| Apr 25 16:35:00 | Copulous | Awesome! The change of music added to it nicely. <br/>The only thing I would have liked to have seen would be better car controls, perhaps I was after something more realistic, and less slidy. <br/>Fun game tho :) | |
| Apr 28 06:46:00 | 62h 11m | Scape | Very cool! Was a bit standard at the start (was thinking to myself, Ive seen this type of puzzel game before), then when the brown blocks started appearing it got interesting! So points for innovation there, thats something ive never come across in these kinds of games. Liked the retro sfx and graphics as well. |
| Apr 28 08:23:00 | 1h 37m | ANT SURF HERO: THE SURFENING | One of my favs so far, this is a very fun little game. Got some great humor (especially at the end) and I enjoyed running along feeling empowered by my noble ant steed. It was also a very satisfying game to play, especially during those moments when you jump around getting one hit kills, while dodging enemy attack. Has that 'ace' james bond feel if you get a good kill streak. |
| Apr 28 08:33:00 | 10m 00s | Chip Wars | I like the idea here! But it is clear you didnt get a few things done which probably would have added to it a lot. Some sfx, and visuals to show the enemys were doing damage or being attacked would have helped convey a lot. As with a master health bar or something. I was going to say that making it more obvious where and how the parts attach would help, but I think thats just part of learning initially. Perhaps a tutorial level (without attacking baddies) would be cool, so the player can practice and get tips before jumping into the real game. <br/> <br/>This has potential though, Ive given you points for innovation and in keeping with the theme. Add more parts, some more structure and conveyance and this will develop nicely :) |
| Apr 28 08:49:00 | 16m 00s | Drill It!: Demolition Co. | Controls could use more polish, and the pace was a bit slow, but damn Im a sucker for those gameboy style graphics and overall this is one of the best games Ive played yet. <br/>It was a fun game, and I liked the variations in enemy, along with the planets and their expressions. Something cool would have been if the planets looked sadder and sadder (or more and more distraught), as you successfully drilled each bit. Managed to get to the end, last level was a good challenge (had 2 seconds left) <br/>And yeh I barely even used the bomb, perhaps add some fixed ground enemies which pop up and shoot you occasionally and are a bit of a pest, meaning you have to fly round to bomb them. <br/>Nice work though! |
| Apr 28 09:24:00 | 35m 00s | Epic Scale Warfare | Unable to play unfortunately, didnt run properly in firefox, or explorer. |
| Apr 28 10:16:00 | 52m 00s | Dino Wrangler | I get the feeling this will probably be in my top 4 games of LD23, really nice work! <br/> <br/>I loved jumping around, the way it worked was very intuitive and it was a lot of fun to play. I found myself not just rushing to get though it so I could get onto other entries, but actually playing it for the enjoyment. Satisfying, those rare times when you time a jump perfectly to intersept and kick an Dino flying around in orbit around one of the planets. <br/> <br/>Pity theres no music however, even if you didnt make it, it would have added to the game nicely. <br/> <br/>My only main suggestion would be to make it so the camera zooms out when you go off screen, that way you can still see where you are + any dinos out in a far orbit youd want to chase down. Plus I was expecting some black holes being thrown in there as well or some other objects that repel the player, just to mix things up (Im not sure if I made it to the last level though, so I might be wrong if those kinds of things are in there) |
| Apr 28 15:52:00 | 5h 36m | Casal Navity | Im getting the same error, cant play :( |
| Apr 29 03:34:00 | 11h 42m | Gravity Sucks [WEB] | Good work all round, very nice menu and intro to the game, and the game itself plays well. Awesome music as well! |
| Apr 29 03:38:00 | 4m 00s | Peppyland | Nice little game, a bit lacking in innovation though, and a bit short. |
| Apr 29 03:47:00 | 9m 00s | Tiny Quest | Not much innovation or humor involved, but still a very nice little game. I managed to get to the end, the boss was a bit frustrating at times, simply because Id get damage from the fire if I was standing on one of the blocks too close to the edge. <br/>Graphics are perfect, loving the retro looking games for this LD. Enoyed the audio as well, and especially the sound and look of the little fire breathing enemies. Well done :) |
| Apr 29 04:02:00 | 15m 00s | Tiny Island Adventure | Very nice! Also played it right to the end. Im not much of a far of 2D platformers, but this one had some charm. <br/>Character controls were spot on, and I really liked the graphics style. Level design was nicely done as well, I appreciate the fact that the mini levels were designed to be a challange to get though from both directions. You obviously did that to get more mileage out of the game, and it worked! <br/>My only issue is that there is no timelapse, would have liked to have seen your development! |
| Apr 29 06:39:00 | 2h 37m | The tale of a microwave... | Good for a first time entry, a couple of issues are present like the camera glitching when you jump around on the asteroids, and I didnt quite understand why you had to press space to add new enemies. Perhaps it could have been 'press space when your ready for the next wave' or something. <br/>Keep at it tho! |
| Apr 29 06:47:00 | 8m 00s | Subatomica | Cool game, fits the theme really well and full stars for innovation. I remember seeing it during the very early WIP on the front page, love the trails the particles leave. |
| Apr 29 06:54:00 | 7m 00s | Sprace | Interesting idea! I like the little popping sounds they make. This is definitely a game which works because its kept simple. |
| Apr 29 10:49:00 | 3h 55m | Haxe Planets | Not really my kind of game (dont like the whole one button thing going on, makes controlling the character frustrating) <br/>But its one of the nicer looking LD entries, so points for that. |
| Apr 29 11:29:00 | 40m 00s | Inside My Radio | Amazing! And for 72 hours, I kept thinking 'screw 72 hours, this could be a commercial game!' <br/>Great gameplay, loved the beat(s)! |
| Apr 29 11:40:00 | 11m 00s | Asylum | Very nice little game, loved the graphics. The intro might have gone on for a bit longer than I would have liked, but it wasnt too bad. Would be tiresome if you wanted to play a couple more times though, so perhaps some way to skip the intro would help. And of course sfx would have really added to this too! <br/>Either way though, awesome game with some great mood and atmosphere. |
| Apr 29 11:45:00 | 5m 00s | CAPSULE [web] | A unique kind of game, I had to play it though a few times to see what I could do. One of the first LD games to make me chuckle (launching the workers violently into the ceiling) |
| Apr 29 11:55:00 | 10m 00s | Astro Break | Nailed it! Spent a good amount of time playing this one. Its a challange, and its fun. Reminds me, for obvious reasons, of Asteroids. Feels like a 'modern' version which would have come out in the 80-90's on the SNES or something :) <br/>The only thing I would have added is the ability to shoot sideways at times, that would have been handy. |
| Apr 29 12:08:00 | 13m 00s | Angstrom | Well done, a fun game! My only crit with the whole thing, is that you cant shoot forwards whilst running backwards, which lead me to die a few times. Makes the combat a bit clumsy. |
| Apr 29 13:45:00 | 1h 37m | Atomsmash | One thing I wasnt expecting to see, a Commodore 64 style game! Really interested in this one, the C64 was my first computer as well, all those years ago. <br/>So I appreciate whats going on here. And Ive never even heard of SEUCK, Ill have to give it a go for sure. Ive always wanted to make my own C64 game before, but just havent had the time to learn Basic yet. This might be a quicker way to make something quick and fun. <br/> <br/>As far as the game goes though, I enjoyed playing it and it had a decent level of difficulty. Reminded me a lot of another old game I used to play a ton - Tyrian. <br/> <br/>The game itself might not be that innovative, but youve scored some big points in that category for having the guts to make a C64 game for a Ludum Dare. Might just have to do the same myself in future - inspired! :) <br/> <br/>The last thing too - Id get a Web version up asap if possible (you said you might), a lot of people wont download an emulator just to play. Plus setting up the controls with the emulator I used is a complete pain in the ass, even moreso if youve never used the emulator before. So it would be worth your time to get the web version working! |
| May 1 09:46:00 | 44h 01m | Deity | Cool little game, found it a bit more sinister than humorous tho, but funny all the same :) Some of the better music Ive heard in a LD game so far, really adds to it. |
| May 1 09:49:00 | 3m 00s | Polarity | Very polished little game here, love the text and smooth feel of it all mixed in with the pixel graphics. <br/>Sfx and music would have really added to it however, shame there isnt any. |
| May 1 09:55:00 | 6m 00s | HUNGRY BUGS | Fun little game, I like how the super simple graphics add to the overall game nicely. Was a bit easy though, I managed tog et a few plants around and even up the terrain, the bugs seemed happy after that. Some additional things (like enemies coming along or fire etc) would have added to the difficulty and challenge. |
| May 1 10:00:00 | 5m 00s | Cereal Prize Astronaut | As others have said, the controls are a bit of an issue, very 'sticky', but the lighting is very nice. Would make for an interesting game with a bit more work! |
| May 1 10:11:00 | 11m 00s | Mirror Rays | Ah, a tricky one! The mirror feature is pretty cool however, makes for some interesting puzzels. Loved the bit where he said 'please dont press D', shortly after Id already pressed it and worked out it was for debugging the character death or something XD |
| May 3 16:09:00 | 53h 58m | Aether | One of my favs for this LD overall, this game is awesome! It actually makes you want to go back and play it again once you finish it. <br/>Sfx, graphics, mood, fun & innovation are all great. <br/> <br/>My only crits are that a few more enemies would have been cool (perhaps faster spacecraft which shoot lazers, less terrain destruction but something else to think about) <br/>Theres really some potential there for a variety of earth smashing enemies. <br/>I would have also have liked the end mountain to have been destructible as well, just to add to the stress of that final bit (which I thought was a bit easy), the mountain could have perhaps been made out of slightly stronger material, but not indestructible. <br/> <br/>A good game all round though, really enjoyed this one! |
| May 3 16:24:00 | 15m 00s | Recluse | Ha, that was not expected! Surprising to say the least, and very enjoyable and innovative. This is what LD game devs need to focus on - make one fun and creative gameplay element, then build a game around it. <br/>Nailed it! |
| May 4 04:39:00 | 12h 15m | Cloud Realm | Interesting little game. Bit complex with all the controls however, and I dont think I ever got the hang of the gliding part. <br/>You can see a ton of work has gone into this game though, so well done, graphics are quite nice and the battle is pretty cool |
| May 4 05:00:00 | 21m 00s | subAtomic | Haha a very well made game. <br/>Was that a jab at the end of Mass effect in there too? XD <br/>Quite a lengthy game, given it was a 48 hour compo, impressive. Would have been cool if the graphics were a bit better, thats my only crit. Ill have to play though again and try to make a force field :) |
| May 4 05:12:00 | 12m 00s | THE TINY PIRATE KNOWS MAGIC | Lol at the abrupt ending XD <br/>This game has potential though, I like the graphics style and sfx, sets a nice mood. |
| May 4 05:29:00 | 17m 00s | Hungry Ants | Nice graphics, all my ants got owned by big white ones though. Was a fun game to play, except the hotkeys didnt work for me so building was tedious and slow. |
| May 4 05:33:00 | 4m 00s | Ant Run | Interesting game, didnt like that you couldnt rotate and move more freely however, but was still a good challenge. |
| May 4 05:38:00 | 5m 00s | Maru | Nice graphics, hard to play properly though, since theres no one else around at the moment to play the 2nd player. foreveralone.jpg <br/>Either way though, a cool looking game. Was just a bit confused about how to control which way the boat goes, seems to be pushed around by random wind, some indicator of the wind direction would have been handy. |
| May 4 05:42:00 | 4m 00s | survive the world | Gameplay is a bit simple, yet challenging enough to keep you engaged for a bit. A larger score display, closer to the action would have been good as well, kept having to look away up to the top to see how I was going, which pretty much made me die every time. <br/>Wasnt too keen on the music, would have been better without the lyrics, just an ambient space-y tune. |
| May 4 05:47:00 | 5m 00s | SUBPIXEL | Cool puzzle concept, liked the retro sfx as well. |
| May 4 05:52:00 | 5m 00s | Pastor Mundi | Love the graphics style for this 3D game, and im glad there was a decent sized level, since exploring and planting seeds is pretty much all there is to do in this game. Has potential though <br/>And I also got stuck in the ocean :) <br/>Controls went a bit crazy when I tried to climb that wooden house, player spun around crazily for a bit. |
| May 4 05:59:00 | 7m 00s | T in Y World | Very unique concept, I like how individual letters have their own traits, youve very quickly established a whole other world! |
| May 4 06:04:00 | 5m 00s | Disregard All Humans | Overall pretty solid, took me a while to realize the planet was shrinking, and took quite some time to beat it! Damn little humans making new cities all over the place :) |
| May 4 06:07:00 | 3m 00s | Oh Boy, Oh Boy | Lacking a soundtrack or sfx unfortunately, but this is one nice game to look at! |
| May 5 15:15:00 | 33h 08m | Lilac.27 | Outstanding! Graphics are very nice, audio is spot on, the game itself is a lot of fun. I was dissapointed at the start screen because I was having so much fun shooting at the title, and I accidently hit the start box. Great way to introduce the main game mechanic as well though, knew exactly what to do as soon as I saw I was a character with a crossbow. The title screen is the main tutorial of the game! XD <br/>My only issue was with the camera controls, was a bit of a pain to use Z and C to turn it. Could have used left click and drag instead, that would have worked better I imagine (or Q and E as others have said) <br/>But yeh, well done! |
| May 5 15:27:00 | 12m 00s | Cruel space | Very nice game! The best combat in any LD game Ive ever played, and it was a good challenge as well. Almost died on those last 2 planets, that boss planet was mental! |
| May 7 07:59:00 | 40h 32m | Memento XII | Top points for graphics and mood, this game has it all! Love that blurry effect. Seems to have a good story behind it as well, altho Im yet to make it to the end. <br/>I like the way the cell translates from room to cell etc, very well done all round! |
| May 7 08:04:00 | 5m 00s | Where It Begins | Interesting little game, I was confused as to what circle I was controlling for most of it though, could have made it stand out in some way. Short level as well, but for 6 hours, not bad! |
| May 8 07:49:00 | 23h 45m | Tiny Wizard | Definitely one of the more fun LD games Ive played! <br/>The combat was enjoyable, and the hats and their special abilities were cool. <br/>My only gripe is that there was no real indication of you getting hurt, ie no sound and no visual. |
| May 8 07:55:00 | 6m 00s | Dude, where's my planet | Innovative use of the whole 'little planet gravity' idea, I found timing the jumps a bit frustrating at times though. <br/>Graphics were very nice! |
| May 8 08:06:00 | 11m 00s | Corebound | Cool little game, music got a bit repetitive though. Was fun flying around and the moon walk level was pretty cool. |
| May 8 08:17:00 | 11m 00s | Lililput | Awesome game, fair tricky tho, doesnt exactly ease into it (maybe I need to practice typing more) <br/> <br/>Either way, the graphics are spot on and the 8bit audio is good to listen to, the music really adds to the pace. A nice challenge |
| May 8 08:29:00 | 12m 00s | Little City | Pretty funny game, lol'd @ the cows. Reminds me of a lot of Commodore 64 games I used to play, and a bit of the original red/blue pokemon games. <br/> <br/>Wasnt really sure what the aim of the game was though, kinda ran out of things to do once id talked to everyone. |
| May 8 08:41:00 | 12m 00s | Microscopia | Very innovative! Started off thinking it was super easy, then it sunk in! Super simplistic, and nicely done because of that. |
| May 8 09:11:00 | 30m 00s | Tiny War | Cool, nice innovative concept with the gravity, didnt notice for a while, then when the stars started appearing I noticed I was jumping a lot higher! <br/>Those pink things were pretty brutal, and swarmed at times, lots of damage from all directions, but I never seemed to die, so it was a bit easy if anything. Cool game all round though, the gravity and flipped half made it so. |
| May 8 09:13:00 | 2m 00s | Celia | Nice work guys, and good usage of the shrinking, that was a nice addition to the game. <br/>Graphics were really nice, and that slow scrolling background made my brain trip out on several occasions! |
| May 13 13:29:00 | 124h 16m | It's a tab | Ha, unexpected! Didnt even know this was possible, nice one. I gave up in I think the 4th room though, was too tricky to get across the lava. |
| May 13 13:36:00 | 7m 00s | Walker | Interesting idea, levels could have been a bit longer tho. Well done on making a game which is quite out there! |
| May 13 13:46:00 | 10m 00s | Game With a Fantastic Title | Really nice game! Enjoyed playing it a lot, the only game all LD ive given full starts to for Audio too.. My only crit is that the player model is a bit basic. <br/>Also the last level was my favorite tune :) |
| May 13 13:54:00 | 8m 00s | Evolve | Nice amusing and moody game. Was fun to see what combiations would result in. Some nice graphics to be seen here :) |
| May 13 14:37:00 | 43m 00s | The Tiny Gryphalope | Very nice graphics, audio is alright as well. Flying was fun, but shooting at enemies was hard, the shots didnt seem to line up as youd hope, and enemies were hard to spot since they were dark like the background. <br/>But having said that, I played it several times just because it as fun flying around shooting etc! |
| May 13 14:43:00 | 6m 00s | Curse Of Grimwood | Simple graphics worked well. A lot of features in this game to implement in 48 hours, nice work. |
