| Aug 23 03:09:00 | Coin Runner | This is my favorite game on LD21 so far. The upgrade thing makes this really addicting! | |
| Aug 23 13:00:00 | 9h 51m | City Runner | Really nice! I also went with an "escape the city" type game, and about halfway through developing my game, I realized I should have gone with a maze generator instead of randomly placed buildings- great minds think alike, maybe? |
| Aug 24 01:52:00 | 12h 52m | Bounce-onium! | Nice job! I actually like the bite-sized levels, and I could definitely see people playing a couple at a time on their phone as they're waiting in line, on the bus, etc. As people have said, it would be even better if it had enemies/traps/danger to avoid or destroy, but you probably already knew that! <br/> <br/>And this is just me thinking out loud, but how hard would it be to create a level editor to allow players to trade levels? |
| Aug 24 02:03:00 | 11m 00s | Need For Code : Escape | This is an awesome start for a first time attempt at writing a game, and I really hope you keep at it! I actually really liked the slippery controls and thought they were quite fun, although it felt more like a hovercraft than a car, haha. <br/> <br/>Don't take any criticisms too hard, and consider this a lesson learned- some of the best games here are just circles and rectangles without any art at all. Art should be the last thing you worry about when you make a game, and that's an important lesson to learn, so your time wasn't wasted. <br/> <br/>Just think- you've done more in 48 hours than most people who think about game programming ever do, so if you give yourself another month, what awesome things could you pull off? |
| Aug 24 02:38:00 | 35m 00s | Under a Watchful Eye | Nice job! |
| Aug 24 02:51:00 | 13m 00s | Urth | Awesome! It took me a few minutes to figure out what I was supposed to be doing, but once I caught on it was really addicting! |
| Aug 24 03:09:00 | 18m 00s | Super Kommandant Exteme | Awesome, and a really creative take on the theme! |
| Aug 24 03:23:00 | 14m 00s | Something embarrassingly bad | I really really love the idea behind this game, but I can't quite get it to work :c <br/> <br/>Am I doing something wrong? <br/> <br/>Maybe a hint about how to get past the first level would help! |
| Aug 24 03:34:00 | 11m 00s | The Escape | Awesome, I'm really jealous of your level design skills! |
| Aug 24 03:40:00 | 6m 00s | When I Was Human | I usually hate games that resemble other games, but I think you added enough really cool features to make this a nice homage. Good work! |
| Aug 24 15:17:00 | 11h 37m | Bomber Planet | Hey cool, you were mentioned on Wired: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-08/23/ludum-dare-21 |
| Aug 25 02:14:00 | 10h 57m | Viral | This is an awesome start and I'd like to see what you do with it next! I'd love to see this as a multiplayer with more powers and enemies. |
| Aug 25 02:20:00 | 6m 00s | Scratchy Get Out! | This seems like a good start, but as others have pointed out, it's too challenging, half from lack of direction and half from bugs. <br/> <br/>Also, I don't know whether this is in your control, but I'd be willing to bet that a lot of people hit the "back" button when they saw the ad at the beginning of the game. |
| Aug 25 02:26:00 | 6m 00s | Road to Escape | The graphics are awesome, but I can't really dodge the cars very effectively. Maybe it would be better with a little warning just before one shows up? |
| Aug 25 02:45:00 | 19m 00s | The Man Who Sold The World | I'd like to rate this, but I feel like I shouldn't after reading that you cheated with the 12 hour extension. That's a shame. |
| Aug 25 03:05:00 | 20m 00s | Escape from Planet 21 | Awesome graphics, awesome idea with the thrusters, basically everything everyone already said. |
| Aug 25 03:13:00 | 8m 00s | ""Escape the Flood 3D"" | Great graphics, great idea. It would have been even better had you used dragging instead of clicking, that way the player doesn't have to spam clicks to get things done. Awesome start though! |
| Aug 25 03:30:00 | 17m 00s | Vampire Runner | This is an awesome start, and I can see this becoming really addicting with some better graphics and a few more surprises. Well done. |
| Aug 25 03:32:00 | 2m 00s | / ESCAPE \ | Is the web (old) link broken? It doesn't work for me :c |
| Aug 26 18:28:00 | 38h 56m | Lost in the Depths | This looks interesting, but I just get a black screen with a NPE in the Java console: <br/> <br/>Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.lang.NullPointerException <br/> at litd.client.Game.mousePressed(Game.java:387) |
| Aug 26 18:35:00 | 7m 00s | Escape from Limbo | I don't want to be a jerk, but I wouldn't be surprised if that "Donate" thing is scaring people off from playing your game. You might try linking to a personal webpage instead. Just my $.02 though. |
| Aug 26 18:41:00 | 6m 00s | Red-Line to Shady Grove | This is one of my favorites. It's really creative and actually matches the theme really well, and you did an awesome job of slowly introducing game elements in a fun way without any text. Really nice job. |
| Aug 26 18:48:00 | 7m 00s | Spotlight Search Deluxe | Awesome work, Mini Troll! |
| Aug 26 19:17:00 | 29m 00s | Planet of Plants | I actually quite enjoyed this game, although I couldn't figure out the right strategy to win. And I'd be willing to bet that this game started out as an idea for a different theme, didn't it? ;-) |
| Aug 26 19:28:00 | 11m 00s | Pointless Spheres From Above | This is an awesome start, I'd love to see where you take this next! |
| Aug 26 19:46:00 | 18m 00s | Escape the Normal Life | Nice job... this didn't start off as a game for a different theme, did it? ;-) |
| Aug 26 19:57:00 | 11m 00s | Ballin' Basement | Good start, although like everybody else, it took me quite a while to get used to the physics and controls. |
| Aug 26 20:27:00 | 30m 00s | Reveal | This is an awesome start, I'd love to see what you did with this after some time for polishing. |
| Aug 26 20:35:00 | 8m 00s | Hamster Escape! | What Shigor said. |
| Aug 26 20:40:00 | 5m 00s | Huescape | This is an awesome start and I'd love to see where you take this with more time! |
| Aug 26 20:56:00 | 16m 00s | Escape the Drones | What lilserf said. |
| Aug 26 21:09:00 | 13m 00s | Freeway escape | Really nice start. To take it to the next level, you could have the other cars respond more to being hit- let me knock them out of the way, or into each other, or into the cops! Or make the cops more aggressive so I have more of a reason to escape them - and give me an oncoming traffic lane that I can swerve into to cause the cops to crash! <br/> <br/>I think it's a sign of a good game when you make the players start imagining what they would add. You've done that. Good job, especially for your first time around. |
| Aug 26 21:20:00 | 11m 00s | Beak Free | That's a really great start and an interesting idea, but it would have been even better if you had a few easy levels at the beginning for the player to get used to the controls. |
| Aug 26 21:26:00 | 6m 00s | EscapeOut | This is the first game that actually made me smile. The "surprise" still feels weird to watch, it's breaking all the rules! |
| Aug 26 21:31:00 | 5m 00s | The Villainous Villa | I don't usually like games like this, but this one was fun! |
| Aug 26 21:41:00 | 10m 00s | Pressure | As others have said, the timing in this game is really well done. That's sometimes hard to get right, but you did a good job with it. Tell your parents that they're keeping you from valuable educational activities! (I'm not being sarcastic, I can't think of a much more educational experience than trying to jam out a working game in 48 hours) |
| Aug 26 22:24:00 | 43m 00s | Hell Fortress Escape | Nice work, although on your page you say you fixed a minor oversight after the competition ended. Isn't that not allowed? |
| Aug 27 00:11:00 | 1h 47m | I Think In A Minute Or So I Will Explode | I don't think you were supposed to use the extending submission time to make any changes to your game, but otherwise this is really nice work. |
| Aug 27 00:24:00 | 13m 00s | BRITAIN:2027 | I love the feel of this one, really well done! |
| Aug 27 00:30:00 | 6m 00s | A tale about life, death and a looser. | This is delightfully depressing. Well done. |
| Aug 27 20:52:00 | 20h 22m | The Legend of Shoe | I liked this game! It kept me interested enough to play through the whole thing, which is more than I can say for most other entries! |
| Aug 27 22:30:00 | 1h 38m | Skank | What.. the.. what. |
| Aug 28 03:32:00 | 5h 02m | Mangore | Same crash on firefox. |
| Aug 28 03:40:00 | 8m 00s | Momentum | Interesting control scheme, it would be nice to see some longer levels! |
| Aug 28 03:46:00 | 6m 00s | Planetration | Nice mix of gameplay mechanics! |
| Aug 28 03:55:00 | 9m 00s | FuhFuhFire! | Awesome idea, and really pretty, but I couldn't quite figure out what I was supposed to be doing. |
| Aug 28 04:44:00 | 49m 00s | Cut Here | This is a really great use of the "cutting things with the mouse" gameplay mechanic. And it's quite pretty! |
| Aug 28 15:26:00 | 10h 42m | MageRunner | Yeah, I have to say that forcing players to register and login probably scared a lot of people away from this one. Setting up a guest account would have gone a long way to fix that. |
| Aug 28 15:32:00 | 6m 00s | Escape Imprisonment at the Satanic Mental Hospital | Pretty good start.. one thing that would really help is having a longer reach, as I couldn't ever punch the bad guys without getting hurt myself. |
| Aug 28 15:39:00 | 7m 00s | EvilMegaCorp | Hahahaha: <br/> <br/>If... -reload. |
| Sep 1 02:02:00 | 82h 23m | Spiders v. Aliens | Awesome start to a creative idea, keep up the good work! |
| Sep 1 02:33:00 | 31m 00s | TREASURES | I think there are a lot of cool ideas here that deserve to be explored more- maybe give the treasure a bigger role (make it hurt enemies other than the boss, maybe make the enemies chase it, etc). Good start though! |
| Sep 1 02:39:00 | 6m 00s | Flee Buster | Hahaha I really like this one. And these are my favorite sounds ever. |
| Sep 1 02:47:00 | 8m 00s | Close Your Eyes | Like others have said, it's a great concept, but the game sorta made its most important piece unnecessary by not making the monsters hurt you. I'd love to see this one fleshed out a bit more. |
