|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 25 11:32:00 | Color Bleed | Once I internalized that those dots were people, it sent shivers down my spine. It's a truly modern military simulator, you specify points on a map and people die. A+ | |
| Aug 25 11:41:00 | 9m 00s | Betwixter | Fun game, great concept, intriguing level design. A+ |
| Aug 25 11:53:00 | 12m 00s | Faith Jump | The platforming controls were finicky. I could see myself enjoying the game a lot more if the movement of the wizard was smoother. |
| Aug 25 12:01:00 | 8m 00s | Who We Can't See | Very nice sprites and animations. The characters' directional attacks were hard to use due to the coupling of aiming and movement. But, maybe I'm just bad. |
| Aug 25 12:11:00 | 10m 00s | Disconnected Worlds | I have no clue how you were able to make this using Stencyl. One "bad" choice forced me to restart the game which was unfortunate, imagine a puzzle that resets itself if you make a mistake. |
| Aug 25 12:30:00 | 19m 00s | Story of a Broken World | The art and the music are amazing. But, there wasn't much to do, which is understandable for a 10h game. |
| Aug 25 12:40:00 | 10m 00s | Jet Runner | Fun arena arcade type game with a story. The enemy spawning and behavior in general were annoying to deal with (when I died it felt like I was unlucky rather than felling as if I did something wrong). |
| Aug 25 12:51:00 | 11m 00s | Intergalactic Delivery Services Corporation | I really enjoyed the non-standard mix of strategy and physics-based gameplay. The art, the music and the sounds were top-notch and blended very well together. More gameplay elements to deal with would be nice, it was a little simple for my taste (Pick planet ordering then launch to those planets in order, rinse and repeat). |
| Aug 25 12:59:00 | 8m 00s | Lethal Reflection | Very nice mood, the graphic design and the sounds meshed well together. Solid gameplay reinforcing the theme is a plus in my book. Reminded me a lot of Geometry Wars. Also, Lethal Reflection is a really good title for your game and awesome in general. |
| Aug 25 13:12:00 | 13m 00s | A Tale Of Words | Great voice. Got me to laugh out loud which blows my mind. Interesting twist on the classic Concentration/Memory card game. I'm impressed, I'll be looking at your code later on to learn from it. A+ |
| Aug 25 13:25:00 | 13m 00s | Office Hero! | The execution of your so called not-a-game-thingie (I'd argue the consumer has the right to decide what something is or is not, eg. is this a book or is this toilet paper?) is top-notch. If you ever want to make something-more-like-game then I think you have the skills necessary to get it done. Made me smile and that's an A+ in my book. |
| Aug 25 13:37:00 | 12m 00s | Annex Kharon | OMFGBBQ. Great music, awesome art, fun strategic gameplay and an online leaderboard. #2GUDATLIFE. When I'm reduced to using acronyms and bad hash tags to express myself, it's because I'm really impressed. A+ |
| Aug 25 13:45:00 | 8m 00s | Homeworld Defender | Nice graphical style. I was freaking out at the end, the planets were coming in none-stop and it provoked a strong emotional response from me. But, the audio was a bit rough sounding and by the end I was fearing for the safety of my ears. |
| Aug 25 13:59:00 | 14m 00s | The Wizard Of Clix | I feel like it would have been 1000x funner if the clicking mechanic was replaced by something more substantial like a mini-game puzzle thingie. Although, that would have taken more time than you had available to you. Gain experience, keep working hard and next Ludum Dare you'll have enough time. |
| Aug 25 14:08:00 | 9m 00s | Kit Quack Attack | I like the red on white color design. Cool sounds. Nice art. The duck and the cat are nicely animated. The gameplay mechanics were a little on the light side, it was a bit too simple. I feel like it would have worked better as a series of levels with increasing difficulty containing unique layouts with maybe some obstacles to avoid or maybe teleporter tiles, etc. |
| Aug 25 14:44:00 | 36m 00s | TrainSim 4000 | I like this a lot. I'm really into games with simulation elements. The graphics are simple yet effective at conveying their meaning. Gameplay was perhaps a tad simple but I can see it being expanded/flesh-out easily. A+ |
| Aug 25 14:59:00 | 15m 00s | HEAL | Crazy good pixel art, the animation is great on that sword swing as well as the priest. Maybe even too good because the environment art was lacking in comparison, but it is an LD after all. Gameplay was unexpected and interesting, I would have played more if I could have. |
| Aug 25 15:07:00 | 8m 00s | Connected Retro Worlds | Great concept, solid execution, nice ambient sound. But, I thought it was a too easy, especially for a retro game. |
| Aug 25 15:13:00 | 6m 00s | Bolt | Very solid presentation. Great look. Simple game mechanic but it's been done before and I don't find it that fun. |
| Aug 25 15:21:00 | 8m 00s | I.A.N | Cool idea. Simple but effective art style and game mechanic. |
| Aug 25 15:27:00 | 6m 00s | City Hero | I like the look of the game a lot. More ambient sound would have been nice (of the chimeras attacking, of the people running around and panicking). Standard rotating turret gameplay not especially innovative but it works. |
| Aug 25 15:40:00 | 13m 00s | 1548 La Rue | This worked on so many levels for me. Everything seemed to fit together nicely, the sound, the pixel art, the color palette and the dialogue. A+ |
| Aug 25 18:51:00 | 3h 11m | merge guys | I couldn't figure out how to movement of the characters were linked. But, I guess that was the point. Nice pixel art and animation on the dopplegangers. |
| Aug 25 18:59:00 | 8m 00s | Bi-Bob | Great gameplay mechanic. Controlling both characters at the same reminded me of A Tale of Two Brothers. Well executed. |
| Aug 25 19:11:00 | 12m 00s | Foo | Great level design. Tight platforming controls. Nice pixel art. The music and the sound effects were awesome. |
| Aug 25 19:34:00 | 23m 00s | 13 minutes of light | The letter writing mechanic was unique and separated it from the other visual novels I've played. The art blew me away. The music was minimalistic and appropriate for the setting. I got the high love rating ending and by the end I was shivering in excitement/wonder which is a good sign. Although, I'm confused as to how a physical letter would be less expensive to ship to Mars than some kind of stable storage device with as many electronic messages as needed. Overall, A+ |
| Aug 25 19:42:00 | 8m 00s | Glue The World | Awesome original mechanic, I've never seen anything like this before. Forced me to use my brain which is something I like. |
| Aug 25 19:51:00 | 9m 00s | Links | Broken link, can't play. |
| Aug 25 19:56:00 | 5m 00s | Affix It | Can't get it to run. I've unzipped and tried running the .exe but it throws an error saying I'm missing MSVCR120.DLL |
| Aug 25 20:10:00 | 14m 00s | They Were Just Pixels | Solid game. I enjoyed thinking about the ideas it brought forth. Played through it twice. |
| Aug 25 20:15:00 | 5m 00s | Little Jimmy and the Great Imagination Machine | World switching mechanic was well realized. Though, the combat was finicky. |
| Aug 25 22:41:00 | 2h 26m | Mammoth Monkey Mole | Great art and music. Great level design and game mechanic. A+ |
| Aug 25 22:54:00 | 13m 00s | Dance Dance Invasion | Top-notch from top to bottom, everything. Your pixel art blows my mind, your fullscreen mayor shot, the dancing aliens, the mayor, etc. I'd like to be able to make great pixel art like that one day. No lies, 5 stars everywhere. |
| Aug 26 00:15:00 | 1h 21m | Above & Below | Cool concept, awesome art and great music. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to experience it all due to the difficulty of the game. |
| Aug 26 00:19:00 | 4m 00s | ComboTwin | Interesting twist on the infinite runner genre. The look and feel of the game was great, the music, the sounds and the pixel art worked very well together. |
| Aug 26 00:32:00 | 13m 00s | Connected Words | Great music and voice work. Original interpretation of the theme. Good stuff. |
| Aug 26 00:42:00 | 10m 00s | Salvation | I loved the gameplay. The art and sound was really great. I really liked the rainbow colored noise effect washing over everything. <br/> <br/>Nothing seemed out of place, the game seemed to be very deliberate and planned out. A+ |
| Aug 26 00:46:00 | 4m 00s | Last Connection | One of the few 3D compo games I've played which is a plus. More time would have helped shaped this into something more complete. |
| Aug 26 00:53:00 | 7m 00s | Merge | Great ambient sound. Looks amazing. An interesting twist on the avoid-the-danger-zone genre. |
| Aug 26 01:02:00 | 9m 00s | Ignis | Game was hard. I tried the start of each of the normal levels and tried to get as I could but it wasn't happening. So, I resigned to staring at the main menu for a couple minutes, it's mesmerizing (not to mention the amazing reflection effect). A+ for the menu alone. That broccoli makes me smile real hard. |
| Aug 26 01:50:00 | 48m 00s | IRMCO Space Miners | Technical beauty. I loved the new Unity UI work, impressive considering the time you had to learn it. I'm not sure how you managed to fit all of these gameplay elements together in such a short amount of time without it all falling apart but you managed it. Kudos to you. A+ |
| Aug 26 01:57:00 | 7m 00s | Savior: Saver of Souls | Really epic. Great pixel, great music, great sound. The audio-visual cues and the controls are really tight which bring this "Endless Arcade Action-Platformer" to a whole other level. Amazing All round. A+ |
| Aug 26 02:06:00 | 9m 00s | The Bunny Theory | I liked the minimalist art style. The sound effects and music fit well together. But, the shoot-X-thing gameplay wasn't my favorite. |
| Aug 26 02:17:00 | 11m 00s | Alma | I got stuck at the rat/cheese, I don't know what I was doing wrong. If you want to get better at making pixel art in particular you should check out http://www.pixeljoint.com/. They've got a bunch of great pixel art you can look at, admire and learn from and there is a bunch of great people on the forums who are willing to help anyone learn the art. |
| Aug 26 02:22:00 | 5m 00s | Parallel worlds | Great art style, nice pixel art all, nice color palette. Cool interpretation of the theme. |
| Aug 26 02:34:00 | 12m 00s | Journey to the 5th Planet - My first Ludum Dare! | I'm not a fan of platformers in general but your level design was solid. The different resolution of the pixel art assets is jarring. As for the music, a much easier tool to use that I've had a lot of sucess with is Bosca Ceoil http://distractionware.com/blog/2013/08/bosca-ceoil/, try it out and I guarantee you that the next time you're music will come out as expected. |
| Aug 26 15:41:00 | 13h 07m | Lullaby | This is really something special. The atmosphere, eg. the combination of the art and sound, is captivating. The pixel art is so varied, so unreal and has a very distinct style at the same time. I enjoyed experiencing this. Thank you. A+ |
| Aug 27 14:09:00 | 22h 28m | Synchro Space | Fun and well executed concept. Controlling both ships at the same time was a really good idea. But, the shooting sound was played when I pressed the shoot button whether or not a laser came out of the ship. It's a small thing but it's the small things that turn a good game into a great game. |
| Aug 27 14:18:00 | 9m 00s | Marble Run | This game felt real due to the marble rolling and hitting wall sounds being so well done as well the shifting of the board graphical effect. I really enjoyed it. A+ |
| Aug 27 14:30:00 | 12m 00s | Thinkings | Really cool idea. Making a puzzle game where the clues to solving the puzzles are quotes is really original. Outstanding music as well. |
| Aug 27 14:43:00 | 13m 00s | The Octate Worlds | There's a lot of content in this submission which is really impressive. I like the idea itself and I'm a very big fan of mini-games. And so, the unstable difficulty of the worlds (I got stuck on the purple world) is understandable but a more stable difficulty would been nice (or at least a way to quit of a world and come back to it). |
| Aug 27 14:52:00 | 9m 00s | Intersection | Great idea. Solid execution. The world transition effect looked amazing. The pixel art isn't expert level by any means but don't sell yourself short. It gets the job done and was perfect for this kind of LD game. A+ |
| Aug 27 21:22:00 | 6h 30m | SHIT RUNNER | Just great. The voice and the sounds were really immersive. Everything together was completely hilarious. A+ |
