| Dec 17 05:59:00 | Burglar | Brace yourself for some hopefully constructive criticism. Sorry for slamming your game if you already know these. <br/> <br/>The controls are confusing. Having to hold x and then z to use a weapon is confusing. It's not obvious that you can enter houses, and that z is the button to press to do that. I only skimmed through the control section, but it should have been easier to understand. <br/>Not engaging quick enough. I had to play for quite a while just to understand what was going on, and how to get back up to the top. Most people will only play a game for max 1 minute before moving onto another game if it's not interesting. <br/>No obvious goal. Maybe there is one, but it seems like you would have to play the game for a while to figure it out. <br/>Freezing when you die. This is major enough to be considered a bug, IMO, and you should try and fix it. Forcing people to refresh the page to replay the game would make lots of people leave. <br/>Also that dog is poorly positioned, as you usually die before even realising that it's there, and that you're meant to avoid it. <br/> <br/>Other things: Avoid using z as a control because it's not in the same place on every keyboard. <br/> <br/>Theme use was average. You want to tackle the theme in a more interesting way, or more successfully use the concept to get a higher rating. <br/> <br/>Graphics were good and bad. The mono-coloured thing worked Ok, but personally I think it's a bit ugly. Because of that, it was hard to tell what was people and what wasn't. But you managed to make a lot of graphics, so that's pretty good. I think you should've focused more on the gameplay first. <br/> <br/>Overall the game wasn't too bad, but it did seem quite unfinished. <br/> <br/>...wow I should learn to shorten my feedback, or else I won't have time to rate any games.

| Dec 17 06:03:00 | 4m 00s | Lil Assassin | Please provide some version of the game that is actually playable. XD |
| Dec 17 06:05:00 | 2m 00s | Necrominously Evil | Please upload the source files. <br/> <br/>Also explain how to play. XD |
| Dec 17 06:14:00 | 9m 00s | Crowd Control | This game is too long, IMO. Should be either shorter (i.e. less people), or more interesting. People need to move onto other games. XD <br/> <br/>The graphics were quite average... I think you should aim for a theme, like a restricted palette, or pixel graphics in the future. <br/> <br/>The sounds were quite average too. I'm not a big fan of that music generator... it's a bit over used. I don't know if it would be better than nothing though. <br/> <br/>And yeah the map is way too large. <br/> <br/>Still, good job! |
| Dec 17 06:16:00 | 2m 00s | RPS Battle | Web????? |
| Dec 17 06:17:00 | 1m 00s | Le Chasseur | Use dropbox |
| Dec 17 07:04:00 | 47m 00s | A Villain's Demise | I feel as though including music is somewhat cheating, as it would add to the mood and other stuff. Even though we're not meant to rate the game based on it. But you added another version, so I guess that's ok. Maybe you should label the other one so it's obvious it's not the compo entry. It would have been nice if there was some sound, like if the wind kept going or something during the game in the no-sound version. <br/> <br/>Still good job w/ graphics and such. <br/> <br/>My only complaints are: <br/>It's not hard enough. Games like this should have less health, so that the game goes quickly and you can retry quickly (IMO). I can't really be bothered to play all the way until I die. <br/> <br/>A shame it didn't really fit the theme. I mean, your character is a villain, but that's it, it didn't really change the gameplay in any aspect. <br/> <br/>Still, very polished looking game! |
| Dec 17 07:05:00 | 1m 00s | Dracula Super Goat Hunter | Look forward to playing this once the windows (or mac? (or WEB?)) version is up! |
| Dec 17 07:10:00 | 5m 00s | Kitten Hater | Wow... what a weird game. But kinda cool! <br/> <br/>I wish I had control of my own feet though. It's a shame it's quite short. <br/> <br/>It'd be nice if you could see the other world partially. <br/> <br/>Also: *primarily |
| Dec 17 07:17:00 | 7m 00s | Double Tap | Yes! This is how you make a LD game for a theme! <br/> <br/>Great job. One of the few games with a low fun rating, but high ratings in everything else. |
| Dec 17 09:27:00 | 2h 10m | Speedrun | lol I almost said "ProTip: Rename the download file to something like speedrun_by_jmk or something." but then I unarchived the file and was like hahahah <br/> <br/>Anyways this game is very good, good graphics, fun, good level of difficulty for a game you are meant to play several times, good audio... basically: GREAT JOB <br/> <br/>Only lacking category is theme really. Because you're not that much of a bad guy. Still you took an original approach which is better than a generic game. |
| Dec 17 09:33:00 | 6m 00s | The Villain - Christmas will not be | I got this error when trying to run it on a mac: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2963538/RemblegError.txt |
| Dec 17 11:31:00 | 1h 58m | SUPER KRUPA WORLD | Something's going wierd with the graphics: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2963538/ld25glitch.png <br/> <br/>Interesting game, but it was too small/short. |
| Dec 18 01:44:00 | 14h 13m | Dr. Vile in The Greater Good | Great job! My only suggestion would be to use button controls for the cutscenes, instead of having to switch to using the mouse. <br/> <br/>Good take on the theme too! |
| Dec 18 02:24:00 | 40m 00s | Subjugated | Interesting, although it definitely needs a map or something because I couldn't find my way back to base. <br/> <br/>The controls were also quite confusing for me, but I guess I haven't played any similar games before. |
| Dec 18 02:50:00 | 26m 00s | Sword Beats Vampire | Protip: If there's one web link for all OS's, just label the first field web and get rid of the others. <br/> <br/>Interesting game, but I found it a bit slow... would've been better if there was some goal instead of the time limit, I think. <br/> <br/>Graphics were pretty good, although you should set it so that the game doesn't scale, because the pixel graphics don't scale well. |
| Dec 18 03:27:00 | 37m 00s | The villain's dream | Interesting game, although I'm not sure why it goes for so long... 300s seems way too long. Judging by the screen shots the bullet section is all that's in the game so I don't think I'm missing anything by leaving early. <br/> <br/>But yeah I'm kinda just like whaaaat... |
| Dec 18 03:43:00 | 16m 00s | Internet Avenger | 30 seconds in: Already 5 stars for humour <br/> <br/>hahaha Opera HQ <br/> <br/>Also 5 stars for theme because this is really what the theme category is about: Good interpretations of the theme. :D <br/> <br/>Even though the jumping on platforms stuff is fairly simple and not that fun by itself, I still really enjoyed this game, because of the music and humour |
| Dec 18 03:57:00 | 14m 00s | The Level | Interesting concept, but the lack of sound did make a difference. Also, the gameplay wasn't very interesting... I suggest working on that first, before graphics, next time. |
| Dec 18 04:03:00 | 6m 00s | A Natural Villain | Interesting concept, although it needs other elements like powerups, etc to keep me entertained for longer. <br/> <br/>Reminds me of a lot of the Tiny World entries from last time. |
| Dec 18 04:05:00 | 2m 00s | Mother F****r Nature | Can't play on my mac, sorry. Mainly commenting so it leaves my page of games. |
| Dec 18 04:05:00 | 0s | Kill Butterflies | Can't play on my mac, sorry. Mainly commenting so it leaves my page of games. |
| Dec 18 04:13:00 | 8m 00s | Children : Reverse Slender | Yes! I was hoping someone would make a reverse slender game. :D |
| Dec 18 04:19:00 | 6m 00s | Lasers against Humanity | Hm... I don't know why this game isn't working... other love games have been. I've tried following your instructions, that didn't work. <br/> <br/>I'm on a mac btw. |
| Dec 18 04:43:00 | 24m 00s | Monologuer | Great game! Humorous too. Graphics probably were the only lacking part of this game. <br/> <br/>UNIONISATION <br/> <br/>Got 163s before letting them win |
| Dec 18 04:55:00 | 12m 00s | Hostile Hostels | Interesting, although I could never manage to upgrade to the 3rd hotel. I didn't really get why the hotels kept geting knocked down. |
| Dec 18 23:46:00 | 18h 51m | Crime Scene | Nice graphics, gameplay was a little simple though. Original theme use. :D |
| Dec 19 00:39:00 | 53m 00s | Tale of Scale | Cool game, but obviously lacking as far as the theme goes. <br/> <br/>My friend thought of this idea years ago, great to see it implemented as a game. :D |
| Dec 19 00:59:00 | 20m 00s | Heroes are so Annoying! | Great game! I might even check out the source and mess around with it. :D <br/> <br/>Great graphics, too. |
| Dec 19 04:19:00 | 3h 20m | Tourist Trap | Nice game! The sound didn't work on my mac, and pressing 'm' froze the game, so I just won't rate the audio. <br/> <br/>I still enjoyed it though. Last level was difficult but fun. :D |
| Dec 19 04:26:00 | 7m 00s | Death Star | Dodgy controls make this game unplayable. Also, the music wasn't working on my mac, using chrome. |
| Dec 19 04:37:00 | 11m 00s | Misadventures of Dr. Bardo | Yeah, third level was quite hard, I didn't beat it. <br/> <br/>graphics were pretty good, but the actual animation, of the character, wasn't very good, in my opinion. Needed to be more... animated. XD <br/> <br/>Still pretty good game. <br/> <br/>That noise sweep thingy in the music got annoying after a while. Also, the jump and landing sounds were delayed so that they were out of time with the actual character's actions. |
| Dec 22 23:44:00 | 91h 07m | Red Legion | I can't figure out how to play it on my mac... :S |
| Dec 23 22:47:00 | 23h 03m | Code Thief | Interesting concept, I guess a bit too much to accomplish with a 4 hour time limit. |
| Dec 25 12:20:00 | 37h 33m | Oil Co Exploits | Interesting concept, although kinda lacking the fun/game element for me. Seemed a little unfinished. Game worked fine on my Android, though, assuming there wasn't meant to be any sounds. |
| Dec 31 05:16:00 | 136h 56m | Bag a Bride | Nice! The audio was a little annoying, but a pretty hilarious game. A little buggy at times though, like if you threw another bag before the first disappeared it glitched. <br/> <br/>Nice graphics too. :D |
| Jan 1 23:58:00 | 42h 42m | Guardian Angel Devil | Nice twist! I kinda saw it coming, given the theme, and the fact that armour bonuses and etc were permanent. Some of the powers were a little overpowered (ie healing and damaging). Also, the gameplay was fairly slow. Graphics were good, and the generated music came out pretty well. I really liked this game, and the idea. :D <br/> <br/>Also the HTML 5 version worked fine. <br/> <br/>...oh, I see the stuff about the shield... that explains why all the attacks seemed really weak. |
| Jan 2 00:05:00 | 7m 00s | The Unseen Strangler | The game seemed ok, but a little slow. Needs to be more... gamey. :D <br/> <br/>Maybe try working the game and more levels before graphics? <br/> <br/>Also looks like you forgot to upload the source. |
| Jan 2 00:18:00 | 13m 00s | Mordor Must Resist! | FYI, you have to create all game content within the period yourself, so taking images like the volcanos and sky seems kinda cheating. <br/> <br/>I can't play this game on my mac, so I won't rate it, but that's my feedback. |
| Jan 4 00:05:00 | 47h 47m | 60 Second Bad Boy | wow... very very hard. <br/> <br/>Good job with the franticness though. :D |
| Jan 5 01:17:00 | 25h 12m | Mr. Fluffykins | What do other people do that use pygame? Surely they don't just give out the source file |
| Jan 5 01:17:00 | 0s | Death by Tree | Well, I can see why this has pretty much no votes. Are we expected to download the source files, edit them, and the compile them and run them? |
| Jan 5 01:19:00 | 2m 00s | Henchmen | Well, better luck next time! Maybe try to not make an iPad app, if you can't have an emulator version/android version |
| Jan 5 01:21:00 | 2m 00s | Villain Game | Well, I hope you know what to do different next time |
| Jan 5 01:23:00 | 2m 00s | Get Rid Of The Guard | Next time my advice would be before the competition figure out how to export a jar or whatever, so that you now how to do it during the competition. <br/> <br/>Also, "You" is better than "U" :P |
| Jan 5 01:26:00 | 3m 00s | Neurovirus | Is it possible to export the files to an executable using pygame? Surely it is... what do other people do that use pygame. <br/> <br/>You should try and figure out how to do that before the next ludum dare, so that you know you'll be able to create a version that people can play. |
| Jan 5 01:28:00 | 2m 00s | Smite the King! | Yeah, bad name. Weird when your last LD game was so good. |
| Jan 5 01:32:00 | 4m 00s | CYBERQUEEN | going by comments, I don't think I really want to play this game. :S |
| Jan 7 06:14:00 | 52h 42m | GLORPLAX III | it's funny, having difficult and awkward controls is typically a rookie mistake lots of people make on ludum dare, especially so when people say "They're not bad, that's the challenge of the game". But you managed to actually pull it off! Good job! <br/> <br/>I played this game with a friend and we both had fun playing it. :D |
