|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 16 13:27:00 | Shine | Very well done. Quite a complete game for 48 man-hours of work. The music is really catchy. :) <br/>My only criticism: The orb gameplay isn't really all that fun. Still a cool experience, after all. | |
| Dec 16 13:35:00 | 8m 00s | Hrytz's Sunday | Oh wow. My eyes... funny idea though, and it made me laugh quite a bit (even though I'm not too sure if that's intentional). :D |
| Dec 16 13:47:00 | 12m 00s | Distance | Absolutely love it! Audio/Atmosphere are amazing, the gameplay is simple but engaging. And the text messages were very nice as well. Great job. :) |
| Dec 16 13:54:00 | 7m 00s | Sugar Rush | Haha, nice one. I quite like the idea, and it was fun to play. As background_nose said, kind of frustrating in a good way. |
| Dec 16 14:07:00 | 13m 00s | Apocalypse One | Very well done, I liked the relative depth to the gameplay and the level design. Sadly I wasn't able to finish it - the third/Thomas level was too hard for me. :) |
| Dec 16 14:20:00 | 13m 00s | Make it count! | Brilliant! And I thought the difficulty was just right. Really beautiful game (in general, not visually - the characters are nice, but the rest could be a little more detailled/varied). Challenging and highly motivating gameplay. I basically ignored the guns most of the time and tried to backstab everybody. One of the very few games that get 5 fun stars from me. :) |
| Dec 16 16:26:00 | 2h 06m | Jump Chip | Very nice game. Quite challenging, but mostly fair and motivating. I guess it's a lot easier to play it with 2 people, but still I got relatively far I think. Very fun, and the visual style is great. And you incorporated the theme rather well. :) |
| Dec 16 17:44:00 | 1h 18m | Cuborg | Great graphics and audio. I like how the walls/building look as if they were made out of chocolate. :P <br/>The controls aren't my cup of tea though, I kept running into walls and had to walk backwards to get away, as if I was controlling a car. |
| Dec 16 17:53:00 | 9m 00s | The hunter | Very nice concept! Actually I worked on something somewhat similar for Asylum Jam a few months ago. However, it didn't quite have such a unique style. The small pieces of texts appearing in the level especially are a very nice touch. |
| Dec 16 17:59:00 | 6m 00s | A Rose in the Rain | Unfortunately, I don't really get it (unless that's kind of the point?). What I can say though is that I do like the art style, sound and atmosphere. Unique and somewhat mesmerizing. |
| Dec 17 10:38:00 | 16h 39m | One Bullet, One Chance | Interesting style and concept. It just lacked a little feedback, I never knew if I hit somebody, and if not, why. Because I always died without defeating any of the bandits. =/ |
| Dec 17 10:53:00 | 15m 00s | One Pickup One Spell - LD28 | Nice game, very fun to play. The AI seems fine, and I like that there are so many different kinds of bullets with unique effects. If it wasn't for the "rough" art design (although the lighting thing is a nice touch), this would surely be one of my favorites so far. This way it's just good. ;) <br/>Congrats on your first entry! |
| Dec 17 11:12:00 | 19m 00s | Nobag | Having to install the game is kind of a let down.. especially when the whole installer is in French. :P <br/>But judging from the screenshots, it does look very nice. I really like the art style. |
| Dec 17 11:57:00 | 45m 00s | Yogo Boom | Now that was fun. Loved the "zombies on ice" level and the way the cars pushed away those enemies, and the controls felt very good as well. The boomerang mechanics are kind of funny, but a at times a little easy to exploit (sort of letting the boomerang fly in a small circle while hiding behind it). Having an upgrade menu was a great idea to increase motivation, and it seemed to make sense and was easy to understand. Overall, great work. :) |
| Dec 17 12:01:00 | 4m 00s | YOGO swat member | Unfortunately, running the exe doesn't do anything on my computer. Windows (7) seems to be loading something for a few seconds, but no window or process opens. |
| Dec 17 12:10:00 | 9m 00s | Boomerang Boy | Probably the best game I've played so far. Very fun and well polished. The wall climbing felt smooth and the art style is really cool. 5/5, Thanks for sharing! |
| Dec 17 12:17:00 | 7m 00s | Agent Idaho | Funny game, is the car driving meant to be that difficult? :D It's as if you're completely drunk, or driving on ice or something. <br/>Anyway, really well done, I like the visual style a lot, especially those collapsing buildings. |
| Dec 17 12:37:00 | 20m 00s | Unibrow | Very cool concept and execution. Found it a little too long, but other than that I was quite satisfied with the game and the amount of different gameplay elements you managed to implement. |
| Dec 17 13:08:00 | 31m 00s | YOGO PATH | Great game. High ratings from me on everything except humor and theme. Definitely one of the best games I've played for this Ludum Dare and a great example of what can be achieved in such a short time frame. :) |
| Dec 17 17:55:00 | 4h 47m | Bazooka guy | Fun and original. A good start to something bigger, I'd say. ;) |
| Dec 17 18:00:00 | 5m 00s | boom | Quite original and one of the best interpretations of the theme I've seen so far. The only thing I'm not too happy about are the controls (keyboard controls at least) and that there's only that one (even asymmetrical! :O) map. Other than that - very well done! |
| Dec 17 18:13:00 | 13m 00s | The Bridge | As the others said - fun game, and I like the lighting as well. Sound/music would be a nice addition, but other than that the game got everything it needs. |
| Dec 17 18:21:00 | 8m 00s | Ghost Run | Oh no, the thing got me! I thought there was no actual danger and it was all just for the atmosphere. :D Anyway, very well done. I particularly liked the level design and how there were certain "landmarks", such as the pool of blood and the different barricades. Made the exploration relatively worthwhile. |
| Dec 17 18:28:00 | 7m 00s | P.O.W. Rescue | Wow, I'm rather impressed by the visuals. Must have been quite some work to create those sprites. <br/>The gameplay is nice as well, although it was a bit unintuitive that you can jump over the spikey ground things, while the enemies die instantly. |
| Dec 17 18:36:00 | 8m 00s | Surface Climber | Man, that music... :D <br/>And yes, I took the hat too, of course. And I had the same problem as ocarina, and only could avoid dying at that point on my second attempt using the extra life instead of the beautiful hat (what a shame). Is there an actual ending? I just found two secrets. <br/>The ceiling climbing thing was an interesting idea btw - and would almost assume it was originally a bug but you decided to make a feature out of it. Right?! :P |
| Dec 17 18:47:00 | 11m 00s | Only One | Freedom! Hehe, but I only made it due to the jumping bug. Quite a long level actually, and the collision IS horrible. :P But you nailed the atmosphere, and the "lighting" and torch effect are not bad. |
| Dec 17 21:28:00 | 2h 41m | Save the Bullet for Later | Pew, those controls... I surely died 50 times in the second to last room before finally reaching the end. <br/>But other than that - pretty good. Especially the music and overall mood you set up with those signs. And a good interpretation of the theme. Kind of tragical. |
| Dec 17 21:58:00 | 30m 00s | Kuerbisroboter | Cool game, kind of addictive. Does the Kürbisroboter actually do anything? Can you give him commands or something? I didn't quite figure out what he's there for. <br/>And I needed to select the lowest difficulty setting to win the game, because I just never got enough pumpkins due to the rare occurence of seeds. Maybe I did something wrong, I guess. Also, what are the potatoes for? And can you spend the money on anything other than new plantations? <br/>More questions than feedback, sorry about that. :> |
| Dec 19 09:47:00 | 35h 49m | You Only Get One Direction | Link works now, but the game doesn't run on my Windows 7 system. At first I needed to download MSVCP120.dll, but now it just throws a "application could not be started" kind of error when trying to run the exe. :/ <br/>The "you can only move in one direction" premise sounds interesting though, I'd really like to see where you went with it. So I'll try to run it on another machine later. |
| Dec 19 15:01:00 | 5h 14m | Panacea | Got a combo of 913. Fun little game, and indeed quite addicting. It's cool how the gameplay shifts once the screen fills with more dots and everything around you starts to explode by itself. Visual style and music are cool as well. A very enjoyable experience overall. :) |
| Dec 19 15:12:00 | 11m 00s | Alone/Awake | Something different, finally, and an interesting read. <br/>Regarding the "Basically you could say that I took on a challenge I could not muster" thing - I think that's just part of the deal. Sometimes those 48h projects work out great, but often we realize at some point that it doesn't quite work out the way we imagined. Despite the final product not being exactly what you hoped it to be, most people here, myself included, seem to enjoy it nonetheless. :) |
| Dec 19 15:22:00 | 10m 00s | One Bullet | So, you created that perfect copy of the wilhelm scream within your 48 hours? :P <br/>Fun game, sadly I wasn't able to finish it. Got stuck in, I don't know, Level 5 or something (didn't count them). Really unforgiving enemies, but that makes finishing a level even more rewarding. However, I had to turn off the sound after dying approximately 50 times in a row. :D |
| Dec 19 15:33:00 | 11m 00s | You only have one quantum hyperdimensional nuclear fusion powered neuro-AI cube...and button | Very original approach and interesting interpretation of the theme. It worked better than I expected, and the puzzles were nice. |
| Dec 19 18:25:00 | 2h 52m | Atop A Dark Mountain | Cool game, somewhat similar to the one I made.. but different. :D Nice art style and atmosphere, and the voice acting really made it rather special. I didn't make it to the dragon though, unfortunately. Always died in round ~5 or so, and lost motivation to replay the first few rounds each time after a while. :/ |
| Dec 19 18:51:00 | 26m 00s | Clicken | Awww man... a mixture of being proud of myself for having won the game, and being ashamed of myself for having spent so much time clicking on virtual chicken. :D |
| Dec 19 18:54:00 | 3m 00s | Game of One | Wow, just... wow. <br/> <br/>:D |
| Dec 19 21:08:00 | 2h 14m | Rude Bear Resurrection | That's just amazing. What a cool idea, seriously! I didn't get very far, but I'll surely come back sooner or later to finish the job. :D |
| Dec 20 09:46:00 | 12h 38m | The End of Days | Solid shooter. Controls and shooting feel quite good and the main menu is rather pretty. :) |
| Dec 20 09:53:00 | 7m 00s | You Only Get One Ball | Woohoo, 10:2 for me. Funny game. Was it a deliberate choice to make the player faster than the enemy when running diagonally? |
| Dec 20 11:19:00 | 1h 26m | Golf Quest | Very cool idea. I didn't think it was frustrating at all, actually very fun to play, even if a little slow paced. Maybe it would be cool to have a third staff of some kind, just for variety. |
| Dec 20 11:34:00 | 15m 00s | Tank Shooter | A good start. With a bit more polishing, a little faster gameplay (although that's probably a matter of taste) and better sound and visuals it could become a really cool and addictive game. Having the upgrade menu in there certainly was a good idea. :) |
| Dec 20 11:41:00 | 7m 00s | One Last Hack | That music is just amazing. Great job guys. :D |
| Dec 20 11:44:00 | 3m 00s | The Last Match | I really like the "one match" idea, and the lighting effects are pretty cool. The game would DEFINITELY profit from some ambient music though. And yes, the collision is a little annoying.. :) |
| Dec 20 11:57:00 | 13m 00s | Monorail | Nice visuals and mood. The gameplay is a little too minimalistic if you ask me, but it works well and seems very polished. |
| Dec 20 12:05:00 | 8m 00s | At The Last Minute | A lot of potential here, but rather frustrating since it's in window mode and the mouse isn't locked, hence I accidentally leave the window every few seconds. Also, next time without installer please. :P <br/>But other than that it's really fantastic. Seems like a game with a few weeks of work put into. Nice art style and gameplay for sure! |
| Dec 20 12:12:00 | 7m 00s | Open Forest | Very interesting concept, but it would have been nice if the game explained how to kill a monster. And I never saw a hut either. =/ <br/>But I got to say, I quite like the visual style of the game. |
| Dec 20 13:59:00 | 1h 47m | ONE COLOR | Well done, challenging and yet sort of relaxing. :) |
| Dec 20 14:08:00 | 9m 00s | Stabby game | The style and smoothness really seem to be the strong points of the game. Considering all the games with really bad collision handling around here (not meaning to offend anybody.. :P) this was a real pleasure. <br/>I encountered low FPS rates (~20) in some rooms as well, you should work on that if you want to use the same framework for later projects, but other than that it makes a great first impression. |
| Dec 20 14:13:00 | 5m 00s | Button"Space" | Nice one. As lucars83 put it, not particularly fun, but certainly interesting and well executed. Feels quite polished and the visual style is excellent. |
| Dec 20 17:08:00 | 2h 55m | One Coffin | Even after reading the tutorial and the description above I have no idea how to kill a zombie... :/ Restarted the game about 20 times and tried several things, but nothing seemed to work. Also, I needed to struggle with the windows task manager for quite a while to end the game, since there was no option for that and neither ALT-F4 nor telling the OS to close the window had any effect. <br/>However, it's pretty clear that the visuals and audio are just amazing, and the gameplay indeed seems very well thought out and innovative. |
| Dec 20 17:58:00 | 50m 00s | One Turn | Get rid of those bugs, work a little on the balancing, build some actual levels and you'll have a wonderful (and addictive) little game. I had some fun with this - despite the bugs kind of destroying the experience. It already has this "just one more level" thing and it's fun to plan your strategy. <br/>If you ask me, you should definitely put some more work into it, the potential is surely there! |
| Dec 20 18:29:00 | 31m 00s | One Day Fly | Very well done. Needed some time to finish it (obviously), but it was rather interesting to say the least. Also very nice graphics you got there, and I liked the humor a lot. |
| Dec 20 18:41:00 | 12m 00s | Cmdr. Yogo | Funny idea and good execution. The gameplay is very satisfying, even though you're just watching 90% of the time. You should possibly have considered using some kind of grass texture instead of that aggressive light green though.. :) |
| Dec 21 12:01:00 | 17h 20m | Caverns of the Curse of Greed | Some music would have been nice, and I think the controls could be improved a little, e.g. that pressing a number key "selects" a weapon and shows the hint (instead of pressing Shift) and there's an extra action key to use the selected weapon. At least I personally would probably prefer that scheme. <br/>However, the game works really well nonetheless, the level design is pretty good and I was surprised by the variety of tools you get. I'm currently stuck in level ~6 or so, the first one with a lot of spikes, where you get the crate for the first time. I assume I'm relatively close to the solution, but couln't make it back from the jewel. :/ |
| Dec 21 12:19:00 | 18m 00s | First Hour Superpower | Made it to the end using double jump. Very cool concept and well executed. I found it a little bit too frustrating at times, but that can easily happen in a 48 hour project and is not that big of a deal. Viuals and Audio are relatively basic bust seem just right for the game - maybe a dark/subtle background of some kind would have improved the game's appeal though. <br/>I like the original way of approaching the theme and feel that this is definitely one of the better games of this LD. The tutorial level was very nice as well, and it's cool that is uses a different tileset than the actual game. Great work overall! |
| Dec 21 12:42:00 | 23m 00s | --- | Ha, nice one. Very creative. :) |
| Dec 21 13:22:00 | 40m 00s | Don't forget your old shipmate | Nice graphics and audio and the parrot surely is a nice touch. Unfortunately the game seems way too difficult for me.. :( |
| Dec 21 13:36:00 | 14m 00s | Snowball Carnage | What a nice game! So simple yet so fun. Really well done. :) A snow falling effect would have been nice, but other than that there's nothing I'd change. I just spent at least 20 minutes with it and had a lot of fun, great work! |
| Dec 21 19:26:00 | 5h 50m | The Last Draw | Very well done, definitely one of the better "duel games" I've played. Seems very polished and I love the style. <br/>I could only test it alone so far, but will make sure to play it with a friend tomorrow (hopefully). As of yet I can only imagine how fun it must be. ;) |
| Dec 21 20:44:00 | 1h 18m | You can become only one!!1 | I see, I have to be an integer to pass, huh? That's what I call discrimination of floating point numbers! <br/>But seriously, very cool concept and pretty well done for 24 hours. Assuming you'd have had another 24 to add better visuals and more levels, this would surely be among the top games from this LD. This way it's a very rough but promising prototype with quite some potential. :) <br/>(But seriously, you really could have picked other colors... black, green, pink and light blue?! :D) |
| Dec 21 21:58:00 | 1h 14m | Fujo | Some music and sound effects would really help the feel of the game. Also, I didn't quite understand the spells. They didn't seem to affect anything in the game, at least I didn't notice any changes after using them. And I always died from hunger, since I didn't find enough to eat. :( <br/>Otherwise quite a cool game, I especially like the art style. And the level generation seems to be solid to say the least. |
| Dec 21 22:04:00 | 6m 00s | Casual Friday | I might just be too stupid.. but after ~10 tries I still couldn't beat a single level, even after discovering that you could block attacks. =/ <br/>What I can say though is that the visuals are very sweet. Absolutely lovely characters. |
| Dec 21 22:17:00 | 13m 00s | One Conversation | Well, yes, kinda cute. :D |
| Dec 28 15:07:00 | 160h 50m | Juggle | Woah.. too much for my brain. I kept confusing WASD and the arrow keys and ended up falling from the platform without any actual danger. <br/>Nice entry overall, quite innovative gameplay and I like what you did with the three different levels. The menu was kind of cool as well. |
| Dec 28 15:17:00 | 10m 00s | Penguins Gone Mad | Yay, penguins! Nice visuals and the game is pretty fun. The only thing bothering me a little were the controls - I didn't quite get why you could move your character in the first place since it didn't really made a difference, and the way the mouse holding affects the way the arrow is shot is really hard to control. <br/>The flying penguins were a positive surprise though. Good work! |
| Dec 28 17:48:00 | 2h 31m | Luminess | Doesn't run on my system unfortunately (Windows 7, it just tells me the exe file could not be executed correctly instantly after trying to start it), but judging from the video it looks very good. Great effects, the gameplay seems solid to say the least and the level design is just right. |
| Dec 28 18:00:00 | 12m 00s | One Glimpse of Freedom | Very atmospheric, and good interpretation of the theme. Visuals are simple but appealing, same goes for the sound. <br/>Unfortunately there seemed to be game over kind of thing after dying a few times, so I wasn't able to finish it. But judging from the first few levels (until the one with a lot of open space and three rats - don't know how much is yet to come afterwards), the level design is pretty neat as well. Simple and always focused on a few main obstacles - just what you need for such a game. Well done. :) |
| Dec 28 20:00:00 | 2h 00m | ArenaFighterz Game | I really like the visual diversity of the game (although I didn't get further than level 2 :/), and the music is quite cool. But as many people here I found the physics a little frustrating unfortunately. FPS was around 20 for me, so not ideal but still playable. |
| Dec 28 20:10:00 | 10m 00s | UNO | Definitely not bad for your first game, far from it. It actually plays quite well - especially regarding physics, collision and controls, I've seen a lot worse around here. Wise choice of yours to stick with a relatively simple concept which is suitable for a 48h compo. Keep it up, participate in more game jams in the future and within a year you'll be creating great experiences. :) <br/>(As a sidenote, you may want to visit compohub.net for an overview of game jams around the world) |
| Dec 28 21:15:00 | 1h 05m | Animalympics | Funny idea. And what an ending. Poor guys. |
| Dec 29 13:41:00 | 16h 26m | Wraith | Very tense.. probably the best use of sound I've encountered so far. Great work! |
| Dec 29 13:53:00 | 12m 00s | You Only Get One | The visuals really stand out. Good job with all the effects and textures. However, the controls are not that great - it feels as if not the gameplay itself, but rather the controls are the main challenge here, i.e. rotating the view and picking the right tool. <br/>I think it would be more intuitive and allow for more fluent gameplay if the mouse was hidden and mouse movements would always lead to a changed view (not only when you click), and you could select tools using the number keys. <br/>Also I think the stages could have been a bit shorter, since it got relatively repetitive. Other than that, good job though. It's nice to see the planet evolve over time. |
| Dec 29 14:00:00 | 7m 00s | One Jump | Definitely a cool idea. The last level was a little difficult though, and I basically skipped the 3rd one by falling down and doing an "air jump" - not sure if that was intended, but it's good that it's possible since succeeding by kind of breaking the rules is always satisfying. :P |
| Dec 29 17:35:00 | 3h 35m | the Pit | I believe without the bugs, and a bit more work on the level generation (the levels *look* pretty good and not too generic, but they don't go too well with the gameplay), this could be a really cool game. Graphics and music are already very nice. |
| Jan 4 17:41:00 | 144h 06m | The Turmeric Jam Jar's Only Game. | Really creepy. Had a few problems with the controls, but graphics and atmosphere were great nonetheless. |
| Jan 4 17:45:00 | 4m 00s | No double jump :( | Nice idea and good selection of gameplay elements. However, I think you overdid it a bit with the bullets.. :) |
| Jan 4 17:51:00 | 6m 00s | Ninja Theif | A decent start, but it could really use some sound effects, and slightly more interesting graphcis to make it more engaging. And as Zenkerdus said, everything should be faster. |
| Jan 4 18:10:00 | 19m 00s | Fort Meow | Great game, very fun and charming. Unfortunately it seems to be a pretty decent strategy to spam the blue square-shaped pillows everywhere, though. I didn't even use any of the other things later in the game.. :) |
| Jan 4 18:14:00 | 4m 00s | Last Minute Christmas Chopping | Very nice graphics. |
| Jan 4 19:37:00 | 1h 23m | Casting Call | Ha, very nice. :) Cool idea, and I really like the programmer art. :D |
| Jan 4 20:46:00 | 1h 09m | You Only Get 1 | I reallly like the idea and had a bit of fun with it. However, the impossible equation was truly evil.. I spent at least 10 minutes trying to figure it out. :( <br/>And a few answers don't make much sense (to me), such as the 1111811 thing and the (5+5)*1010 = 90 equation. But other than that, well done! |
| Jan 4 22:31:00 | 1h 45m | Channel | Ha, great, well done. Satirical indeed. :D |
