| Apr 29 02:13:00 | I like big BOMBS! | The idea is pretty cool, I dug it (get it?). I wish I had more of an idea what I was doing, though. Also, I find the WASD+Space controls hard to use, but that's just me. I did, however, play Baby Got Back while playing it, just to add a soundtrack! | |
| Apr 29 02:19:00 | 6m 00s | Snack on the fly | I managed to get 150 once I figured out the controls... shows what I get for not paying attention. The mood is quite nice. I played The Mariner's Revenge Song while playing this one to add a soundtrack. |
| Apr 29 02:23:00 | 4m 00s | Dead Dead Resurrection | The graphics and music are quite nice and it played well enough, though I wish there were powerups or something. One thing, the controls seemed to have only one direction at a time, like, up or right or whatever, which seems pretty awkward for a twin stick shooter. |
| Apr 29 02:31:00 | 8m 00s | Virus LD48 | I know it's supposed to be a virus, but I visualized it as rolling around in stacks of Vienna sausages. Definitely feels like a toy that could be made into a game and I feel like it could be pretty fun if it was. |
| Apr 29 02:43:00 | 12m 00s | Down | You know, I'm a big fan of wandering through caves, but there may have been a bit TOO much wandering through caves. I think some of the middle could've been cut. I guess I made it to an end, though I don't know if it was the right one? The atmosphere was quite nice and the music was great. |
| Apr 29 02:46:00 | 3m 00s | The Puddle | Oddly frightening? I really like the concept. |
| Apr 29 02:58:00 | 12m 00s | Under Warranty | Quite pretty and I really like the idea, but I got stuck without realizing that that it wasn't quite finished. I would love to see it expanded into a full game. |
| Apr 29 03:07:00 | 9m 00s | Sepsis | I totally blasted like a million evil cucumbers. Looks, sounds, and plays pretty well. |
| Apr 29 03:10:00 | 3m 00s | Kyle the Caiman in: Kyle's Dreamland | Hard to explain, but it sort of reminds me of Wonder Boy in Monster Land? Cartoony graphics were quite nice. Wish there had been more done with the whole sleep mechanic. |
| Apr 29 03:12:00 | 2m 00s | Loose | I couldn't get it to work... The mouse controls worked, but the keyboard ones didn't. Too bad, it looked quite pretty. |
| Apr 29 03:19:00 | 7m 00s | Ramen Master | That's quite a title screen you've got! I get that the whole physicsness of it is the point, and it could be cool, but I found it more annoying than funny. I had a hard time knowing what my hand would grab. I think it'd work better if you could sort of fling things around with a flick, that way you could 'dig' through your ingredients and just toss the right ones in. I think that could actually make it into a fun mobile game. |
| Apr 29 03:25:00 | 6m 00s | Evolve | Gorgeous graphics, moody music. However, I got frustrated after a while. The problem I had was that you have so much momentum that whenever I thought I was making progress, I'd fling myself into an enemy that was just offscreen before I had more time to react. Aquaria is one of my favorite games ever and this looks great, just wish I could finish it. |
| Apr 29 03:38:00 | 13m 00s | Color Graphics Adventure | Cool concept, and the mechanics actually work. I'm terrible at card games, but I understood this one. And, it goes without saying, the graphics are excellent. I'd play a full version of this one. |
| Apr 29 03:53:00 | 15m 00s | From Below | Pretty cool, I had a lot of fun playing it. The mood works well and the four-tentacle thing was cool. Snatching torpedoes and such. |
| Apr 29 04:00:00 | 7m 00s | Flash's Cash | The graphics look simple, but they're quite nicely animated and the music was good as well. The actual mechanics work quite well and I thought it was fun to play. Very nice. |
| Apr 29 04:10:00 | 10m 00s | Surfin' Hot | I got a high score of 38850! Quite fun. As infinite runners (or, you know, surfers) go, it feels pretty unique. I like that it mixes up the game types. I wish there had been more mines to do tricks off and that the general difficulty was a bit higher, but I'm a masochist that way. The music was excellent. |
| Apr 29 04:21:00 | 11m 00s | Xen'Juru Adventure | The weird floaty low-gravity gameplay is surprisingly addictive. The graphics work well to set the mood, too. I did get stuck after finding a space melon or something. Pretty cool. |
| Apr 29 05:45:00 | 1h 24m | Beneath the Surface... Adventure | I like some of the concepts, like the time changing aspects and such, and it looks quite nice, but I still found it rather frustrating. In level 2, I was on some pillars, and then they went up and I thought I was done, but apparently I died? I feel like I was lacking feedback in what I did, whether something was dangerous or helpful. That's partially the point, I realize, but still. I think it's a solid effort, though. |
| Apr 29 05:50:00 | 5m 00s | SUNK | Yeesh, that was grim. Looks and sounds good, but more than that, it 'feels' nice. Well, until you inevitably drown, I suppose. |
| Apr 29 05:55:00 | 5m 00s | Worm Simulator 2012 | So... it's like a metaphor for life? Eat and poop until eventually you die. Pretty bleak. Congrats on finishing, though. I bet you could build this into a puzzle game or even a worm RPG. Think about it. |
| Apr 30 02:56:00 | 21h 01m | Digging up Daisy | Lovely aesthetic and surprisingly relaxing for a game about digging up corpses. I wish there was more to 'do' with the drill, I felt I was sort of randomly driving around hoping to hit the right thing, but still quite nice. |
| Apr 30 03:03:00 | 7m 00s | Digger Grave | Pretty cool. A few things that would probably improve it: A bit more friction/drag on movement, so it's less slidey, a reason not to just dig through everything, and more of a general challenge/goal. I mean, hey, I know it's 48 hours! Nice music as well! |
| Apr 30 03:08:00 | 5m 00s | Escape the Caves | Congrats on your first LD! The shaking really bugged me, unfortunately. I could't see the spikes, either, which made it pretty frustrating. The main thing that could've improved it was more of an indication on where I should go. I found it hard to deal with navigating a maze under a time limit and doing platforming. Still, it's a solid first entry. |
| Apr 30 03:14:00 | 6m 00s | Darkness Shines Through | I have a hard time with stealth games, so I ended up giving up, unfortunately. There's a ton of content here, though, for a jam game, and music as well. Pretty cool. People in that town must have some serious jumpin' muscles to get to their doors! |
| Apr 30 03:17:00 | 3m 00s | Mr. Fluffykin's Great Sorting Adventure (AKA where your internet comes from) | Very nice aesthetic. Eventually, I just stopped worrying about trying to sort things and ran around with a can of spam watching his eyebrows wiggle. |
| Apr 30 03:23:00 | 6m 00s | Ants at War | First, those graphics are amazing. The music is good, too. However... you managed to combine two of my worst genres, so I have no idea what I was doing. Still, definitely something to expand on, post-jam. Very cool. |
| Apr 30 03:28:00 | 5m 00s | Space Wizard | Madness! |
| May 2 02:53:00 | 47h 25m | The Huntress | I couldn't really figure out what to do. I think this is a case where I feel like if the world was smaller, it would've been easier for me to feel like I knew where I was going. Or maybe a 'ping' mechanic? It's got a nice 2600 vibe, though, so I dug simple graphics. |
| May 2 03:00:00 | 7m 00s | Sink | Very nicely done. Too difficult for me to get very far, but it plays excellent and the pixel art is sweet. |
| May 2 03:04:00 | 4m 00s | Please Come Back | Very clever use of the controls and the music fits perfectly. |
| May 2 03:07:00 | 3m 00s | Gnomish Miners | Well, sure it's a cool puzzle game, but where are the beards!? |
| May 2 03:10:00 | 3m 00s | Mole Position | Very nice pixel art. Can I give bonus points for the name? |
| May 2 04:58:00 | 1h 48m | Dig Master | 144 points. A lot of fun! |
| May 6 05:21:00 | 96h 23m | Running Blind | I'm terrible at endless runners, but a good, solid entry. |
| May 6 05:24:00 | 3m 00s | Wormhunter | Lovely graphics. Nice spin on the sandworm idea. |
| May 6 05:28:00 | 4m 00s | Beneath the surface | The music is quite good and it looks pretty good. I'm sure you know the main problems, but a few things to recommend, if you decide to finish it; wasd+space is pretty hard to use. Your ship is huge, smaller would probably work better. Anyway, keep it up! |
| May 6 05:33:00 | 5m 00s | The Legend of the Thunder Fish | The harpoon mechanics work really well. Would be cool to see this expanded on after the jam. |
| May 6 05:39:00 | 6m 00s | Operation Nereids | Nice and moody, music works well with it. I couldn't figure out what to do once I scanned all the statues, though. |
| May 7 23:47:00 | 42h 08m | Super Surface Shape Shifter | Sure, it's simple but a lot of fun and quite polished. |
| May 8 02:48:00 | 3h 01m | Tiny Haunt | Looks and sounds great, cool concept, just wish there was more of a 'puzzle' to it? I sort of lobbed things around until I won. I feel it could be turned into something really cool with those base mechanics! |
| May 16 03:04:00 | 192h 16m | Duelo | Being a fan of puzzle platformers where you control multiple characters, I really dug it. I did get stuck on the room with the cannon... saw what you had to do, but I couldn't get the timing. Oh well. Very nice! |
| May 16 03:11:00 | 7m 00s | Mimic of the Deep | I love the idea of playing a mimic octopus and the wibbly-wobbly arms work well... maybe a little too well. Eventually I found that my best strategy was just to kind of stay in one place and gyrate. Oh, great music, too. |
| May 17 14:54:00 | 35h 43m | Revenge (Ludum Dare 29 - Beneath the Surface) | Oh man, so many aliens! Music was quite nice, as well. |
| May 17 14:58:00 | 4m 00s | Beneath The Night Sky | I love the colors and the mood... I got pretty confused, though. I got a few seeds, then nothing and I couldn't really tell if I was running or not. |
| May 17 15:15:00 | 17m 00s | Glueck Auf! | So, the music and art work well, but this could have really done with more instructions. I fiddled with settings and eventually got to a point where I could just leave the miners going and everything was stable so I won the game... I just wasn't sure why. |
| May 17 15:18:00 | 3m 00s | Electro Jellyfish | A winner is me! Sounds nice. |
