| Aug 27 12:41:00 | HEAL | Great stuff Julian! While short, the experience is fun and the mechanic is solid. What I'd really like to see though is a world filled with your characters; you've managed to pack a lot of personality into a few small sprite sheets. I haven't been so enamoured with pixel art since Cave Story. | |
| Aug 27 12:56:00 | 15m 00s | Parallel Rift | Good work boys! Solid implementation of an interesting twist on the platform genre. Flawless artwork, great theming, and many directions to go with the gameplay. I'd especially love to see the arcade-feel of the game developed further. |
| Aug 27 13:04:00 | 8m 00s | Connected Retro Worlds | Fantastic idea, with a great built in difficulty ramp. I think the retro art style works against the gameplay here by making all three worlds feel too similar- despite it being a game-over maker I didn't feel very different about the car on the far right screen than the retical or the catching device. A stronger theme might help here. Also took me a while to realise it was the same asteroid falling on all three screens! Do they need to be asteroids, or could they be something more unique? |
| Aug 29 12:40:00 | 47h 36m | Switchboard Connection | Kinda blown away that there are a few other switchboard games on here! Great job injecting humour through the actual calls, also helps to solidify the theme. I think a dragging mechanic rather than clicking fits the theme better, although it's certainly easier to play as it is. Not that it would be possible for LD48 anyway, but I'd love to see this with some good voice acting- some of the calls they get on the old AT&T archives (check youtube) are priceless. |
| Sep 15 01:37:00 | 396h 57m | A Ludic Proof of the Difficulties Inherent in Finding a Proper Skull | I found the metaphor created via the perspective shifts effective, although jarring (and alienating) at first. I would have liked to get know to know the main voice first before it gets corrupted. I love the use of 'fictional facts', they give a great sense of character and place. This could also be a great area for expansion, I suggest looking at the way Borges uses these 'so-boring-they-must-be-true' tidbits of information to flesh out the world, and thinking how could your medium do it better. Great stuff. |
