|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 25 23:01:00 | Tribe of the Giant | Great entry! First off, the art style rocks. Love the pastel look and style. I wasn't 100% what to do but kept grabbing black guys and eventually won. I think with the art style you should work on this more, or another game in this visual style. Nice effort. | |
| Aug 25 23:02:00 | 1m 00s | Under World | Great job Tiff! Glad to see you with your first LD entry. Liked the idea and the visuals. Would keep improving and polishing it as a personal project. |
| Aug 25 23:08:00 | 6m 00s | Neanderthal Twins | Solid entry. Well done. Liked the Megaman inspired jump frame. Devious to flip the character on the second level after I'm used to the controls :) Bug? On my Mac, the RMB brings up a menu in the browser, so I had to default to keyboard. Challenging game. |
| Aug 26 08:50:00 | 9h 42m | Spacecat Marines | Good job for 48 hours. A lot here. |
| Aug 26 08:58:00 | 8m 00s | Oathkeeper | NIce job for 48hrs. I got 2 pieces/powers, but ended up running around on the blue level for a long time trying to kill all the guys following me. |
| Aug 26 09:01:00 | 3m 00s | Connected Worlds by Jacksack and JordanFitz | Nice art and audio and solid polish. Controls felt nice. |
| Aug 26 09:05:00 | 4m 00s | SUMMER SURFER | Neat game for 48 hours. Like the surf theme. |
| Aug 26 09:08:00 | 3m 00s | 2LOVERS | I like it. Neat idea, and one of the better flipped world games I've seen. I'd continue to work on this and polish it up if I were you. Simple to grasp and I liked the puzzle aspect of it. |
| Aug 26 09:11:00 | 3m 00s | %20 Shooter | I dig it. Nice music and I liked the setting change a lot. Kept me interested. The round enemy should be more pixellated to match the rest of the art :) Keep going on it. |
| Aug 26 09:21:00 | 10m 00s | The Two that Should Not Have Been | Solid! Liked this a lot. Great style and the mechanics were fun. A lot to do. Echo ppl above...continue with this. Lots of potential. |
| Aug 26 09:30:00 | 9m 00s | Complement Chicky | Nice job. Impressive just working out how Monument Valley did things. |
| Aug 26 09:37:00 | 7m 00s | Me And My Ghost | Awesome. Fantastic music and art. Top marks for style. Short levels make replaying them not too painful. Great jpb. Feels done. |
| Aug 26 09:43:00 | 6m 00s | Waterfly Octus | Amazing art as all have said, and great job for 48 hours. I was a little bothered by the difficulty/waiting to get past enemies. Wanted to go-go-go more and not dodge so many obstacles. Nice game. Would work on it more. |
| Aug 26 09:48:00 | 5m 00s | Heart Star | Your games are always great. Loved the art and style and the puzzles are great. Solid effort. One of the best I've seen. |
| Aug 26 09:52:00 | 4m 00s | I Must See You | Super awesome game. Nothing to add. Quality across the board. |
| Aug 26 10:05:00 | 13m 00s | John and the Arbitrary Gem Hunt | Incredible game. THe mood, art, sound, creativity, is fantastic. It's amazing to look up and see a gem on a planet and go for it. If this game doesn't place top 10 then people are broken :) My only tweak suggestion is that I'd likely make the beanstalk leaves with no collision so you could pass through them :) Loved the narration too. TOP MARKS. |
| Aug 26 10:28:00 | 23m 00s | Chipset-0 | f u c k i n g awesome. Love the art (as always) and especially the music and double especially the game mechanic. Solid level design with puzzles that are easy to do with fun to move around mechanics. Stellar job. |
| Aug 28 03:32:00 | 41h 04m | Sinister | Nice art and music for sure. Good entry. |
| Aug 28 04:06:00 | 34m 00s | The Wild West And Its' Living Fossils | I like it. Nice art, music and tech. Good stuff. |
| Aug 28 04:14:00 | 8m 00s | Brawler & Mage | Really nice art and music and idea. Combat could use some tuning but I would work on this some more. Could be neat! |
| Aug 28 04:23:00 | 9m 00s | Awe | Great entry. Clever. took a while to figure out the mechanics but once I did it was fun. Neat idea. Good mood. |
| Aug 28 04:37:00 | 14m 00s | Close Your Eyes | Great idea. Very original. Liked the art, levels and music (mood). Good stuff here. |
| Aug 28 04:59:00 | 22m 00s | Polar Dash | Art and style are amazing. Really liked it. Keep working on this game. |
| Aug 28 05:04:00 | 5m 00s | I Think I Broke Something | Great entry overall. Loved the art and music. Had difficulty understanding about the timer and why it ran out. I jumped through portals as soon as I could. Only made it maybe 5 worlds in? Good effort though. Very polished. |
| Aug 28 05:09:00 | 5m 00s | R-elink: A link between worlds | Great idea and clever mechanic. I can see you doing a lot with this. My primary suggestion is that I think you should lower the phone and get it away from the center of the screen, so it doesn't block the view as much. Good job! |
| Aug 28 05:19:00 | 10m 00s | Data-Man | Nice entry. Very nice take on updating PacMan. Nice visual style and movement. Not sure I like the slowing down when you get near an enemy. I'm sure it was done for fairness and due to speed. I may prefer slower/smaller levels, vs that effect? Great job on this. |
| Aug 28 05:26:00 | 7m 00s | Human and Alien | Nice effort for 48 hours. I struggled with the physics a little bit but you can easily smooth them out. |
| Aug 28 05:46:00 | 20m 00s | InfiLoop | Liked it. Got to the ending. Pretty good puzzles, overall. Nice job for 48 hours for sure. |
| Aug 28 06:01:00 | 15m 00s | Heavenly Finger Squad | Liked the theme and general gameplay here. I think you could maybe tighten up controls a bit? Good stuff. |
| Aug 28 06:07:00 | 6m 00s | Taxi Copter | Really liked the art style and music here. Ended up with something like $120. I wish there'd been a little more clarity when someone was dropped off vs just a sound? Fun to fly around, though, and crazy taxi people :) I landed on the boat :) |
| Aug 28 06:12:00 | 5m 00s | Groups of Seven | Nice graphics and audio and presentation. Almost with there were timer based rounds and you had to guess X items in Y time, or fail the round. There's a lot you can do with this concept. |
| Aug 28 06:21:00 | 9m 00s | Grim Gateway | I like. A lot. The graphics and sound are amazing. Bonus points for being a Jam Entry and providing source. Nice. |
| Aug 28 06:41:00 | 20m 00s | Starpiercer | Game is obviously gorgeous and sounds great. Wanted some score, goal or obstacle. Wasn't sure if there was an ending and sort of stopped after 4 worlds or so? Great entry and work though. Would consider working on it more and maybe port to mobile. |
| Aug 28 07:36:00 | 55m 00s | Connecting LD30 to the Real World | Neat! Not much else to add. :) |
| Aug 28 07:41:00 | 5m 00s | ORBII | Peaceful little logic game. Nice job. |
| Aug 28 08:33:00 | 52m 00s | Cablage | Liked the audio and mood. The framerate was pretty poor in the main room though. I powered the 1st teleporter but could never figure out the second. Heard a beating heart through a wall and saw a gap in the wall I could never reach. Spent a fair big of time looking for it as I wanted to see it all. |
| Aug 28 09:16:00 | 43m 00s | Yond | Liked the setup and sfx/art etc. Failed once and next time I just passed everyone and won. Can't say I understood the consequences/decisions much, but the idea's solid, so you should spend a little time on gameplay and further experiment with it? Has potential. |
| Aug 28 09:30:00 | 14m 00s | Mansion on the Hill | I thoroughly enjoyed that! Had a smile on my face the entire time. Featured everything great about 70s sci-fi :) Loved the art and especially the music. Nice plot beats as you run through the game. Bonus points for being a cool point and clicky adventure story :) |
| Aug 28 09:41:00 | 11m 00s | Hell On Earth | Solid entry. Would like to see better balance on shooting and damage. Have to shoot things too many time to kill them :) Should polish up and work on it some more. Potential. |
| Aug 28 09:45:00 | 4m 00s | Girl, Alien and Robots | Nice 48hr effort. Could use some work on jump physics and platforming, but it's a solid base with nice art. You should work on it some more and see where it leads. |
| Aug 28 09:50:00 | 5m 00s | Virus Quest | Nice art. Pretty smooth to play. Suggest you make a timer so that they don't take dmg every frame when on an enemy. Apart from that, add more art and powerups and enemies and you have a really nice game :) |
| Aug 28 10:02:00 | 12m 00s | Kate | Nice art and audio and effort for 48 hours. Echo most above comments. It's fundamentally not fun to be lost in a maze. I wasn't sure how the map/shifting blocks worked. I think it moved the blue walls in the map and opened up other areas? I found two fountains and called it quits, though. Wanted to see more. |
| Aug 28 10:15:00 | 13m 00s | KLIN DESTINY | Nice art, music, atmosphere and mood. I got a Roger Dean vibe from it all and really enjoyed the sense of scale. Needs gameplay though :) I would keep working on it. This is a solid base to build on. |
| Aug 28 10:21:00 | 6m 00s | Provider Bob | Solid entry for 72hrs. Would like to see combat paced a little differently and less spammy. I basically just ran right, held fire, and never worried. Very good base for a game, though. |
| Aug 28 10:33:00 | 12m 00s | Holodeck Adventures | Great art. Great Star Trek references. You can tell who the characters are, etc. Was neat to run around the different levels looking for stuff. Could see this expanded into a nice little adv game engine. |
| Aug 28 10:41:00 | 8m 00s | 1989 to 2014 | This post pleases me. Having grown up on early 80s arcade machines, I get it :) Nice job. enjoy the cabinet. |
| Aug 28 10:58:00 | 17m 00s | Other Side | Nice art, mood and presentation. Wish there was more game to it, but it's fine as is :) |
| Aug 28 11:08:00 | 10m 00s | Our World | I loved this. Took 3-4 games to get into and reading the instructions a second time. Once it clicks that you are raising/lowering terrain and color matters, it becomes a very cool little puzzle game. I reached the other side after maybe 10-12 tries? I felt like I was learning and getting better each time which is the hallmark of a well made game. Great job. |
| Aug 28 11:26:00 | 18m 00s | Mirror | Really slick. Loved the art and mood. Normally I hate these mirror games because it devolves into really hard jump puzzles :) This one almost did, but I got past it and was rewarded with an ending and I felt more than satisfied! Nice job on the game. |
| Aug 28 11:39:00 | 13m 00s | The Climb | Like those above I made it to where there are 2 ropes pulling you down and could not progress? Is this the end? Nice effort. |
| Aug 28 11:43:00 | 4m 00s | The Chain of the World | Gave you nice marks for art as I really liked the look of it. Nice job just submitting and getting that far. Lots of potential. I'd keep working on it. |
| Aug 28 12:15:00 | 32m 00s | deer hunter | One of my favorite games. The pixel art is amazing. Perfect. The gameplay is also perfect. So fun to run around and use the bow. Great use of Dash, too, requiring it in a couple spots in order to finish. Well designed game. |
| Aug 28 13:58:00 | 1h 43m | Connected Retro Worlds | Neat idea typing the games together. I'd polish and work on it some more as it has potential. I eventually found I could just focus on the middle catching and ignore the rest. Unfortunately the car section presents you with impossible dodging situations so the game is forced to end. |
| Aug 28 14:26:00 | 28m 00s | Midgord Vikings | I loved the art and setting. Controls were hard to wrap my head around but got better after a second game. Scored 32. Wish there wasn't a game timer and some other way to end the game, as I wanted to play and do more. I would work on this more. THere's a ton of cool potential here. |
| Aug 28 14:39:00 | 13m 00s | Run Out in Space | Enjoyed just driving a bit and listening to the music. Good job. Any chance of a source upload? :) Would love to see the track generation. |
| Aug 29 05:28:00 | 14h 49m | Arcaena | Solid entry, and you asked for feedback on Twitter, so hope this helps. First, it's great that you made it feel complete. Has a beginning, middle and end. That's hard to do in 48hrs regardless. Critique: 1) mazes aren't really fun, ever. Especially without an auto-map. So I perhaps would have made smaller mazes to begin with. You also could have opened them up, vs having them be 1 block wide. Open the areas, let ppl have room to breath. 2) the boss combat wasn't really much gameplay. There was never a reason to use anything other than the top spell. You may could have had stun spells, healing spells andpower spells, or something along those lines, and let the player choose based on the situation. 3) having some pickups in the maze (health, gold) and things to fight (they take your health and gold) would go a long way to making it more interesting. I'd spend a couple weeks polishing this and adding some of the above concepts, and your own and see if you can make a more compelling experience. You will learn a lot from that. Everyone above has great feedback. Learn from it and keep going. |
| Aug 30 04:38:00 | 23h 10m | Savior: Saver of Souls | 5 days post compo and no source? What gives? |
| Aug 31 09:17:00 | 28h 39m | The Legend of Light | Fantastic entry. Great idea. Controls took a little to get used to. Nice art, music and implementation. |
| Aug 31 10:30:00 | 1h 13m | Notes from a Mad Mage | Great entry. Really enjoyed everything about it. Frantic doesn't begin to describe it :) |
| Aug 31 10:43:00 | 13m 00s | Behind the Data | I really like the idea of this game a lot (being a cookie clicker fan). Love the art and sound effects and overall presentation. I would continue this on the side and finish it. Something like this could make a neat mobile or pad game for sure. Why not? |
| Aug 31 10:59:00 | 16m 00s | This Little Piggy... | Amazing entry. Loved it. The music was perfect! Cracked me up. The art was perfect (love the flat shaded style of art). Suggest a crosshair when you have guns, and possibly waypoint markers for where things are (but it was fun to explore). Top marks. |
| Aug 31 11:17:00 | 18m 00s | Ludum Galaxy 64 | Who doesn't want to explore space to fucking M E T A L? I know I do. Great job. Fun game. Loved the soundtrack (made the game for me). I often ran out of fuel as some planets didn't sell it? Would have probably explored for an hour if allowed. |
| Sep 5 13:38:00 | 122h 21m | Linker | Nice use of Hexels! Really slick overall and very well done for Jam. Very easy concept to grasp and nice art/music. Good job. Would maybe speed up the lower rounds so you don't get bored waiting. |
| Sep 5 17:19:00 | 3h 41m | Whiteout | Still no source code? People should take this into account when voting? |
| Sep 6 02:59:00 | 9h 40m | On the edge of Earth: 5000 | I pooped into space. Twice. 5/5. Game reminded me of the movie Silent Running (early 70s). The slow walk speed bothered me a bit as I had to wander from console to console a lot. I wish the terminals were marked ABCD and I wish I could bring the instructions up anywhere. Simple polish stuff. Overall, fantastic effort. The art, animation and sounds are terrific. I love being a loner on a space station. One of my fav entries. |
| Sep 6 15:45:00 | 12h 46m | ShiftKeeper | Fantastic entry. Great style, art, mood and general gameplay. Loved the split screen and different attacks/time periods. Awesome job. |
| Sep 6 19:43:00 | 3h 58m | Hello Worlds | Pretty original idea and well done. Was a little hard to understand how the tiles worked at first. Too hard, overall. Well done game. Lots of potential here. I would continue with it. |
| Sep 8 16:25:00 | 44h 42m | Chaos Heart | Super solid entry. Really polished, great art and fun to play. Satisfying to crack a planet and death ray everything in sight. Never gets old. |
| Sep 15 23:13:00 | 174h 48m | Effraction | Solid entry. Very nice music and art. Like others have said above I think some sort of really simple tutorial level would have helped a lot. It's hard to go from a readme.txt file into the game and understand it all. I would continue to work on and polish this though, as I think you have a lot of potential, and very very well done for a Jam entry. |
| Sep 15 23:28:00 | 15m 00s | Rift Knight | So yeah. This is awesome :) Great music and some of the best platforming feel/controls I ran across this Ludum Dare. It's amazingly fun to run around the map and attack things. Well done. I would seriously consider working on this some more. |
| Sep 15 23:34:00 | 6m 00s | Galactic Dump | fantastic job. Great art and music. Was a bit trial and error, but that's fine and this was very fun to play. I could see it doing very well on an iPad and think you should pursue making it for mobile. Very nice job, guys! |
| Sep 15 23:44:00 | 10m 00s | elemens | Enjoyed the graphics, audio and mood. And exploring. Was solid to run around in and explore. I would finish it and polish it up if I were you. No reason not to. |
| Sep 15 23:49:00 | 5m 00s | Intergalactic Delivery Services Corporation | Neat idea. You could polish this up and head to mobile I think? A lot of good feedback above for polish so I won't repeat it. Solid entry and well done 48hr game. |
