The camera controls are brutal but otherwise a good entry.
Radio Silence Oww my frickin ears! Some of those radio frequencies are brutal! I definitely liked the atmosphere you built up. Great to see you dabbling with Unity. :)
Is Lands? The audio really made this. Great interpretation of the theme!
Kallista's Dream I have no idea what I was doing! I definitely like the way you interpreted the theme though.
Island Rescue Very clever take on Tetris. Simple premise. Easy to pick up and lots of fun to play. Great stuff!
Iceland and the volcanic ASH of DOOM The controls were brutal, which is unfortunate because the core gameplay would have been fun!
The Forgotten Isles I definitely like the minimalist art style you went for. The story was engaging. Some of the mazes were frustrating and it felt like trial and error to find the right path. Nice job!
Baby Leviathan: Eat All Fishies Love the control scheme!
Artifact Hunt The music and scenery was very nice. The gameplay wasn't engaging and I got tired of the game before I got tired in the game. Still, you clearly have a talent for building atmosphere. Congrats on getting a submission together in time!
Eyelands Holy crap they killed me so fast! I didn't stand a chance!
i thought we had a thing omg she's so needy. You should map "2" to slap her. I had a good time fetching the items and unraveling the story. Very cute. :)
Micro Silent Hunter I can see where you're trying to go with your concept! I like the idea of the multiple views, but I just wasn't able to get into the game. Gameplay was not as intuitive as it could be. At one point my submarine disappeared and I wasn't sure if I died or if there was a bug. I encountered many other graphical bugs and performance issues. <br/> <br/>If you want to develop this further I'd suggest watching people play it cold. As well, clean up the bugs. <br/> <br/>Congrats on getting a submission done! Hope you had a fun first-LD. :)
Evil Lair Command Amazing that this is done in Javascript+Canvas! The enemy ships are so tiny! It's awfully hard to click them in time! Still, major props in technical achievement. Well done.
Dreams of how we once were You're dark man. Very very dark.
Waves The rescue helicopter leaves so fast :( <br/>The control is good and it's fun to get that perfect jump out of the water.
Land Ho! It's really relaxing when you get into the groove of sailing around.
Island Defence The shield depletion is wayy too slow, as is the rate of fire of the player's weapon. It felt like the game was trying to be more "strategy" given the pacing, but "action" pacing would suit this better. <br/> <br/>Animations could have added more life to the screen. SFX and Music definitely would have improved the user's engagement.
tailspin Very difficult to control.
Ganjisland Interesting concept. I'd definitely like to see where you go with this.
