| Apr 29 03:17:00 | Minimal Jump | I had quite a bit of fun playing this game, though I have to say that having the player character wrap around the screen instantly but not the holes kind of messed with my head a lot. | |
| Apr 29 03:31:00 | 14m 00s | Persist | I actually thought that your loading screen was part of the game since I couldn't see the bar moving, so I thought the game was frozen at first. I really like the mood/music/plot/mechanics/theme but I had to give up at the waterfall level. The controls were sticking and sometimes weren't responding, which was pretty frustrating combined with the challenging jumps. |
| Apr 29 03:44:00 | 13m 00s | Minimal Force | I really liked it! At first I have to say I thought it was just a normal platformer, but then I realized that it's actually a really nice physics puzzle game. |
| Apr 29 03:51:00 | 7m 00s | Recondite Rectangles | Wow, this game is awesome. I love the idea and the puzzle and the fact that it all takes place on the same grid. Great job! |
| Apr 29 04:08:00 | 17m 00s | Scout Droid Bravo 325 Jr | Loved the dialogue! |
| Apr 29 04:11:00 | 3m 00s | Departing of the Sensory | I have to say I found this exceptionally hilarious. |
| Apr 29 04:29:00 | 18m 00s | One fine morning our machines are gonna cut us down | It *is* very hard, but definitely very fun! |
| Apr 29 04:34:00 | 5m 00s | Insert Name Here | This game is hilarious! |
| Apr 29 04:43:00 | 9m 00s | Spacus | When I first ran it clicking crashed the game. Running it as an admin worked for two levels but it crashed again when I grabbed a ? powerup. (I'm running Win 7.) It was fun though and I really wish I could see more than two levels. |
| Apr 29 04:45:00 | 2m 00s | Color Blind | No potato for me. It's a cute little game though! |
| Apr 29 04:52:00 | 7m 00s | Five | Didn't work for me. Just a pop-up msg box saying five, a yellow screen and then nothing. |
| Apr 29 04:57:00 | 5m 00s | Keep up the rhythm | Okay, this game is a *lot* of fun! Great job! |
| Apr 29 05:05:00 | 8m 00s | Centroid | I really like it. It's so simple and the mechanic is so obvious. Can't believe it's not already a more common thing. Great game. |
| Apr 29 05:17:00 | 12m 00s | Milton | I really like this game. It's a nice mixture between memorization and resource management and the time limit really gives it a nice sense of urgency. |
| Apr 29 05:26:00 | 9m 00s | Potato The Destroyer | Found your game from the Stencyl forums! I love the potato graphics. They're so adorable. |
| Apr 29 05:30:00 | 4m 00s | PotatoTap | Thank you for making a lights out style game where the levels are actually generated correctly! So many people make games like these with completely randomly generated and sometimes impossible levels. |
| Apr 29 05:34:00 | 4m 00s | Shoot the Apple | Love the combo system. Is it actually possible to one-shot all the apples in every level? |
| Apr 29 05:37:00 | 3m 00s | Boogie Woogie | Love the color change mechanic. |
| Apr 29 05:48:00 | 11m 00s | SHOOT CAR, SHIT PANTS | Once I realized that cars can't hurt me this became the Best Game EVER. |
| Apr 29 05:52:00 | 4m 00s | Soldier Chess: The Game | I have to say I have no idea what I was doing. I just clicked on pieces and they murdered other pieces and then everyone died. I think that's a very good metaphor on war. |
| Apr 29 05:58:00 | 6m 00s | Equalizer | That was really nice. Good learning curve and mechanics. |
| Apr 29 06:04:00 | 6m 00s | Coder | Oh hey, I think I recall seeing you talking about this game on Twitter. I'm glad you finished it because it's amazing. I definitely did not expect a "Tetris derivative" to be so much fun and refreshing. The mechanic, the story, the voiceover and the execution were all top notch. Definitely one of my favorites this LD48 so far! |
| Apr 29 06:08:00 | 4m 00s | Ellipse Madness | This game got me motion sick after about a minute even though I never get motion sick playing games, but besides that it's a really cool and refreshing game. Love the control mechanics, but I think it'd be nice to have a version where the screen is fixed as well because it's a shame that some people can't experience the game. |
| Apr 29 06:17:00 | 9m 00s | Folding | Definitely a great game! A little confusing at first but it was a good kind of confusion. |
| Apr 29 06:23:00 | 6m 00s | Killing Time | To be continued?!!!! Noooooo! |
| Apr 29 06:29:00 | 6m 00s | Bell Curve | I did not expect the ending. Well done! |
| Apr 29 06:50:00 | 21m 00s | AlterSpace | Nice little game. Love the music change when you press space! |
| Apr 29 06:53:00 | 3m 00s | Be The Wind | Great game! Nice, relaxing, also fun. Have an upvote! |
| Apr 29 07:41:00 | 48m 00s | Freedom | Can I have a hint on what to do after the door shows up? |
| Apr 29 07:44:00 | 3m 00s | A Bird's Love | Nice, simple one button game. I like it! |
| Apr 29 18:38:00 | 10h 54m | Embers | Really like the art and the concept! Nicely done! (PS Rarity is best pony.) |
| Apr 29 18:42:00 | 4m 00s | Minirena | I really loved this! Lots of fun, great, simple graphics/mechanics and it gets very challenging fast. Nice job! |
| Apr 29 18:53:00 | 11m 00s | Crystal Of Shadows | This game is excellent. I really love the way you twisted the tower defense genre. Definitely very creative and fits the theme well. |
| Apr 29 19:07:00 | 14m 00s | Less than Shadows | I like the idea and once I got the hang of it it was pretty fun, but I think the background is a little too distracting. Covered up some of the dialogue too. |
| Apr 29 19:13:00 | 6m 00s | DudeJump | The lack of checkpoints plus hard/timed platforming doesn't really work well together, but otherwise it's a pretty awesome game. |
| Apr 29 19:16:00 | 3m 00s | Join | Great game. Definitely a nice twist on the snake mechanics. Presentation is lovely too. |
| Apr 29 19:33:00 | 17m 00s | True treasure of Kartoffelschloss | Hint for people w/ wall jumping troubles: do a wall jump right before you hit the apex of your first jump. <br/> <br/>Of all the LD48 games where the core mechanic is "you lose something after every stage" (and there are so many of them!) yours I think is the best. The game is fun, it's excellently done and while all the other games ended with you losing your items/abilities I did not see Chapter 2 coming at all. The wall jump is a little awkward because your vertical momentum doesn't reset when you wall jump (you need to reset the character's vertical speed to 0 when you do a double/wall jump because otherwise if the character is falling you won't get much added height) but that's really the only complaint I have with the game. |
| Apr 29 19:38:00 | 5m 00s | Terrible Magical Artist | Found this on the Stencyl forums. Loved it! My art is so terrible and magical. |
| Apr 29 19:49:00 | 11m 00s | ... | Simple game. Dare I say, minimalist? The great level design makes it awesome. |
| Apr 29 20:03:00 | 14m 00s | Kill Tower | Simple, brilliant level design. Looks like what you wanted to do this time worked! |
| Apr 29 20:27:00 | 24m 00s | Lunar Rain | Great little game. It's definitely my favorite adventure game from this LD so far. |
| Apr 29 20:35:00 | 8m 00s | JuggleSim | Okay, this was a *lot* of fun. Really nice extension of the ball and paddle genre. I don't think you can actually knock a ball into the air with a ball you're holding in your hand when you're juggling for real but who cares because this was awesome. |
| Apr 29 20:40:00 | 5m 00s | Get Rid of Shit! | It's a nice little game, though I'd like a little more feedback on how much shit there can be before I lose. |
| Apr 29 20:57:00 | 17m 00s | BareBones | Think your privacy settings made it so that it wasn't accessible. =( |
| Apr 29 21:04:00 | 7m 00s | MiniSim | Really liked it. It felt less like a game and more like a city-painting toy, which was awesome. Kind of like SimCity on zen mode. |
| Apr 29 21:07:00 | 3m 00s | Distradiction | Cute little game. Just the perfect length. |
| Apr 29 21:25:00 | 18m 00s | Buried | Doesn't work when I double click it and when running in console/command prompt it says I can't find or load main class Buried.jar. =( |
| Apr 29 21:30:00 | 5m 00s | Uchu Zero | Found you on Twitter! I was glad that I found it on Twitter and not here, because it really added to the experience not knowing what the heck was going on and having to figure everything out myself. |
| Apr 29 21:46:00 | 16m 00s | Shape World | Is there an executable / web version? Or do we have to compiler the source? |
| Apr 29 21:49:00 | 3m 00s | Squares In Space | It's cute, and I loved the potatoes, but collusion with walls didn't seem to work properly sometimes and I got trapped in the bottom right corner on the third or fourth level. |
| Apr 29 22:03:00 | 14m 00s | Ruined | I really liked this game! The difficulty spikes around the 4 minute mark but overall I think the difficulty curve is pretty nice. One complaint is that I can't select multiple blocks as once. It looked like I was able to do it, but when I let go of the mouse nothing changes. Great game overall though. |
| Apr 29 22:29:00 | 26m 00s | CRAAASH | Love the dialogue, and the variety. Great game. |
| Apr 29 22:45:00 | 16m 00s | You Must Escape | This is one of those games that makes me happy we have Ludum Dare. |
| Apr 29 22:59:00 | 14m 00s | Lookin for Love <3 | It's pretty fun! My only complaint is that the two major mechanics (avoid potatoes and collect hearts) often clash because potatoes spawn at the same place where there is a row of hearts, so whether or not you go for the hearts you end up dying. |
| Apr 29 23:25:00 | 26m 00s | MiniCave | Very nicely done. I love how you completely change the way the game feels just by making the player character a triangle. Only complaint is that enemy respawns were instant, meaning that killing enemies (which is hard!) is not actually that rewarding in terms of survival. |
| Apr 29 23:38:00 | 13m 00s | Invertigo! | Great platformer. Gave me some Cave Story and Shift vibes, in a good way. |
| Apr 29 23:41:00 | 3m 00s | Coin Collector | Cute game. Simple, addictive, and probably the first time I've seen platforms all moving diagonally on a screen at once. =) |
| Apr 29 23:43:00 | 2m 00s | Host | Download link? |
| Apr 29 23:54:00 | 11m 00s | Fantasy RPG #58 | I think you have a wonderful RPG parody here. Throughout the demon king battle I was like "man I hope he put a final form and cheesy dialogue in there!" and I was not disappointed. Bravo! |
| Apr 30 00:03:00 | 9m 00s | MBlok | Love how you took a simple formula but added so much new stuff and polish to it that it feels like a completely new game. I hope you'll keep working on this and make more levels etc. |
| Apr 30 00:12:00 | 9m 00s | Monoboy | Love the death screens; they're beautiful. |
| Apr 30 01:09:00 | 57m 00s | Skyscraper Kingdoms | Oh my gosh it's like a mini SimTower. Downloading it now! |
| Apr 30 01:33:00 | 24m 00s | Gods Will Be Watching | This game is hard, but fair and very, very fun. Great job! |
| Apr 30 01:55:00 | 22m 00s | (Follow the) Line | This is amazing. Love how just tilting the game a little makes the visual presentation so refreshing. |
| Apr 30 02:00:00 | 5m 00s | Slice | The grid movement took a little getting used to but once that's out of the way it's a cool little shooter. Love the arena. |
| Apr 30 02:14:00 | 14m 00s | Shrink Shift | Nice take on the block pushing game! |
| Apr 30 02:30:00 | 16m 00s | Mobius | Read nice take / combination on the autorunning / platforming genres. Nicely done! |
| Apr 30 02:35:00 | 5m 00s | Budget Squad | Only 3090. I am bad at combos. |
| Apr 30 06:14:00 | 3h 39m | Polymorph | I have to admit, at first I thought "okay so it's a Night Skies clone with Bastion-style voiceovers". But then I started changing into a square, and it was a crazy mix between precision platforming and Sonic-style high momentum rolling. The final level really surprised me and put another lovely twist on it, and the voiceover really added to the mood. It's a really cool game, despite some hiccups like the vertical screen transitions being sudden and choppy, and I hope that you guys will be able to take this concept further post-jam. |
| Apr 30 06:19:00 | 5m 00s | Trippin' The Crowd | Nice "one button" game! I love the scoring system and how it incorporates simplified versions of ideas like calculated and acceptable losses. |
| Apr 30 20:25:00 | 14h 06m | Towers of Rage | Great game! I love how you guys were able to convey so much gruesome violence with by just moving one or two pixels on three pixel characters. Also, the diversity of enemy visuals on just changing the colors of three pixels? Brilliant! |
| Apr 30 20:31:00 | 6m 00s | Please Ignore The Dancing Llama | Brilliant game! Loved the different modes and how the difficulty gradually went up. By the way I found your game through the IndieGames.com blog. =) |
| Apr 30 23:28:00 | 2h 57m | Arco | I really like this game! But then again I'm biased when it comes to simple rhythm games where you go around in a circle. =) Relaxing, endless, and I love the subtle cues you put in in terms of the speed of the sweeping arm when a level's about to start. I wish there was some audio feedback for pressing space though! |
| May 1 06:01:00 | 6h 33m | Minimalism | Really liked this game. Loved the lock/key mechanics and the balance of firepower between different shapes. Hope you guys take this further with more powers / varied level designs too. |
| May 1 06:08:00 | 7m 00s | Moonshine | I can't say I "get it", but I definitely really like what you guys tried to create here. |
| May 1 06:20:00 | 12m 00s | Battery | Really loved the "keep playing to keep playing" idea, and I think you hit the Gameboy style graphics right on the head. Was a little sad the RESET button didn't do anything though. |
| May 1 06:24:00 | 4m 00s | BASHLAND - Breakout Mario Mashup | Really relaxing game, though I had trouble getting into it at first since I wasn't sure if I should destroy everything or keep moving. Once I let go of the "must do perfect run" mentality though it worked quite well. |
| May 1 06:27:00 | 3m 00s | Staring Contest | Turns out it's really hard to laugh and not blink at the same time. |
| May 1 07:19:00 | 52m 00s | Drug Hunt | I don't know if this is what being on drugs is like so I can't speak to the realism in this game, but as a collection of timing / minigames it's superb. It's just so obvious when you should press space! Especially when potato appears. |
| May 1 07:29:00 | 10m 00s | Nega-girl | I think it was actually easier without the threat detector, and the magboots and double jump armor weren't really that useful either. Maybe it was because I got better at the game as I played? |
| May 1 22:19:00 | 14h 50m | PixelAdventure | Great first programming project! It's definitely fun and more challenigng than expected! |
| May 1 22:20:00 | 1m 00s | GrowPotato | But I thought potatoes grew from booze! |
| May 1 23:27:00 | 1h 07m | Dragon Drop | Brilliant. What looks like a crappy solitaire rip off is actually an ingenious puzzle game wrapped in nostalgia. Nicely done! |
| May 2 04:59:00 | 5h 32m | Minimal Shootage | Really cool particle effects; definitely added the the minimal setting. |
| May 2 05:08:00 | 9m 00s | NoBility | The text was moving way too slowly, but other than that it's a solid little platformer. |
| May 2 05:16:00 | 8m 00s | A Game of Numbers | Great level design, and definitely a fun and challenging twist on the lock and key puzzle genre. Well done! |
| May 2 05:37:00 | 21m 00s | Potato Dungeon | This is a really solid game. The mechanics are simple but fresh, and the way the double jumping and the horse add to the game are simply brilliant. Usually double jumping is really just a key for a lock, but the way you implemented combat means that it's an extra, risky tactical option. With the horse it also opens up things like flanking and strategy. Really well done! My only complaint is that the key opening the door in stages where you kill all enemies is kind of redundant, and sometimes breaks the flow by making you backtrack to get it. But I can also see how it's easier to do that programming-wise. |
| May 2 19:43:00 | 14h 06m | Dungeon Struggle | I really like the way you implemented the spinning weapons. The fact that you don't take damage from simple collusion with enemies gives it a lot more depth. |
| May 2 19:46:00 | 3m 00s | Chehc | Really reminiscent of some old edutainment games. Pretty cool. Only complaint is that the game is way too tall and it's impossible to see the full GUI normally. |
| May 2 19:53:00 | 7m 00s | Brutaliz'Art LD26 | Absolutely hilarious, unexpected and wonderful. |
| May 2 21:28:00 | 1h 35m | Funtendoid W.E.T. | So much wholesome fun! I almost forgot about the fictional mutant cat army murdering everything I love and cherish outside my barricaded doors! |
| May 3 06:27:00 | 8h 59m | Game of Rows | Cute game! Started out thinking it would be very easy, but I was definitely wrong... |
| May 3 06:32:00 | 5m 00s | Feint Signal | Great game! Simple, polished, challenging an gorgeous graphics. Loved it. |
| May 3 06:37:00 | 5m 00s | Circles | Great game! Can't wait to see where you take it after compo. One thing that would help, I think, is to introduce new mechanics more slowly once you have more levels. It did get a little confusing playing with new mechanics without really fully understanding older ones yet. |
| May 3 06:44:00 | 7m 00s | Zip | The first thing that really impressed me was the level change effects. But then as I got more into the game the level design really stood out too. I think of all the "change colors / things you can pass through" games I've played this LD yours is definitely the best. |
| May 3 06:48:00 | 4m 00s | Kriok | Love the level design! |
| May 4 08:34:00 | 25h 46m | Hurdles | It was a little frustrating seeing my super awesome jumpers get stumped by a blue hurdle, but overall this is a great and really innovation game! |
| May 4 08:38:00 | 4m 00s | Dynamite Knight | Really liked the sudden switch in mode. Cute lil' game. =) |
| May 8 03:22:00 | 90h 44m | Tundra King | I like the feel of the game, but having the inventory and the tree cutting and stuff really broke the minimalism mood, especially since they don't seem necessary for the completion of the game. |
| May 8 03:53:00 | 31m 00s | Geneva Convection | Okay. Best game in jam, hands down. |
| May 8 04:09:00 | 16m 00s | Tzatzauberer | Really liked it! The only problem is that it was impossible for me to get past a Tier 3 gatekeeper legion because I already did everything but I still wasn't strong enough for it and had no gold left. I think a way to grind or a better level generation algorithm would make this game even better. |
| May 9 01:55:00 | 21h 46m | Dieter Rams Memory | Simple game, but a really refreshing take on the concept. |
| May 9 06:51:00 | 4h 56m | My Mini Castle | Really cute game! It's harder than it looks, which is wonderful. With a little upgrade system I can imagine it being the next popular defense-type game! |
| May 10 00:41:00 | 17h 50m | Special client | I don't know what is going on but it reminds me of old Geocities web sites. Also adorable cats. Can't write coherent sentence your game destroyed my higher brain functions. Meow. |
| May 15 01:41:00 | 121h 00m | A Simple Circle | Really nice game. Great level design! |
| May 18 07:34:00 | 77h 53m | U | Really fun game! I like the post-compo version too; glad you're continuing to develop it. |
| May 21 02:44:00 | 67h 10m | How Can You Even Tell If I'm Just Fucking With You At This Point | I just want to say I love your icon so much. <3 |
