|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 28 11:55:00 | Beneath the Earth | Nice visual style, but as you mentioned it's very short so not that much to rate. Adding some ambient music would really help I think, as it hads the potential to become very atmospheric. | |
| Apr 28 12:06:00 | 11m 00s | 30 Days Remain | Really enjoyed this. Once I'd worked out how to play it i was hooked for a few goes. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to kill obth duplicates, or just one of them.... |
| Apr 28 12:13:00 | 7m 00s | Under Riders | I loved the co-op game mechanic, this concept/idea could be developed into a really interesting exploration puzzle game. It would have been nice if the scuba diver could open gates/unlock areas for the sub to enter. |
| Apr 28 12:18:00 | 5m 00s | The Collector | There wasn't too much to play, but it was very atmospheric and the darkness added to the tension. |
| Apr 28 12:25:00 | 7m 00s | Underneath Your Skin | Wow. What a fantastic idea and game, and nicely on theme. It would have been nice to know if I was progressing towards anything, or how many points I was scoring while in-game, but that's me being fussy. Brilliant! |
| Apr 28 12:37:00 | 12m 00s | Space to go | Very nice. Even though it's not really a game, it was an great 5 min experience. Nicely self-aware in a humble way. And a great standalone soundtrack! |
| Apr 28 12:48:00 | 11m 00s | SnakeFormer - Half Snake, Half Platformer | I loved the end of level sound effect! I also enjoyed plaing this game, although I couldn't get past the level with the falling balls so not sure how much of it I saw. Well polished solid game. |
| Apr 28 12:58:00 | 10m 00s | Balancitos | Really beautiful looking game, quite amazing for 48hours! it reminded me of Black&White a bit. Keep working on it! |
| Apr 28 13:08:00 | 10m 00s | Six Clouds Above | nice visual style, and addictive gameplay. i got that feeling you have when you arrive in the uk from a sunny country, flying through the clouds into an overcast world. you should sell you solar technology! |
| Apr 28 13:11:00 | 3m 00s | Baum | interesting concept, and nice looking. creepy! |
| Apr 28 13:13:00 | 2m 00s | vers la lumiere | i couldn't get this to work on firefox, kept freezing on loading screen :( |
| Apr 28 13:21:00 | 8m 00s | Bubble Dream | wow, an amazing amount of content for LD game! abot 10 or 20 levels and a proper menu interface! i think i actually prefered the menu mechanic to the real game - maybe use this for a new game? i wasn't too keen on killing turtles, poor turtles. |
| Apr 28 13:27:00 | 6m 00s | Planet Scan-it | my ship kept dying from receiving too much damage. not sure aht i was doing wrong. i enjoyed whizzing around the planets though. a shadow would have helped gauge the ships distanmce from the planet i think. |
| Apr 28 13:31:00 | 4m 00s | Substep | loved the audio, i really brought the enemies to life. |
| Apr 28 13:49:00 | 18m 00s | Oil Drillers | Brilliant. I'm still playing it! Really addictive. Great interface, really intuitive. You should probably explain how to zoom out as I didn't realise how big the map was until accidently rolling the middle mouse button. |
| Apr 28 14:04:00 | 15m 00s | Lonely Boy | Wow. an intersting experience. and very atmospheric. i think if the text was audio it would work better as i was more keen to watch the beautiful imagery than read the text. beautiful work. |
| Apr 28 14:13:00 | 9m 00s | The Gathering | rally beautiful game, with suitable ambient countryside sounds. |
| Apr 28 14:41:00 | 28m 00s | Diver X | Very addictive! nice looking too. i would prefer it if the ship didn't keep rotating, but i guess that would make it easier....too easy? |
| Apr 28 14:45:00 | 4m 00s | Streets of Shooting | i htink maybe you're aware of the lighting problem already, otherwise i think it would have been great fun. i like the 2d characters. reminded me a bit of syndicate (from the 90s). |
| Apr 28 14:50:00 | 5m 00s | Surface Come | great music! |
| Apr 28 14:52:00 | 2m 00s | MechSpider | web version didn't open from dropbox....? |
| Apr 28 15:47:00 | 55m 00s | Hero Arcade Edition | OOoooo thats gun is so satisfying to use! Good fun! The only thing that could be improved is the camera jumping as I changed shooting direction, which made me lose my character. Not the most innovative game, but a good hardcore shooter with a quirky introduction. |
| Apr 28 15:51:00 | 4m 00s | Beneath the Surface Z: Day of Survival | i guess you're not a fan of russian dolls? especially zombie russian dolls! i couldn't seem to die? my hp was -500... i liked the eerie darkness of the environment, and the lazer gun. maybe the camera could have been further from the player to allow more of the map to be visible? |
| Apr 28 16:01:00 | 10m 00s | Sopora | How refreshing to see/read/play something different! Really atmospheric without any real visuals. Simple and very effective. I felt my real self start to panic at points.... |
| Apr 28 16:07:00 | 6m 00s | Yay, more squares! | Good quality dungeon shooter. Would have been nice to see some slightly more innovative weapons. Solid game though. |
| Apr 28 16:14:00 | 7m 00s | Go Below | Interesting concept. i think you should have stuck with a black and white palette though. lots of intersting puzzle ideas. |
| Apr 28 16:44:00 | 30m 00s | Franz Kafka's A Hunger Artist | quite bizarre. which i like! at first i wasn't sure what was going on. if the main character was animated, or at least had a different image for each activity it would be more clear. really like the concept. |
| Apr 28 16:59:00 | 15m 00s | Beneath The Surface | Innovative mechanics and concept, and nice looking too. Reminds me a bit of Rez on PS2. |
| Apr 28 17:06:00 | 7m 00s | The God Underneath | wow. after a little confuion as to what the flip was going on i really enjoyed this game. i liked that you couldn't really see the other players, just their trail. |
| Apr 28 17:22:00 | 16m 00s | Hot Diggity | Great fun! And amazingly complete for a LD game. |
| Apr 28 17:29:00 | 7m 00s | Moon Mole Massacre | i'm glad i don't live on the moon, those moles would ruin my lawn! nice game. simple, but addictive. nice popping sound, and errie moon music. |
| Apr 28 19:50:00 | 2h 21m | Drill Bill | I didn't manage to kill any enemies at all, not sure what i was doing wrong. The music is very catchy... da, da daaaa...da, da daaa... |
| Apr 28 19:55:00 | 5m 00s | BENEATH the SURFACE | Loved the sfxs! And the mechanics were quite interesting too. |
| Apr 28 20:02:00 | 7m 00s | Clean Them'All ! | Loved the end of level boss who kept dividing and dividing! Although I couldn't kill him.... |
| Apr 28 20:28:00 | 26m 00s | WHAT IS IN THE SWAMP? (IT'S MONSTERS) | So what is in the swamp? For some reason I'm reminded of Repo man, the film. Are there some glowey green things in that? Amazing game for 48 hours! I especially liked the sounds. |
| Apr 28 20:32:00 | 4m 00s | Clobsters | Not sure what it has to do with the theme, but an intersting game mechanic. A bit like sumo, so you have to puch the other lobster into the sea urchins to slowly kill him. I only played 1p so didn't really get the full experience, but it was nicely polished with amazing character physics/animations. |
| Apr 28 20:38:00 | 6m 00s | Yellow River Submarine | I enjoyed playing this, and played about 10 times. Then I managed to get the hang of it and reached 15 miles, but it didn;t seem to be getting any harder so I stopped playing. Avoid the steering wheels! |
| Apr 28 20:42:00 | 4m 00s | Smoldering Star | Wow, really stunning visuals. And really finished music too - assuming you've made that during the 48 hours too. The shadows became a bit unpredictable later in the game so I got a bit frustrated and gave up. |
| Apr 28 20:53:00 | 11m 00s | LogiFig | Once I understood what the flip was going on I really enjoyed this. It started to hurt my brain after a few levels though. Nicely made, solid game design and intersting concept. |
| Apr 28 20:58:00 | 5m 00s | Shadows of the past | I thought it was just a standard platformer but then these red shadow characters appeared and made my life a nightmare! Really well made game, with lots of polish. It felt like a finished game actually. |
| Apr 28 21:02:00 | 4m 00s | Beneath The Surface | Nice concept! |
| Apr 29 09:11:00 | 12h 09m | Hammerhead Sharks Against Humanity | good fun, with a satisfying feel to it. would have preferred it if there was time limit as i was enjoying growing my school. |
| Apr 29 09:26:00 | 15m 00s | Wrecked Submarine. | I really enjoyed this. It was quite immersive, and i had the impression that I was under the water in the sub. It was almost meditative with the humming engine and the slow movement. |
| Apr 29 09:30:00 | 4m 00s | Atomicle - LostAutumn.net | Wowzers. the most polished game i've played so far. and nice simple mechanics. could easily be developed into a full game! |
| Apr 29 09:35:00 | 5m 00s | Crazy Virus | good fun! i wasn't very good, but really wanted to see how far the mutations could go so kept trying. |
| Apr 29 11:33:00 | 1h 58m | Damned Scouts! | Great game! And so polished for and LD game. I didn;t find any bugs...but you should make the 'better' version anyway..not sure how much better you could make it. maybe more complex puzzles involving a few different objects. |
| Apr 29 11:40:00 | 7m 00s | Beneath the 4th wall | Loved the intro! The cat question ha ha ha! Then the 'fun' button Q - brilliant. Very absurd and charming.got a bit frustrated with level 2 as I kept being told that I couldn't jump from there so i gave up. Liked the hand drawn graphics and sound too. |
| Apr 29 11:44:00 | 4m 00s | Shitty Platformer | Great and hilarious audio. definitely an unexplored mario avenue. and very apt name! |
| Apr 29 12:29:00 | 45m 00s | Crayon Miners | Hi Charlotte, thanks for the comments! I enjoyed your game, had me hooked for a while. I htink it would be nice if the tunnel was wider at the start, the getting thinner over time - i died about 10 times during the first few turns. Didn't really know what to do when i reached the first miner so just continued on and then died again. I didn't recognise the artwork? I remember you making different tiles at 8bit? Philip |
| Apr 29 20:55:00 | 8h 26m | Beneath The Surface | love it! |
| Apr 29 20:59:00 | 4m 00s | Ice Fishing Mystery | nice photos, and the tension was intense. reminded me of dayz: lots of doing nothing hoping for some action :) |
| Apr 29 21:05:00 | 6m 00s | Beat To The Bottom (BTTB) | Hmm, i really liked the intro page and the art style, but for me the gameplay was a bit mindless. i just searched randomly until i found the hole, there didn;t seem to be much skill involved. i also really liked the minimal music. if i were you i would use the art and music and make something a bit more engaging... nicely poilished game though, and no bugs. |
| Apr 29 21:14:00 | 9m 00s | NOT THE ELEPHANT | One of my fave Ludum Dare games so far (and I've played over 50). Really enjoyed the game mechanics, and the unexpected dialogue. Great fun. Could have been a bit longer though, but that's LD for you :D |
| Apr 29 21:25:00 | 11m 00s | Beneath this cool, calm exterior | Excellent! Really liked the concept. The actual gameplay was pretty standard, although i liked reading the different texts. A refreshingly different game, and a situation that I can relate to very well! |
| Apr 30 08:36:00 | 11h 11m | Mindwash | Very atmospheric with the lighting and audio. and a satisfying shooting sound. it was a bit too dark to see whatr i was doing though. and i would have preferred to be able to kill the enemies with one shot to start with. good foundation for a nice game though! |
| Apr 30 08:46:00 | 10m 00s | Diving Simulator 2015 | Great game. really fresh key pressing panic. and nicely polished graphics and animation! |
| Apr 30 08:59:00 | 13m 00s | Scary Ugly Face | I really enjoyed that! Amazing amount of stroy for a LD project, and well finished. I guess it was more an interactive story than a game. I was totaly engaged for the whole experience. Good script. Nice one! |
| Apr 30 15:13:00 | 6h 14m | I Hope Drill Sempai Notices Me | Good to see this one finished! REally love the dialogue. I wasn't exactly sure how to be good at the game....but just interacting with the planets was good fun. I htink some sound would really give character to each planet. And as someone else suggested a view of the planets from a distance so that I can have some choice over which planet I meet. |
| May 1 08:57:00 | 17h 44m | Membrane | REally interesting. I liked the fragility of the surface. I would have preferred the ball to move a bit faster, the delay in response to my button pressing became a bit annoying 0 although perhaps that's the challenge, to be ab;e to predict the moves in advance? |
| May 1 09:03:00 | 6m 00s | Dive Deep | Really lovely looking game, excellent choice of colours. i enjoyed the gameplay too (i killed the shark but didn;t last long against the swordfish). the life remaining was hard to determine, as suggested above a % of reducing size would be more clear. |
| May 1 09:04:00 | 1m 00s | Under Skin Survivol | the most abstract game so far! |
| May 1 10:17:00 | 1h 13m | Dowser (Lucy) | Really beautiful looking game, and a charming story to match. Grear dialogue too. I'd like to immersive myself in this world for a few days! |
| May 1 11:32:00 | 1h 15m | Tsunami Cruiser | Brillaint game. Well polished, and a lot of content! A good difficulty level too, and nice variety of bad guys. I really had the feeling of being on a tiny vessel in the Atlantic. Nice physics. Maybe some kind of story would be nice... |
| May 1 14:20:00 | 2h 48m | Infection | Incredible! What can you make in a week!? Very impressive, a finished game! not very innovative, but a really solid game. |
| May 2 13:30:00 | 23h 10m | Yojimbrawl! (2 Player Fighting Game) | WOW, that was great fun! And the first fighting game I've seen on LD so far. really lovely fluid mechaincs, my character felt lighter than air, and faster than light. Great job. Make more! |
| May 3 00:16:00 | 10h 46m | [ Particle Effects. ] | DEAD!...DEAD!....DEAD!>>>:D great game. felt super fluid. would be really nice with some audio. i loved the particles! |
| May 4 13:28:00 | 37h 12m | Something Fishy | Loved the music. wasn't too sure what i was doing regarding gameplay. i couldn't seem to die....Very moody/atmospheric. |
| May 8 08:46:00 | 91h 18m | Series Of Choices | Hi Joe, just wanted to thank you for playing 'save us' and actually completing it, i've left you a longer comment on my page. Thanks again! Philip <br/> <br/>http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=37109 |
| May 8 17:42:00 | 8h 56m | FuMeKuRi (page-turner) | Interesting game mechanics. Great audio, and really nice looking. A little too easy I think, it didn't seem to get any harder throughout the game and levels. I also think it could have been interesting if the sound made when you collect the note is part of the moelody as opposed to being the same cymbal. Really enjoyed it though, had a nice surreal quality to it. |
