| Aug 26 05:25:00 | Alter Axis | Very fun! I love games with cool control schemes like this one :) | |
| Aug 26 05:28:00 | 3m 00s | Antipode | More levels please! Loving the play style |
| Aug 26 05:31:00 | 3m 00s | Circular Logic | Very cool idea! The controls felt too hard to master, but it was fun nonetheless :) |
| Aug 26 05:44:00 | 13m 00s | Color Runner | Difficult to master, felt like the wall jump was a bit off but fun! |
| Aug 26 05:51:00 | 7m 00s | Connect teh Worlds | Wow, that is extremely difficult, but as others said it was really rewarding when beating levels :) |
| Aug 26 05:54:00 | 3m 00s | Hold My Beer | I got the first cystal, stepped on the slimes, climbed the building, died in a fire... and then couldn't figure out what to do... |
| Aug 26 05:59:00 | 5m 00s | Fender Bender | The boost seemed to drive the game wild and leave me uncontrollable. |
| Aug 26 06:03:00 | 4m 00s | Ethernet Quest | Haha, fun game. The popups are especially clever! Love the idea and the execution :) |
| Aug 26 06:06:00 | 3m 00s | Elemental | Really loving this game! Typing games have a special place in my heart, and this takes the cake by mixing it with classic rpg dungeon crawlers! :') |
| Aug 26 08:00:00 | 1h 54m | Darkness | I love that if you destroy the platform the enemies are standing on you can make them all plummet to their doom... or so you think, until an elevator brings one of them back up and he snipes you dead! <br/> <br/>Haha, lots of fun :) |
| Aug 26 08:05:00 | 5m 00s | Connected | Looks very cool, and could have some really great puzzles. Hope to see this get expanded upon post-LD! |
| Aug 26 08:10:00 | 5m 00s | DimLey | The levels actually got pretty good after the first few introductory ones were done. The square hitbox conflicted with the round visual but it was still fun! Well done :) |
| Aug 26 08:15:00 | 5m 00s | Too Close to Die | After trying to go slow and be defensive, and losing five times, I just held down the accelerator and made it all the way to the other side! Hooray for random asteroids :D |
| Aug 26 08:16:00 | 1m 00s | Cohack | Pretty nice game! I think it had a lot of potential to be fun and interesting. I sort of wish I knew which units were mine, and which units did what specifically. (I spent the first couple minutes just randomly clicking things.) But once it started rolling I thought it was funner! The idea is there, and I thought it was well executed. Great job! |
| Aug 26 08:19:00 | 3m 00s | Substitute Night Watchman | That was really hard, but really fun! I only managed to survive 3 minutes. Having three of them after me really put the pressure on! :D |
| Aug 26 08:26:00 | 7m 00s | Familiaris | Haha, another wing-animal here! That guy was lucky to have me. Nudging him forward at every turn :D |
| Aug 26 08:31:00 | 5m 00s | Demonicron | Even though it's in a rough state, it has potential to be pretty cool and it sounds like you're going to keep working on it so Good Luck! |
| Aug 26 08:33:00 | 2m 00s | For Our Fragile Worlds | It was definitely strange, but in a good way. I liked the atmosphere and the dialogue of the strangers in the game. My first playthrough I fell off the game's stage! (I don't think I was meant to fall in between two of the platforms, but I did.... |
| Aug 26 08:39:00 | 6m 00s | Sunborn: The tale of connected worlds | Very brooding game, the pacing seemed pretty well done but it was hard to judge hit areas and the movements seemed a tad too quick. Otherwise a pretty fun killing spree. |
| Aug 26 08:43:00 | 4m 00s | Linker | Lovely lovely game! I like the hexels artwork, and the game has a really great concept behind it. the music was good, and I thought it was challenging and fun to play! My only complaint was that the game screen was pretty big. It was too big for my resolution (1280x800) so it was a bit difficult to scroll up and down to properly play the game. |
| Aug 26 15:15:00 | 6h 32m | Meowrror | The meow did get repetitive but I still played it to completion! Very fun and cool use of the theme :) |
| Aug 26 15:27:00 | 12m 00s | Double You | That was actually really well done! The clones mimicked the exact movement which was very cool, I've played too many clone games where the clones didn't do exactly what I did and it was really hard to play. <br/> <br/>Made me think of The Swapper (probably because of the cloning + space suit), well done! |
| Aug 26 15:32:00 | 5m 00s | A Game of Worlds Colliding | Agreeing with xxmicloxx here, I have java7 set to be my machine default so it wouldn't open. When I tried used java8 it worked, if you recompile it with java7 more people will be able to play it out of the box since 7 is installed on almost every machine while 8 is only on a smaller set. |
| Aug 26 15:37:00 | 5m 00s | ConnWars | I love the idea, it feels like Eufloria :) <br/> <br/>That being said, it was brutally difficult! Haha, never gonna win this one. |
| Aug 27 06:17:00 | 14h 40m | Inspirational Planets | Took a bit of clicking and moving the mouse around to figure it out but it was a lot of fun. I really liked the end screen filled up with all the words :) |
| Aug 27 06:21:00 | 4m 00s | Sphere Harmony | Definitely agree with Bozwellox, I picked it up pretty quickly but I still feel like a novice at it! Definitely a lot of fun :) |
| Aug 27 06:29:00 | 8m 00s | Onanigan | Trying to go around bends while upside down gets really tricky. And I wish I could just use left and right to go up and down. <br/> <br/>Overall it was pretty fun, and with that ominous bigger creature looming it got pretty intense :) |
| Aug 27 06:43:00 | 14m 00s | Prismatic Worlds | Besides the slow movement it was pretty cool! <br/> <br/>I've played around with box2dlights before, looks like you're making good use of it here :D |
| Aug 27 06:56:00 | 13m 00s | Planet Sweeper | Wow, I love everything about this game! It has space, it has physics, it has cool graphics... this is amazing, well done! <br/> <br/>The AI might be cheating a bit, but I still managed to win! Hooray for the human race :D |
| Aug 27 07:07:00 | 11m 00s | Divided We Fail | I think the jumping makes the controls too sluggish, but overall it was pretty fun. |
| Sep 1 07:11:00 | 120h 04m | Fight those Pirates | Haha, love the ships you chose! Fun little ship shooter, very classic :) |
| Sep 1 07:19:00 | 8m 00s | Crisis Culture | That music... am I watching Nilesy? <br/> <br/>Over all it was pretty interesting and zany fun. Makes me want to take the Space Week off to watch ping pong :) |
| Sep 1 07:27:00 | 8m 00s | ConnectTheWorlds | Some of the later planets made it hard to judge how much you could thrust before not being able to anymore. It was fun but a bit finnicky. |
| Sep 1 07:32:00 | 5m 00s | The Nether | Agree about the controls not being ideal, but the mechanics were cool :) |
| Sep 1 07:42:00 | 10m 00s | Delightful Harmony | That was really awesome! Never seen a game play like that before. And the distance mechanic was very simple and easy to grasp. Would love to see more levels! :) |
| Sep 2 07:30:00 | 23h 48m | Souzou Cliff | Very lovely game! It reminds me a lot of a mashup between the movie "Upside Down" and "To The Moon". The art is lovely, and the dialogue was well written. The music was also ESPECIALLY great. I didn't care for having the portrait art there (even though it's not done) since it sort of distracts from the lovely pixel aesthetic you have going on, and the controls felt a bit slippery. I died quite a few times before the dual platforming even began! |
| Sep 2 07:36:00 | 6m 00s | A Hat's Trick | Sweet mood to the game. It was a bit difficult to control two of the characters at once, but i think with time and practice isn't so bad. Great work! |
| Sep 6 17:34:00 | 105h 58m | Connect the worlds, rule the universe | There is nothing wrong with continuing to develop an LD game! Just make sure you preserve the original game for people to know what you made during the competition itself and mark the further developed version as post-compo or something. <br/> <br/>In fact, finishing a game you started during LD is wonderful! :) |
| Sep 6 17:59:00 | 25m 00s | Overlap | That was really awesome! I love when games take an idea and push it to the limit, the puzzles were super inventive and really fun to work through! I really hope you keep going with this idea :D |
| Sep 6 18:04:00 | 5m 00s | Back and forth | The idea sounds really cool but the game seems too random and unfinished as well as the controls being extremely slippery and physics-based instead of under player control. <br/> <br/>Hope the idea keeps getting developed though, once I got on a platform and reversed it was really cool to fly up instead of just fall down! |
| Sep 6 18:19:00 | 15m 00s | Fire ze Missiles! | That was a lot of fun! At first I didn't know what I was doing so I couldn't figure out how to connect the parts together, but then when I realized that resources went where they were needed automatically (thanks enemy AI) it all took off. <br/> <br/>I won a couple of times and lost a couple of times, both were super fun! Love that impacted spaces become unusable, really makes you question your placements :) |
| Sep 6 18:24:00 | 5m 00s | Dreams or Reality: The Adventure | I like the idea of going to a dream world for gathering up courage points to then tackle real-world challenges. Wish there were more content! :) |
| Sep 6 18:27:00 | 3m 00s | Little Beetle Saves The World | The visuals were a bit jumpy when moving but the mechanics were good. I figured out that the light and dark panels could only be crossed through with a medium tinted block but it was still hard to see them when rushing through a level to avoid the enemies. <br/> <br/>Hope you keep developing it! :) |
| Sep 6 18:36:00 | 9m 00s | The Great Space Salad | The controls were a bit slippery but the mechanics were fun. I like the difference between the comet survival and the platformer stages but the comet survival was a bit too easy. |
| Sep 6 19:16:00 | 40m 00s | Multifaceted | I love playing this one! It is so simple but so fun. And those portals look awesome, they make me want to go through them :) |
| Sep 6 19:19:00 | 3m 00s | A Game about Making a Game | That house layout remind me of Chasm, did you get inspired a little? :) |
| Sep 9 05:23:00 | 58h 04m | STREAM | I love the concept and it's just as difficult as expected, but it really does lack that purpose that gives a game long-term playability. Understandable from an LD and I hope you keep developing the idea into a more fleshed out game! :) |
| Sep 9 05:25:00 | 2m 00s | Or Else They Will Disconnect You (for Oculus Rift) | It'd be nice if you could add a video of what the gameplay looks like so people who can't play it can see :) |
| Sep 9 05:28:00 | 3m 00s | Space Trader | A bit of a ramp up until I understood what to do, but it was fun. Managing resources, especially with more than one pool, is beyond me though so I suck at it <br/> <br/>Nicely done! :D |
| Sep 9 05:32:00 | 4m 00s | Pogo the Universe | It was fun to slow the speed down so much that you'd stutter on top of the planets, the spammed pogo sound was just funny to boot :D |
| Sep 9 05:38:00 | 6m 00s | TERA - World's Intelligence | Really unique game! I enjoyed the choices and, as others have already said, the visual and music were really well done! :) |
| Sep 9 05:41:00 | 3m 00s | Rubber Slimes | Haha, "This is a really hard game" is quite the understatement! That or I'm just terrible at games. Still, it was a lot of fun. <br/> <br/>Love that you listen your brain as a tool you used, it sucks when you forget to bring it to a competition! ;D |
| Sep 10 05:21:00 | 23h 40m | Steam | Firstly, the art is lovely!!! Major kudos to your artist. :D <br/> <br/>I really enjoyed the story. I sometimes have troubles playing through visual novels due to the amount of reading involved, but I was really engrossed in the story. I think you've done an excellent job with the theme and building a world around that. |
| Sep 10 05:27:00 | 6m 00s | StarShrimp Trooper | It was a pretty fun game! I thought it was slightly too simple since you were guided to which star you should be going to. I felt like I was being led around while dealing with lobsters moreso than being engaged in a deeper level. The art is great though, and the theme was definitely there! |
| Sep 11 14:46:00 | 33h 19m | Shifting | Didn't really know what I was doing so I just spent some time learning about the world. Hunched blue guys kill you, pulsating ground tiles with different color palettes take you to different maps when stepped on, and that the worlds have ends. <br/> <br/>I wish there was more to do but it was still fun to go exploring. |
| Sep 11 14:55:00 | 9m 00s | Dimension Jumper! | When doing community based competitions like Ludum Dare, it's in your best interest to make the game as easily playable by a lot of people as possible. Putting it in a .rar file is already going to turn away a lot of people. Requiring Java 8 is just another layer of difficulty. |
| Sep 12 20:40:00 | 29h 45m | The Marred World | Hope to see the idea keep growing post-ld! :) |
| Sep 12 20:42:00 | 2m 00s | The Jackal | With some more time and polish this could be a hit! Agree with the others, don't see the connection to the theme at all. |
| Sep 14 19:59:00 | 47h 17m | Dead Land | I'm liking the art direction for the game! Lots of good choices, and it really created a great atmosphere for us to be immersed in. :) |
| Sep 14 20:04:00 | 5m 00s | Tiles at the Juncture | I'm a huge sucker for Match X games! :) Liked your take on it, as it was challenging but also different than what I'm used to. Music was pretty great, and overall it was fun! Great work! |
| Sep 14 20:06:00 | 2m 00s | Connection Failed | Graphics were super cute! It's unfortunate that you couldn't finish. :( It definitely felt a bit clunky, but hopefully you guys got something out of the entire experience. :D |
| Sep 14 20:32:00 | 26m 00s | Roy, Gee, Biv | Great atmosphere. It was definitely confusing like other said, and I almost ran out of patience before I started seeing some progress. It was interesting! |
| Sep 14 20:33:00 | 1m 00s | Duel at the Apocolypse | This game looks like it would be best suited for more players! I did have fun on my own, and I like the art style you guys have going for the game. I played for a while, but sort of wish there was a way to fail/win. |
| Sep 14 20:37:00 | 4m 00s | Line Crossing | Amazing art! Really enjoyed how it looked, and it really contributes to the mood of the overall game. The fact you guys got multiple endings to be achieved in a variety of ways is really fun, and adds to the replayability. Great work! |
| Sep 14 20:46:00 | 9m 00s | Connector | Absolutely beautiful game! As the artist of our game, the aesthetic the game really spoke to me. The game itself was really fun with great polish, and it was definitely such a pleasure to play! Your team did a great job! :) |
| Sep 14 20:53:00 | 7m 00s | Space Delver | Really great game! The mood of the game is really well established in all of the little art choices, so I really appreciated the extra thought in that. The game itself was pretty fun. I had some iffy moments about the controls, but it just took some time to get over that hurdle. I might consider tweaking it a bit in a post-compo version, but I think you all did a great job in the time you had! |
| Sep 14 21:21:00 | 28m 00s | Crossworld Club | The game art really reminds me of Earthbound for some reason! I really like the way you used the theme. It's definitely refreshing to play something new! I would love to play a longer version of this game that carries the idea through! Great work! |
| Sep 14 21:30:00 | 9m 00s | UltraRealistic Moon Wrecking Ball Simulator | Hilarious game! It's not often we get to run into a game that has a good amount of humor in it. :) Game is simple and fun, and it was enjoyable overall. Great work! |
| Sep 14 21:32:00 | 2m 00s | People Manipulation Sim | Learning how to play was a bit difficult. I would suggest gradually introducing ways to play instead of doing it all at once. Sort of think Super Meat Boy and how they gradually have you learn parts of the game! It's definitely more work, but something to think about in the future. :D Overall great work! It was fun to play. |
| Sep 15 05:51:00 | 8h 19m | Earth Defense Team 2492 | That was pretty fun! The swarm was easy to control with mouse and it felt very natural. Agree with NnelGdaBandit about the formations, being able to to toggle between some presets would have been cool for different attack patterns. <br/> <br/>Also, POOP |
| Sep 16 00:36:00 | 18h 45m | Delivery | I think this is the one of the few times someone has recommended IE to fix a problem over Chrome. I enjoyed that :) |
| Sep 16 00:38:00 | 2m 00s | Die in another world | Really great mood and art style! The mechanic was interesting, which made it all the more fun and enjoyable to play. There's a good level of polish too, I thought! Great work! :) |
| Sep 16 00:38:00 | 0s | Exin | The idea is really neat, but the gameplay was a bit confusing. |
| Sep 16 00:39:00 | 1m 00s | ORBII | Very beautiful game! I'm a sucker for games with this kind of visual and artistic polish, and I think you made it just as fun as it was beautiful! My one comment would be to adjust the kerning on your instructions, as they're a bit hard to read. :P |
| Sep 16 00:41:00 | 2m 00s | RymdPlasma | Agreed about the ramp-up in difficulty being too high, but in an LD I know how hard it can be to get that kind of thing right! :) |
| Sep 16 00:41:00 | 0s | DON'T. BREAK. MIRRORS. | Cool concept, and the ending was cool to get to! Like someone else said, having a way to skip the intro would be really neat. It's something that's more for a "polished" experience, but I think it really contributes to the overall enjoyment. :) Great work! |
| Sep 16 00:43:00 | 2m 00s | Worlds Apart | It definitely felt like it was a game jam game, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. You have a pretty interesting concept there, but it really needs some polish for it to really shine. (Sometimes I say it's easier to notice the negatives than it is the positives :P ) I thought it was great work though, and the visualization of the theme was interesting. |
| Sep 16 00:45:00 | 2m 00s | Convergence | It took a lot of work for me to find someone to play with hahaha. Although I applaud your attempt at having a multiplayer game, I would consider a way or a mode to play with a single player. The music was nice, and the mood you set up was also great. |
| Sep 16 00:45:00 | 0s | The Octate Worlds | Really impressive entry! Agree with the others who say it's a good take on the theme, very fun :) |
| Sep 16 00:49:00 | 4m 00s | Hey Lucky Lucky | Silliest take on the theme I've seen yet, but tons of fun! Nice game :) |
| Sep 16 00:49:00 | 0s | Mor | Seriously. Amazing game. I'm only sorry that I got around to this so late, but it was one of the best games I've played during the compo. It's hilarious, the art is spot on, and you really thought about the theme in a different and unique way. I can't express how cool this game is! :D |
| Sep 16 00:50:00 | 1m 00s | Sun Saviors | Yeah, I don't see the connection to the theme either, but for 2 hours of work it's certainly a pretty good game! |
| Sep 16 00:51:00 | 1m 00s | Invasion | Pretty funny game. :P The graphics sort of bothered me a bit. Not because they were jarring or bad, but because it felt like a lot going on at once color wise. Besides that, it looks great and it plays well! |
| Sep 16 00:54:00 | 3m 00s | Wifimon | One of the best uses of the theme I've seen, good thing I've got an Android phone! I've seen artists use wifi before but never a game, reminds me of the old monster rancher games where you'd scan other discs to generate them. Very cool :) |
