Apr 28 03:21:00 We Can Build Together After We Have Gone to Sleep I really enjoyed this. I don't quite get it, but it was a very relaxing experience.
Apr 28 03:32:00 11m 00s Moon Harvest There's a lot of good things going on for this entry. I did have some issues getting it to load properly, but once I started, I had a good time.
Apr 28 03:36:00 4m 00s Volcano Dave I see a lot of potential here. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I couldn't seem to get past that first switchback.
Apr 28 03:44:00 8m 00s Upper Crust Excellent use of theme, and I'm a sucker for a game with unconventional combat.
Apr 28 03:49:00 5m 00s Escape to the Surface Spiffy mechanics, nice atmosphere. A bit too all-the-difficulty-right-away for my taste.
Apr 28 03:55:00 6m 00s Bellhook It's beautiful to look at.
Apr 28 04:02:00 7m 00s ExploitedMiner Good pixel art, interesting puzzle aspect. Gravity felt a bit extreme.
Apr 28 04:13:00 11m 00s Gubble Quest Incredibly charming and well executed. GUI seems to have a bit of a depth issue with one of the table tops. I want a gubble.
Apr 28 04:25:00 12m 00s Dungeons of Dragorath Strangely addictive. This game looks very simple on the surface, but it's the little touches that really make it shine. There isn't anything particularly revolutionary here, but the graphics are consistent, the sound design is solid, and the controls are tight once you get used to the movement system. Well done!
Apr 28 04:36:00 11m 00s Watch Your Step I love well executed minimalism, and this game is the perfect example. Every individual piece is simple and well crafted, and they all come together to create an experience that is very engaging.
Apr 28 04:41:00 5m 00s Treasure Orgy I honestly have no idea what I just did, but whatever it was, I loved it.
Apr 28 04:52:00 11m 00s Ripple Runner This is. . . This is so good. Can we have more?
Apr 28 05:00:00 8m 00s Beneath the Trolls It's very pretty. It's very smooth. It's fun. I like it.
Apr 28 05:06:00 6m 00s Refuge Well done. It's pretty, and it's fun.
Apr 28 05:12:00 6m 00s Thrown Below Clever puzzles. Good graphics and sound. I wish it was a little bit more clear who's going to go which way when you hit a direction changer. Would totally play more if you make more levels.
Apr 28 05:23:00 11m 00s Oh My Oilrig! The way I constantly had to keep rebuilding towers was an interesting spin on the tower defense formula. Fun game!
Apr 28 05:34:00 11m 00s Darkness Shines Through It's a little bit overwhelming at first. I would have liked a little bit more guidance through the game at the start, but once you get into it, it was a fun playthrough.
Apr 28 05:39:00 5m 00s Beneath The Surface Integral There's a bit of a lack of guidance. I wasn't quite sure what I was meant to be doing, but the graphics are beautiful, and it handles nicely. Good job.
Apr 28 05:42:00 3m 00s UNDER Considering you cut 40 hours off your allotted development time, this is quite impressive. Considering the end result, there isn't really a whole lot there. I liked the bit I got to play though.
Apr 28 05:47:00 5m 00s Bomb Breacher I got the same error, but just running the SWF seemed to work fine for me.
Apr 28 05:52:00 5m 00s Spelunker Boxing I am absolutely terrible at this game. I love it though. It's simple, but with just enough complexity and speed you keep your brain in panic mode. The graphics look a little MSPainty, but they're consistent and all the pieces go together well. Solid entry.
Apr 28 05:55:00 3m 00s Gold Submarine It's cute, and I found it very relaxing. The slow pacing, and gradual controls make just moving around and exploring feel pretty satisfying.
Apr 28 06:12:00 17m 00s Cave-In Jumpin' This is well done. It took me a bit to figure out how it works, but this is a cool idea, and I really don't think I've ever seen this done before.
Apr 28 06:42:00 30m 00s Generic Adventure Game Game slows waaaaaaay down for me when I enter dream mode. Which is a shame because this game is gorgeous and I want to play all of it.
Apr 28 06:50:00 8m 00s A boy and his Hellworm Oh orangepascal, you always deliver!
Apr 28 07:00:00 10m 00s Cave Survival This was extremely well done. The sound design especially. I wish there was more to it than those freakin' bats.
Apr 28 17:03:00 10h 03m Spunk Spelunk Addictive. It's really nailed that "just one more" motivation and keeps you wanting to try again.
Apr 28 17:09:00 6m 00s Focus Shift Well done. There's a solid sense of style to the graphics, and the levels are challenging and engaging.
Apr 28 17:14:00 5m 00s The Mine This is very interesting in concept, and well executed. I like how you managed to take a fairly complex system and boil it down to a few clicks.
Apr 28 17:18:00 4m 00s Bloodbath 5 stars in humor for "Heart pounding soundtrack". Congratulations, you have pun.
Apr 28 17:20:00 2m 00s HYPERHYDROSIS Simple and short, but fun and well designed. Good job.
Apr 28 17:26:00 6m 00s Scary Ugly Face It's amazing how much personality and character fits into this little game. Excellent!
Apr 28 19:25:00 1h 59m God Hunter It looks really nice. It's easy to pick up and play, it feels a little bit more luck-heavy than I usually prefer, but at the same time it has a bit of a slot machine feel to it that makes you want to try again when you have some bad luck. Overall, a great entry.
Apr 28 20:58:00 1h 33m Beneath The Memories Very atmospheric, with good controls and a very good sense of scale. Solid entry! I like it.
Apr 29 01:40:00 4h 42m ScubaBear Yes am bear, but always wondered: "Why am bear? Is there more than bear?". No longer! Am bear for scuba! Am bear for good game! Am more than bear. Am ScubaBear!
Apr 29 01:47:00 7m 00s Dig Hard So good. 5/5
Apr 29 02:43:00 56m 00s Kitsuni This was beautiful. Excellent use of the theme in a literal and metaphorical sense, and foxes are neat!
Apr 29 03:26:00 43m 00s Meddle This was pretty cool. I think it would help anyone having a hard time to mention that once you inspect an enemy, you can then move away while you look through commands. It was kind of tough to figure out, but once you get it, the command swapping mechanic was really interesting. Good entry.
Apr 29 03:33:00 7m 00s Down I'm not sure exactly what it is about it, but I love the graphical style here. The MSPaintyness of it doesn't hurt it because of the interesting poses the characters have and the great color pallet used. Also the music is neat.
Apr 29 03:38:00 5m 00s Damn Sharks Good game. The mushiness of the controls make your sub actually feel like a big, underwater, missile firin' submarine instead of just a little sprite. Also solidarity points because the final boss in my game is also a shark.
Apr 29 03:49:00 11m 00s Alamogordo Oh man, so many points for that E.T. The functionality and use of theme are very impressive considering how quickly you put this together. I did find the "move all the way to the right to win" mechanic a little difficult to grasp though. Was that an E.T. game reference? (I haven't actually played the worst video game ever made)
Apr 29 04:09:00 20m 00s Inspector Badass Very nice. Good use of theme in story and atmosphere. I am very bad at this game, but I want to keep playing anyway. That's good stuff right there.
Apr 29 04:18:00 9m 00s Sub Terraria Zero Like a 2d Tomb Raider with a lot of snow! This was tons of fun, and just the right kind of difficult to really make me feel stupid every time I died, thus making me try again. Well done.
Apr 29 05:23:00 1h 05m FedIt! Well done on ramping up the difficulty curve. It really felt well-balanced.
Apr 29 05:33:00 10m 00s Dark Soils Great atmosphere. Great art. I wish there was a little more to do, but what's there is well done.
Apr 29 06:08:00 35m 00s Down Interesting little experience. It's moody, and a little depressing. The graphics very well done, but it seemed like the sound was a little unpolished. Not the music though. Music was very well done.
Apr 29 17:40:00 11h 32m Moletube Great entry. I love resource management/strategy games, and they seem to be a bit of a rarity. The graphics are great, and the concept and mechanics are solid and well executed. It was a little bit laggy in places, but never un-playable for me. Nicely done.
Apr 29 18:05:00 25m 00s Subocula This is truly excellent for a first entry. Strong use of theme, simple, but clean and consistent graphics, and really spooky and engaging, to boot. Well done, Dr Melon. I'd love to see an enhanced version of this with more exploration of the theme and story.
Apr 29 18:59:00 54m 00s A Glorious Escape for A Lich King I love when tower defense games add resource management that's more than just "Kill all the things to get more things". Good use of theme, and it's just really fun!
Apr 29 21:21:00 2h 22m BENEATH the SURFACE This is very well done. The difficulty is ridiculous (not in a bad way) and the running narration creates a great mood. It got a little too frustrating for me later in, but I'll be coming back to it later. Well done!
Apr 30 04:17:00 6h 56m Relica Cool concept, messing with gravity. It's surprisingly challenging for how simple it seems.
Apr 30 04:24:00 7m 00s Beneath Colossal I'm afraid I'm really really bad at this lol. I didn't actually progress very much, but man did I ever have a blast just flailing around and breaking stuff xD
Apr 30 04:30:00 6m 00s The Underkeep Once I figured out what to do, this turned out to be one of the most unique game mechanics I've seen in a long time. It feels like a tower defense, but kind of plays like tapper. I think a little more clear guidance would be good, but overall, it's a great entry.
Apr 30 04:37:00 7m 00s Beneath the surface Very strong use of theme, having to figure out everyone's loyalties/intentions beneath the surface. You really get a sense of time and urgency from seeing the planet get closer with each click, and it made me really stop to think about what to say.
Apr 30 04:39:00 2m 00s Switcher Damn those rocks! Good game. It hooks you and makes you want to give it one more go.
Apr 30 04:47:00 8m 00s Insane Grandpa Fun little game with tight controls and beautiful pixel art. If you actually get through the whole thing, you see how amazingly well it fits the theme. The ending was a little depressing actually. Excellent use of emotion in game.
Apr 30 04:52:00 5m 00s Deep Calls To Deep I found the randomization to be a touch game breaking, as it would very rarely just block your path completely or not put a reachable bubble some place where it's needed, but that's forgivable for how beautiful and atmospheric the game is. Good presentation on a simple, but very functional concept.
Apr 30 05:06:00 14m 00s The Longest Way Down Very well done. Good writing, and beautifully somber mood. I grew up on myst and riven, so this was like a bit of childhood for me. Good job.
Apr 30 05:11:00 5m 00s Escape from the depths! The ascension of the almighty one! Simple, but well executed. I think it would have been nice if the camera would recognize when you're getting ahead and speed up a bit to keep up with you.
Apr 30 05:20:00 9m 00s In search of an Artist Great music, and interesting graphics. I didn't quite see the need for 2 different movement speeds, but the game was a fun playthrough.
Apr 30 05:23:00 3m 00s Surface Tension Oh man, this was great. I love seeing an entry that isn't afraid to be simple. You picked a thing, and you did it really really well. This was so relaxing, I'm keeping it in my "kill some time" folder on my desktop.
Apr 30 05:27:00 4m 00s Elder Sub I would be all about a more developed version of this. The fight animations were awesome. so full of life and character. The game felt a little empty, but I can see so much potential for this. Good concept.
Apr 30 05:31:00 4m 00s 0x1D I'm seeing this idea of altering object components come up more frequently recently, and I'm in favor. This is a cool idea, and 0x1D does it very well.
Apr 30 05:34:00 3m 00s Hell Hole This was absolutely ridiculous and I loved every second of it.
Apr 30 05:37:00 3m 00s Blind Path Neat idea. I found it a little frustrating at times, but I liked the music, and the graphics were nice.
May 1 00:46:00 19h 09m DEEPER I think the slow pace really adds a lot to the tension and mood of the game. Yes, it can get a little bit frustrating if you're in a hurry to get to the end, but the atmosphere was so gripping I didn't feel like I needed to rush.
May 1 00:51:00 5m 00s Damn It, Rabbit ! Fun little game. You've made me hate rabbits xD It took me a bit to figure out what I was doing, but this is pretty addictive once you understand how it works. Damn rabbit. . .
May 1 00:58:00 7m 00s Doomsday Bunker This was great. There's an almost dwarf-fortress level sense of impending doom the whole time you're playing, it's balanced just so to make it seem like you have a chance. Fun play. Good entry.
May 1 01:02:00 4m 00s Debris Dizzyyyyy. I felt drunk the whole time I was playing this. This is not a bad thing. The controls kind of felt like my enemy, so when I actually got it to cooperate for me, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Well made control system. Solid game.
May 1 02:12:00 1h 10m Wriggle Worm This was so much fun. It's really refreshing to see pure and simple gameplay done this well. The controls are tight. The graphics are charming, and the action is pretty addictive. The hit sound was a little grating, but don't get hit bro. Non-bleeding ears is the reward for being good! : D Well done.
May 1 02:18:00 6m 00s Friend of the Fisherman This game made me so happy. I played atari games as a kid. These graphics. These sounds. They made me happy inside. The controls are good, the game looks great, and it's a lot of fun. I'd like to see this developed more post LD. So much potential!
May 1 02:22:00 4m 00s Running Blind This was very well done. I'm a little surprised at how few endless runners I've seen so far this LD, and I love a good endless runner. Good job!
May 1 03:50:00 1h 28m Bitmite Blitz This is a really nicely made arcade game. When the audio of me playing "CRAP! *restart*" more than 3 times in a row, I call it an addicting success. Lots of fun, and it's impressive to see achievements implemented in a game with such a short development time. Well done!
May 1 04:08:00 18m 00s tell my story I don't really get it. It looks really good though, and the fact that I didn't get it did sort of create a sense of mystery. That combined with the graphics and writing gives it a strong mood. A little confusing to me, but still good!
May 1 04:21:00 13m 00s Beneath The Clouds Neat idea. I think it needs a little polish to truly shine, but the concept is strong, and it's a very unique game.
May 1 04:29:00 8m 00s Asteroid(s) Very arcadey. I feel like I should be playing this on a cabinet in a dark room smelling of pizza and quarters. Nicely done. The ship looks cool, and the geometric-looking asteroids keep the screen looking interesting.
May 1 05:09:00 40m 00s Sink This was hard. Like megaman hard. It also had super tight controls, and challenging level design. I found the audio to be a little grating, but the destructible terrain was a cool addition, and every time I died, I wanted to try again so I could shoot first next time. Good job! I'd also recommend compiling as a standalone executable. Saving that step gets a lot more people to give it a shot.
May 1 05:13:00 4m 00s Foundation Neat little game. Explosives as a weapon in games is an idea I really into. The controls felt a little mushy, but it wasn't too difficult to get the hang of them. Your tilesets are really interesting to look at. Good work!
May 1 05:19:00 6m 00s Super Surface Shape Shifter Very cool idea. Who would have thought that just matching shapes could be so much fun or interesting. It's fairly addictive, and the music is a big help there. Very nicely done.
May 1 05:25:00 6m 00s fall You had me at "parachute" and you completed me with "grappling hook".
May 1 14:19:00 8h 54m Jetpack Caverns Fun game. And hard! The physics of the jetpack feel just right, and destructible terrain is always a nice touch. It really adds an extra level of depth to a shooter like this.
May 1 17:20:00 3h 01m Tenkosei ROBO This was incredibly silly in the best ways and I love it!
May 1 17:25:00 5m 00s Drowning in Problems This is a really interesting core concept. I'm not really much of a fan of being this heavily text-based, but it really made me take a look at life in a different way. It's as if a computer is running life.exe, and I'm watching the console log. Very thought-provoking, and very unique.
May 1 19:40:00 2h 15m Beneath the Surface Very cool. One of the best looking pixel art entries I've seen, and I love the minimalism of the audio. It really makes the world feel more haunted and dangerous. I feel like the hop-back could have been pushed a little bit farther to make the best use of it, but the combat was fun, and challenging.
May 1 23:51:00 4h 11m Kontroise Very well done sound and music. Good sounds really pulls you into a game. Drifting was a cool idea, and seemed like it worked pretty well.
May 2 00:39:00 48m 00s The Valley Rule Apart from being beautiful and sounding great, this game does a great job of building on itself as it plays. The pacing and learning curve are both well implemented, the puzzles are great. Really nice game!
May 2 00:46:00 7m 00s Coin Diver Good game! The controls are nice, the graphics look consistent, the music is good, and there's a lot of incentive to keep trying even when you die a watery death.
May 2 00:52:00 6m 00s Candyland Excellent use of theme in more than just the obvious way.
May 2 00:57:00 5m 00s SUNK Wow, this is a great example of getting as much as possible out of a simple concept. It's impressive how much depth (haha) is here for just using one button.
May 2 03:55:00 2h 58m Geology Rocks Pretty good game : D the dick more is too much fun to not do though. Even with that exploit, there's some really solid puzzles here. Well done.
May 2 04:02:00 7m 00s Kill or Kill This seemed pretty buggy, but it was still pretty fun, and I can see what the intent was which helps a lot. Overall, it's a well designed game that just seems to have had some hiccups in execution. If you plan to work on this more, I'd really like to see what it turns into with a bit more development.
May 2 04:26:00 24m 00s Wormhunter Worm only showed up once in four plays, BUT killing the worm was a blast! I'd love to see a full release of this. Good job.
May 2 04:33:00 7m 00s COVERUP This is good! I think it needs a little bit more depth to really shine, but as it is, it's still a great little memory/strategy game. The graphics are well done, and all the sound effects really seem to fit.
May 2 04:46:00 13m 00s Deep Sea It's very pretty, and the sound is great. It felt like it was over too quick, but what was there was really nicely done.
May 2 13:04:00 8h 18m The Drowning Man Well done. It's simple, and easy to pick up, but fun to keep playing as well.
May 2 16:09:00 3h 05m Go Below Good idea. Good use of theme, and great graphical style. That was fun!
May 3 00:02:00 7h 53m Escape From Guardian (Fixed link!) This game terrified me. The screen shake and the sound effects of the stone beasts made did a great job of creating a sense of paranoia. The camera angle wobble while moving made me a bit dizzy, but it was worth it!
May 3 00:16:00 14m 00s Eiradirian Wormfare There's a staggering amount of content in this given the time constraints. That said, I think it would have benefited from scaling back a little bit. All the individual aspects are well done, but it's pretty overwhelming from the start, although the help screen is useful. I'd like to see where this goes if you decide to work on it more.
May 3 00:22:00 6m 00s Atomicle - LostAutumn.net One of the most unique entries I've seen so far. Clean and simple graphics and sounds make this fun little puzzler just feel right.
May 3 00:30:00 8m 00s The fight beneath the surface I had a good time with this. The voice acting was pretty goofy, but it came off in a fun way, and gave this a lot of character. The controls were clean, and the graphics were simple, but consistent.
May 3 00:36:00 6m 00s Soulitude Very nicely done. The use of theme is really strong, the graphics are good, and the sound is really effective. The stark contrast between the two worlds sets a really trippy mood for the game which makes the whole experience that much more interesting.
May 3 00:48:00 12m 00s Drill18: The Mars Project I found the music very catchy : D That's in addition to how well put together the rest of the game was. I'll be coming back to play this more.
May 3 00:54:00 6m 00s Kraken I used to play Seawolf on Atari as a kid. This really brought me back. Well done.
May 3 19:11:00 18h 17m Threading This is a tough puzzler. Very well done. Really good incorporation of the theme, and fun to keep playing.
May 3 20:42:00 1h 31m IO - Reflection/Puzzler This is a really solid puzzle game. The pieces are all useful, and most puzzles seem to have more than one solution which is great for a logic-based game. Graphics look good, and the audio fits well. Good job!
May 3 20:50:00 8m 00s Enderscope's Game I just jumped into this without reading the description first and will now have nightmares xD Seriously though, this is a really unique idea for a game, and once I tried it again with a little context, I really enjoyed myself. I'd like to see this fully developed eventually. Well done.
May 3 21:03:00 13m 00s Toxic Below This was really hard! It's tough to pull off such a precision skills based game without it feeling unfair, and Toxic Below did a pretty solid job of it. The controls are responsive, if a bit difficult to master (I played mouse only version) and getting the timing right to hover over a spill just feels great.
May 3 21:28:00 25m 00s It Came from Beneath the Surface: Wormgun This strangely reminded me of ecco the dolphin. The controls really felt like how I remember it was jumping out of the water. This is a good thing. This game plays very smoothly, and it's very challenging for how simple the core mechanic is. Well done!
May 3 21:35:00 7m 00s Fellow Mole versus Raccoons Thieves Cute game. I like the look you were going for, and the mole and raccoon models are pretty good. I feel like this was a little too ambitious though. It feels like it needs more polish and balancing. The controls feel a little muddy, and the camera was a bit annoying. However, it was fairly challenging, and the level layout was interesting.
May 3 21:38:00 3m 00s Wolfy Blast I found the audio pretty grating, but the UI was really nice, and platform shooters like comfort food to me, so I had a good time.
May 3 21:59:00 21m 00s It Came From The Sewer This made the little sociopath in my so happy. Solid pipe puzzler with charming graphics and fitting sound. Good job.
May 3 22:08:00 9m 00s Life story The goal was made very clear right from the start, and that's a very strong point. I like the pixel art, and the water looks really nice. After the initial goal though, I found myself pretty lost. Jumping around was fun, but I had a difficult time figuring out how to progress. A little more polish and direction would really make this game shine.
May 3 22:11:00 3m 00s Under the Ice Cute. The graphics are good, and the music is really nice. A little pathfinding in the walking code would have been nice, but it worked okay without. I found the ending hilarious for some reason. Good work.
May 5 01:08:00 26h 57m Sandworm Rampage This was good! It's been a long time since I've seen someone make a reference or variation to Snake. You took something old, and gave it a very effective new twist. I'd say this was a great success.
May 5 01:20:00 12m 00s Beyond The Surface The Chaos Rises I didn't quite understand the rules, but I managed to stumble through. The cards were well drawn, and the music was nice. Card games are tough to make interesting, and this was interesting to me. Good job!
May 5 01:55:00 35m 00s 30 Days Remain Amazing! This was so good. It looks simple on the surface, but it's challenging, interesting, and intense. I got so far, and then lost on day 30 >< so close. Well done!
May 5 02:05:00 10m 00s The Crypts of Fire Lots of fun. The controls feel a little wonky, but the idea is fun, and the enemies are challenging. The magic is a blast to use.
May 5 03:01:00 56m 00s Captain P I love that Captain President is wearing a presidential suit. . . and flip-flops.
May 5 03:08:00 7m 00s Deep Water Good concept, good graphics, great audio. That deep tone that runs while you play really gives a sense of danger. The difficulty could stand to scale a little slower, but overall, this is a lot of fun.
May 5 03:15:00 7m 00s The Show Must Go On This is funny. Like I laughed out loud reading the directions. I love your idea, and the graphics work well with it. I do think the controls could use a little tweaking, but overall, quite well done.
May 5 04:18:00 1h 03m Frack You This was great! I haven't played a good pipe game in a long time, and the addition of planet spinning and protester satiating was a great feature to add.
May 5 04:23:00 5m 00s Mithril Generally, I think it's safer to have LD games run in windowed mode by default with the option to full screen if you want. Niggling point aside, this wasn't a bad game. The controls were mostly smooth, and you can tell the sprites had some good work put into them.
May 5 04:26:00 3m 00s Hell Jumper Very challenging. Very rewarding once you get it. Good job!
May 5 04:34:00 8m 00s Scuba Sam I felt like this was a little light on content, but it was cute, and interesting. That piano, man. That piano xD
May 5 04:36:00 2m 00s Demon Shanker 2 Can't seem to get the game to load right now :[ This looks fun.
May 5 04:39:00 3m 00s Shootmarine Innovation points for multiple perspectives! Bonus points for having voice work. This was really tough, but fun, and good looking.
May 5 05:24:00 45m 00s Cybs Submarine A brilliant first try. The game is very simple, but well done. The controls are smooth and responsive, and it's fun!
May 5 05:29:00 5m 00s Underwater Mech Fighter Controls seem like they could use a little work, and there was a bit of unexplained floating, but this was a fun game. The mech customization was cool, and the music and graphics were very nice.
May 5 05:36:00 7m 00s Inside Look Activity Book Very good use of theme, and extremely innovative/unique. It felt a little janky on pc, but you some things just work better on tablets. Good job, and that was a rad alligator.
May 5 05:41:00 5m 00s No Eyes Willy Heh :] this was fun. And cute. And well made. And silly. And I liked it. I think some goofy music as a soundtrack would have made this even better.
May 5 05:45:00 4m 00s The Creature Beneath The music was very good. I was a little frustrated by the eel, but this game was full of interesting puzzles and charming graphics. Solid entry.
May 5 05:51:00 6m 00s Digable Planet Oh man. I love tower defense, and every time I see a game that's tower defense AND other stuff, I get excited. Digable Planet did not disappoint. The mechanics were well-designed, graphics and sound were nice, and it was just fun!
May 5 05:55:00 4m 00s River Raid 3d As a concept demo, this was great. I love river raid and making it a multi-level 3d shooter is awesome. It would have been nice if a couple more core features had been finished, but not ever LD48 goes as planned.
May 5 06:01:00 6m 00s Greys This game felt like it was smarter than me haha. The concept was interesting, and I really liked the greys. I didn't manage to get every last secret, but it was fun. It seemed like there were some little collision issues, but other than that, it was very smooth and well put together.
May 5 06:07:00 6m 00s Hughes Hughes was pretty fun. The collisions are a little funky, but it doesn't really affect gameplay that much. Thanks for pointing me to that chrome extension!
May 5 06:17:00 10m 00s SUPER ROBO GARDEN ARENA Fun game! That deadly blast of arrows just feels so satisfying. Your graphics are really nice, too. I'd play more of this if you make an enhanced version later.
May 6 03:10:00 20h 53m AHH LAVA! The randomization was a little frustrating at times, but the randomness of it really adds to the "just one more try" mindset of it. The controls worked pretty well, and the graphics were pretty nice. Good job!
May 6 03:18:00 8m 00s Hair Spirit Adventure Cute game. The controls feel like they need a little more refining, and some more audio would be nice, but the graphics are charming, and well done, and the levels are nicely designed.
May 6 03:25:00 7m 00s Beneath your feet Oh man, this was CREEPY! Great atmosphere, tons of tension. This was scary. Well done.
May 6 03:32:00 7m 00s Mine Explorer Very nice pixel art. This game is beautiful. Your sound effects are simple, but effective, and the music was great! I love when a game takes a simple mechanic and really runs with it. You exploited the hell out of "don't get hit by fire" and the result was a good game. You should develop this more.
May 6 03:40:00 8m 00s Descent This art is gorgeous. The combat was a little bit janky, but it worked, and I had a fun time exploring/getting lost. Obviously time constrains don't allow for the level of polish a game like this deserves, but for the time limit, it's very well done, and I'm excited to see where it goes, post ludum dare.
May 6 03:52:00 12m 00s QP : Fix the leak! The swinging mechanic is what saved the gameplay. The graphics are good, and the sound is good other than the damage effect being too loud compared to the music. Music was really nice. The swinging mechanic took a somewhat tired gameplay formula and made it interesting, challenging, and fun. Good job!
May 7 04:20:00 24h 28m Please Come Back You really blew it out of the water in theme and mood. I didn't really find this "fun" in a typical game sense, but it was a very impactful experience, and I'm glad I played it. The frantic mouse wheel scrolling and clicking really makes you feel the desperation of the player character's situation.
May 7 04:27:00 7m 00s Beneath The Lab There's an impressive amount of polish on this game. The puzzles are interesting, and the controls are effective, if a tiny bit oversensitive. I think adding some subtitles would have helped since I had a little trouble understanding the audio at times, but that's a nitpicky point for this sort of thing. Well done!
May 7 04:56:00 29m 00s Siren Song That escalated quickly! I really enjoyed this unique concept for a game. The controls were well done and eating a ship full of sailors was really satisfying xD It did feel like the difficulty ramped up really really fast, but this was really fun.
May 8 18:58:00 38h 02m Carnival Warfare This was a lot of fun, and the graphics and sound were really top-notch. I had some minor text issues (text outside screen even with my monitor's resolution selected), but nothing that was more than a tiny distraction to an otherwise charming and fun game.
May 8 19:04:00 6m 00s Mine Story Intro scene was very well done, and the graphics were clean, if a little simplistic. The music was great, and really added a lot to the experience. The only thing I really didn't like was the constant reclicking to dig. I think it would have been less frustrating to just be able to hold the button down to drill and having drill speed affect a timer. Overall though, this was very well done.
May 10 02:45:00 31h 41m Helevenium Incredibly difficult, but the kind of difficulty that hooks you and won't let go.
May 10 02:57:00 12m 00s Shovel Quest Good. Game. Would I play again? The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes, please. I'd like to see some music added, but this was a really fun, well-built game.
May 12 19:53:00 64h 56m Series Of Choices Good concept. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but turned out pretty enjoyable.
May 13 04:59:00 9h 06m Project Tethys Well made game. The controls were smooth and responsive. The graphics looked good, and the sound and music was great. I found it a little too easy to just stay direction above the base and strafe up and down, but when I made myself actively hunt the enemies, I had a lot more fun. Good job!
May 13 05:05:00 6m 00s Pixel Draw This was very unique, and very fun. It's one of the most unusual, and unexpected ideas I've seen, and I really wasn't expecting it to be so enjoyable when I saw what it was. I was very pleasantly surprised. Well done!
May 14 03:04:00 21h 59m Nuggets Good little match game! Smooth animations and pretty good sounds. I think it could benefit from a more hands-on tutorial. It took me a bit to figure out how to make color fusing actually do anything after reading the instructions, but it all came together eventually. Well done!
May 14 05:55:00 2h 51m Indie Game Developer Simulator Man, I am REALLY bad at being an indie game developer. Free movement would have improved this a lot, I think. It isn't necessary, but I think it would really offer a great opportunity to simulate the shambling, sleep deprived, hopeless gait that goes with the profession. Very clever game.
May 15 03:45:00 21h 50m RAW This was really cool. I didn't really get how/if it used the theme, but I had a blast playing. The controls were smooth and the graphics and animation were good looking (and full of nudity?) Chiptune music did a good job of staying interesting through my tons of deaths. Well done!
May 15 03:55:00 10m 00s Kraken's Island 98 seconds. Man that was fun! Honestly my only critique would be that the game gets a little bland fairly quickly. I'd really like to see a more developed version of this with difficulty ramping and some more content. This was a legitimately awesome concept though. Very well done!
May 15 04:11:00 16m 00s denudation Wow that was cool. The player's evolution of power and play mechanics as you collect fragments is really interesting, and the subtle bit of story that's there gives the game a good sense of intrigue and discovery as you play. Played more than once. Would play again. Very well done!
May 16 00:10:00 19h 59m Sail Game was cute and the music was nice. The squid was helpful in moving the game forward, but I wished there was more direction.
May 16 00:27:00 17m 00s Heaving of the Depths Fun game with a good story! Kept me interested the whole way! Good job!
May 17 12:48:00 36h 21m Upstream That was a ton of fun! Solid puzzler with good level layouts. I found the bubbles to be a little bit glitchy occasionally when trying to push them around, but nothing game breaking. Well done!
May 18 03:19:00 14h 31m Here's Dirt in Your Eye Very well done. The writing is great, and throwing people in holes and burying their awful, awful faces made my day. Some animations would have been a nice addition, but this is a solid game, first time or otherwise. Good job!
