|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 8 08:31:00 | Seasons Simulator: Winter | Visually this has a nice, retro-style with matching sound effects. It would have been nice if it branched off into surrealism as the game progressed. | |
| Dec 8 08:33:00 | 2m 00s | Gorilla Rampage | The graphics in this are really cute. I can see lots of young kids playing this as it is really apPEELing to that age group. |
| Dec 8 09:10:00 | 37m 00s | Border31 | I like arena shooters a lot, but it's rare that a game brings something new to the table. This is innovative and great fun. |
| Dec 8 09:21:00 | 11m 00s | Crimewave Chicago - Underground | Well presented, but it would definitely benefit from a colour-blind mode. |
| Dec 8 09:27:00 | 6m 00s | Bubblemellow | Nicely animated. The cute graphics contrast with the mild frustration. |
| Dec 8 09:57:00 | 30m 00s | You are Green | Apparently you can't shoot your problems with magic. Clearly that's what I've been doing wrong all my life! <br/> <br/>The animation of the little man is good. |
| Dec 8 10:05:00 | 8m 00s | Twisted Fantasie | Confusing at first, but it hits the theme very well. It could do with being a bit larger on screen for old gits like me. Oddly enough, this might make a good board game. |
| Dec 8 10:13:00 | 8m 00s | Squareon | There are some nice touches in here, such as the way that the tiles are animated. Good game. <br/> <br/>It would be an excellent mobile / tablet game. |
| Dec 8 10:27:00 | 14m 00s | Little choo-choo world | Sound effects are funny. <br/> <br/>It's a big deal that you made a game with these mechanics in such a short timeframe. Everything works pretty well and it looks rather like a board game - it just needs balancing to make it more fun. |
| Dec 8 10:32:00 | 5m 00s | Follow the screen | Interesting mechanic, gradually revealing what you have to do. I can't say more without spoilers. Clever. |
| Dec 8 10:46:00 | 14m 00s | Dark Matter | A nice little puzzler - well presented and rather fun. <br/> <br/>I couldn't solve it myself, but my future self came back and told me how to do it as it remembered me coming back in time to tell myself. <br/> <br/>There's nothing like a causal loop to start the day. |
| Dec 8 11:14:00 | 28m 00s | Game of the Probability Goose | Very nicely presented - the art is excellent - but what a shame that there's no sound as this would have topped off the game's overall experience. |
| Dec 8 11:16:00 | 2m 00s | Snow Buddy Loves You: A Snowoperative Adventure | Cooperative games are excellent. My wife and I really enjoyed playing this one together (ok, she hid and I played and put her back together). Charming little game! <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/B_pV19k5gRo |
| Dec 8 11:33:00 | 17m 00s | Nap Quest | Very amusing and nicely lit. Everything is very small, but it works very well indeed. Great game, even if it's a bit easy to win once you figure it out. <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of this: http://youtu.be/UplHVoRycAU |
| Dec 8 11:35:00 | 2m 00s | Return of the Floppy | Really set that 80s/90s vibe, although that's a remarkably clean circuit board. This is a nice take on the theme and it looks good. <br/> <br/>My wife did a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/exE2rA3HscQ |
| Dec 8 11:39:00 | 4m 00s | Don't wake the cat! | Unity Player crashed on me part way through the game. It might be worth republishing the game. |
| Dec 8 12:43:00 | 1h 04m | ATSS - A Typical Space Shooter | It's a little hard to kill the enemies, but otherwise it's a solid game. <br/> <br/>My wife did a "Mum plays..." of this: http://youtu.be/-__rTAMlHag |
| Dec 8 12:47:00 | 4m 00s | Defend the Earth! | The music is great, and it looks good too, but the gameplay is let down by the "cheat" with the ball. Damn shame, because otherwise this could have been a cracking breakout game. |
| Dec 8 12:54:00 | 7m 00s | Rescue the princess | The look of the game reminded me of Ghosts n Goblins. It's quite a hard game, but that fits well with its old school look and feel. |
| Dec 8 12:56:00 | 2m 00s | Harpoon Raccoon | Great look, great sounds and music, but it's a shame that it's so short! <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/zlSHOfgjfUY |
| Dec 8 12:59:00 | 3m 00s | Seven Lightyears of Bad Luck | The idea is excellent, because you have to balance the need to shoot the enemies with the fact that you're the only one who can shoot yourself. Makes for an interesting, thoughtful shooter. <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." for this game: http://youtu.be/PoPckd4v5gg |
| Dec 8 13:03:00 | 4m 00s | Shopping Preventor! | Black Friday gone mad. It's an interesting idea, but I would have dearly loved to have seen a splash when the shoppers are hurled into the river. |
| Dec 8 13:48:00 | 45m 00s | I am Sigma | A solid entry and a good interpretation of the theme. I am, however, mightily glad that I have a desk job and that you are not (I hope) a warehouse designer. <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of your game: http://youtu.be/flMrNd6UmQE |
| Dec 8 13:53:00 | 5m 00s | DEBATE | It seems that volume and anger triumph over reason and balanced argument, which makes it quite a realistic simulation! An intriguing idea. |
| Dec 8 14:03:00 | 10m 00s | Papercuts | Mood: creepy! |
| Dec 8 14:11:00 | 8m 00s | You Have the Con | It sets a very claustrophobic mood, mostly because you know they're out there but you can't see them. The graphics are absolutely spot on for the game. I would have liked to have had a little more control over the weapons. |
| Dec 8 14:19:00 | 8m 00s | Life Goes On | It's very pretty to look at, but it could do with some calm music to help with the mood. |
| Dec 8 14:34:00 | 15m 00s | PigeonReproducer2000 | I found it a bit quick. If you had more time, then perhaps you could have added complexity. Cute graphics.... good thing there was no bus around. |
| Dec 8 14:54:00 | 20m 00s | Frosty Ninja | Wall jumping is your friend. Although now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Bright and colourful with a snowman ninja. What's not to like! I managed 406. <br/> <br/>But did you opt out of ratings, because I don't see any. |
| Dec 8 19:28:00 | 4h 34m | Do You Want to Build a Snowman? | What an excellent game! <br/> <br/>I made a terrible job of making a snowman. He looked like the creature from the pit, but at least he stood upright. <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/WHu4VKqlFcg <br/> <br/>(and it was one of her favourites so far) |
| Dec 8 19:38:00 | 10m 00s | BREAK| |THROUGH | It played well enough, but I had problems whenever the mouse left the window which happened rather too often. I know that's Flash not you. |
| Dec 8 19:48:00 | 10m 00s | Fido, Fiona & Fidel | An interesting take on a maze. |
| Dec 8 19:58:00 | 10m 00s | Packaged | Short, but well implemented. I like the packing tape noise. <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/j3RLXUCNop8 |
| Dec 8 20:05:00 | 7m 00s | The Biggest Snowman | It's a really, really good idea and I would be interested to see a post-compo version with tighter controls. |
| Dec 8 20:07:00 | 2m 00s | Screen Protector | On theme in more ways than one. |
| Dec 8 20:11:00 | 4m 00s | The Book | I must admit that I wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but I managed to last a while by flinging myself from wall to wall. |
| Dec 8 20:16:00 | 5m 00s | Quantum - The Tail of Schrodinger's Cat | Good game mechanic, but why did you have to make it so small? I'm nearly 100 you know, at least in base 7, and even with glasses...! |
| Dec 8 21:09:00 | 53m 00s | Tightrope Theatre | I was very impressed by your previous entries and was not disappointed by this one. There are wild and wacky Ludum Dare games and there are polished ones, but rarely do the two meet so nicely. <br/> <br/>My wife has attempted to play this game for her "Mum plays..." series: http://youtu.be/VKfIMzutXQ8 <br/> <br/>In fact she may still be playing it now. |
| Dec 8 21:17:00 | 8m 00s | Law Breaker | Is it me or did I kill some members from a religious sect? |
| Dec 8 21:20:00 | 3m 00s | Paws of Fury | Bit of a click fest. But have to love a game with cats. |
| Dec 8 21:23:00 | 3m 00s | Radius Man | Really good for your first game. Very smooth and complete. |
| Dec 8 21:46:00 | 23m 00s | A Place in Space | It is a shame that there is no category for controls, because you absolutely nailed it on this one. The game, despite its lo-fi look, is polished and is a clever interpretation of the theme. The attention to detail is very good, from the screen shake to the spent cartridges. <br/> <br/>My wife, who normally hates this kind of game, really enjoyed playing it. |
| Dec 8 21:54:00 | 8m 00s | Santas Serfs | It's reminiscent of Papers Please, but it's rather tricky to control. Other than that, it's a coherent experience, although don't tell any young kids that Santa looks like Brian Blessed meets Vlad the Impaler. |
| Dec 8 22:09:00 | 15m 00s | Much Ado About Pirates | Beautifully presented. It's very cute how this is set in the theatre. It would have been a nice touch if the ghosts had wires attached (as it's the theatre) but this is really, really nice. |
| Dec 9 20:24:00 | 22h 15m | Chance Encounter | Very nice art style and a good idea for a game. That Pug Queen is vicious! |
| Dec 9 20:34:00 | 10m 00s | T.E.G.O.O.S. | Your game making skills are definitely improving. Keep going! |
| Dec 9 20:57:00 | 23m 00s | When Snowmen Attack | It was a little on the easy side, but it was a lot of fun. Loved the retro art style and the snowman animations. <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/9Ov0P6zVOiQ |
| Dec 9 21:06:00 | 9m 00s | Dogs Peeing Everywhere | Ha ha, very clever idea. Would have been hilarious with lamposts. Nicely presented and loved the music. It's a complete package and a nice little diversion. |
| Dec 9 21:12:00 | 6m 00s | Claustrophobia | It looks absolutely beautiful and has a lot of potential, but it starts really, really slowly. The lighting is just stunning. |
| Dec 9 21:26:00 | 14m 00s | Pengie | Why is my penguin so mad at the other penguins? Am I a psychopath penguin or did they kill my brother? |
| Dec 9 21:44:00 | 18m 00s | Doodle vs Homework | This was a very different take on the theme, and indeed on a platformer. It's complete and well thought out. <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of your game: http://youtu.be/ikVR1T6hCzI |
| Dec 9 21:54:00 | 10m 00s | Snow Need To Rush | I never knew there were so many ways a snowman could meet his maker. The graphics are extremely cute and make the game. <br/> <br/>My wife made a "Mum plays..." of your game: http://youtu.be/1F4aMPeGQEU |
| Dec 9 22:00:00 | 6m 00s | Entire Game Off One Screen | Ha, ha, ha, ha, very literal! |
| Dec 9 22:09:00 | 9m 00s | Starring Annika | The graphics and music were very good - Annika herself was fantastic. However, the gore and the look and feel of the game were slightly incongruous, but it had a certain charm to nonetheless. I have to say that I preferred Arcade Mode. |
| Dec 10 19:02:00 | 20h 53m | BBQ DAD | Simply superb. A game about bacon, and other meats. It's a shame that I have zero cooking talent in real life, but at least I managed to keep my virtual family happy. <br/> <br/>Lots of fun - I enjoyed it. |
| Dec 10 19:12:00 | 10m 00s | Orion | Thanks to your game I have achieved my childhood dream, all from a laptop at my dining room table. That was really atmospheric (if you'll forgive the pun). I liked it a lot. |
| Dec 10 19:16:00 | 4m 00s | Of Carrots And Blood | Well, that was definitely not what I expected from an arena shooter. Quite stylish in its own way, and I like the chiptunes. |
| Dec 10 19:21:00 | 5m 00s | Oh, rats! | It ran rather slowly on my laptop. It's just as well that I'm not running a space warehouse in real life as I really wouldn't last very long. And thanks in advance for the nightmares about humanoid rats! |
| Dec 10 19:33:00 | 12m 00s | Cuberot | This is an exquisite, beautiful game. Absolutely stunningly good. You really have something here. <br/> <br/>I would love to see more levels, and my wife is telling me that she'd pay for it if there are more levels. <br/> <br/>Truly, this is a really lovely game, beautifully implemented. |
| Dec 10 19:43:00 | 10m 00s | Ludum Bark Beams | Apparently my dog can't bark up and down. I enjoyed the early 80s sounds. It reminded me of some of the early games on the original IBM PC, back when I was still dodging dinosaurs. |
| Dec 10 19:46:00 | 3m 00s | Digital Snowbody | I think with a bit of polish this would be a great interactive toy for younger kids. |
| Dec 10 19:50:00 | 4m 00s | Something about Cats | I didn't realise that cat breeding could be quite so dangerous. Nice take on the theme. |
| Dec 10 20:10:00 | 20m 00s | Dread Keep | You nailed the gameboy look and sound, and the animations on the main character were pretty good. |
| Dec 10 20:17:00 | 7m 00s | Disco Kitty Nightmare | The music is good, but the gameplay could do with being a bit tighter. Also, putting it all on the player to figure out what is going on might not be the best strategy. |
| Dec 10 20:28:00 | 11m 00s | Hunt The Yeti | Simple, yet cute and polished. Very nice and a good ad for your engine. |
| Dec 11 21:37:00 | 25h 09m | Rare Earth | I would have liked a bigger screen. The second enemy that I came up against took a lot of killing, then some of the later ones were easier to kill. I also liked the variety. |
| Dec 11 21:50:00 | 13m 00s | Control | I think this is highly innovative and a good idea. The game board might be just a little on the large side to start with, as I found it all too easy to get to a point where neither side was making progress. However, this is an excellent effort - good game. |
| Dec 11 21:54:00 | 4m 00s | Snowman Slide | This game does exactly what it says on the tin. |
| Dec 11 22:02:00 | 8m 00s | Little Snow World | Not entirely on theme, but it plays well and looks great. |
| Dec 11 22:18:00 | 16m 00s | Snowball juggling Olympio | That is just freaking awesome. Outstanding even. There are some good games in this Ludum Dare, but this is probably the most original that I've seen so far. <br/> <br/>I felt so proud of myself when I found that I was juggling successfully. <br/> <br/>What an excellent game. The snowman's face is really well done too. |
| Dec 12 22:23:00 | 24h 05m | Moonlit Crawlers | Very buggy game. :p In all seriousness, the graphics are really nice. |
| Dec 12 22:40:00 | 17m 00s | Kaiser | This a rather cool game. I like the screen effect and the animations of the player character were very well done. And yes, there is some similarity to my game but you've done animation that I could only dream of. <br/> <br/>My wife did a "Mum plays..." video of your game: http://youtu.be/7hIPc3eOxoQ |
| Dec 12 22:50:00 | 10m 00s | No More Boxes | Certainly innovative. It's rather good that the characters change what they do when they're killed, as it keeps you on your toes. It's a little bloody for a game that uses boxes as weapons, but I guess that's a canonical representation of death. Nice game. |
| Dec 12 22:57:00 | 7m 00s | True Story | Lovely graphics. I'm intrigued by the title. Why is it called "True Story"? Did you get attacked by ocelots? |
| Dec 13 08:09:00 | 9h 12m | I shot my Computer | Certainly a good first entry, and, as you say, you'll know what to do better next time. I hope you enjoyed this Ludum Dare and that you'll enter again in April. <br/> <br/>I rather liked the gun noise - it sounded good. |
| Dec 13 08:13:00 | 4m 00s | Bombpopper | It would be nice if the destruction of the buildings was dependent on where the bomb hit, but you have some nice little touches in here, such as the way that the bombs glow on the way down. |
| Dec 13 08:22:00 | 9m 00s | Pong Invaders | An interesting combination of genres. I thought it was a little easy, but given that I'm older than both Pong and Invaders I grew up playing both games.. <br/> <br/>The music was perfect for the game. |
| Dec 13 08:31:00 | 9m 00s | ROCKROCKET | I have to admit that it took me quite a while to find my character in the beginning. The game certainly has a good mood to it, with some nice touches such as the splashing water effect. |
| Dec 13 18:11:00 | 9h 40m | The Second Thought or Please, Don't Touch Anything | Atmospheric and mind bending. It is refreshing to see something different that doesn't go to "cute". |
| Dec 13 18:15:00 | 4m 00s | The Mosquito Effect (mosquito simulator) | The screaming took me by surprise, despite the comments here. Those firemen sure do make a lot of noise when they see a mosquito. |
| Dec 13 18:19:00 | 4m 00s | Fantastic Ludum Dare theme generator | The themes are rather true to the typical Ludum Dare theme. Instead of voting in #LD32 perhaps we could use this next time. |
| Dec 13 18:28:00 | 9m 00s | Tesseract | Hard as hell, even on easy mode, but definitely different. I loved the death scenes. Both the tesseract mechanic and the red light / green light of the eye made for an interesting game. Just a shame I'm not coordinated enough to play it to the end (thanks for providing the walkthrough). |
| Dec 13 18:31:00 | 3m 00s | Lump of Butter | Intriguing. I played 2 player with my wife, and then we were so inspired that we went to the fridge and recreated scenes from the game. Your version was more fun. |
| Dec 13 18:42:00 | 11m 00s | Bugged Out | Well, that's most definitely on theme, at least twice over! The spider animations were good. If I were being critical I would say that I did feel a little disconnected from the action occasionally. |
| Dec 13 18:55:00 | 13m 00s | Beat Bop Delicious | Well, that's a very different take on the theme, but it works well. I like it. It does get rather frantic, but that's part of its charm. |
| Dec 13 18:58:00 | 3m 00s | GraviFlip | Clever mechanic, if somewhat tricky to master. I like the old-school GameBoy graphics - they suit the game down to the ground. |
| Dec 13 23:16:00 | 4h 18m | Narwhal with a Gun | The graphics and music were really well matched, and the music itself was quite catchy. I thought the game itself was a little on the easy side, but it was still enjoyable. The crabs were particularly well animated. <br/> <br/>And any game with bacon in it is going to get my vote. |
| Dec 14 00:02:00 | 46m 00s | Owls Ever After | It's a nice cross between a point and click and hidden object game. The graphics are really good, however from a player perspective it would be nice to either have a bit more clues to see where to click or some form of highlighting to know what are clickable objects. <br/>Overall a poignant tale. |
| Dec 14 00:16:00 | 14m 00s | Doll house: q-Be or not q-Be | I can see where little girls will really like this. My daughter would have loved it when she was younger. Obviously she would want to be able to do things like move furniture, change the colour of things, etc. But it is a good starting point and a really nice easy to use interface. And all in 48 hours. Wow! |
| Dec 14 10:32:00 | 10h 16m | Hazard Hills | Very diverting. This game is simple but very playable. I particularly like that you implemented a core mechanic and created a number of levels from it. I certainly got the "oh, I'll play just one more level..." feeling from it which is definitely a good thing. |
| Dec 14 18:30:00 | 7h 58m | Penguins Can't Fly | It was good to see the passage of time and the parallax scrolling was very well done too. The game gets very frantic once you've disposed of the first wave of aliens! |
| Dec 14 18:43:00 | 13m 00s | GTAlien | Very funny indeed. I think I killed more people by clubbing them to death than by feeding them to Willy, but that's just my general ineptitude. |
| Dec 14 18:47:00 | 4m 00s | TV Top | That's rather frantic and fun. Great job. |
| Dec 14 18:56:00 | 9m 00s | Walk to the door | Well, this is a little gem and no mistake. Highly original and fun too. Great game. |
| Dec 14 19:00:00 | 4m 00s | Mobius Dungeon | Pretty good, with an intriguing mechanic. Crying out for some sound though. |
| Dec 14 19:05:00 | 5m 00s | Screen of Infinite Detail | Strangely compelling. At first it messed with my eyes, but I got over that and found myself enjoying the game. The music is really well matched with the game. |
| Dec 14 19:09:00 | 4m 00s | Trench War | It took me a little while to figure out what was going on, but I suspect that's probably true when you're under fire anyway. Good idea, well implemented. |
| Dec 14 22:30:00 | 3h 21m | Good Old Times | Kids today just don't appreciate the good old times. |
| Dec 14 22:38:00 | 8m 00s | Walk the Plank | That's a whole lot of fun, presented very well. The only weak point is the music, even then it's not bad. I was being overly critical, the difficulty is a little patchy (subtle pirate joke there). Excellent game! |
| Dec 15 20:19:00 | 21h 41m | RobFishing | A little bit of sound would have helped tremendously, but this game has charming graphics and is fun to play. |
| Dec 15 20:25:00 | 6m 00s | RIZUMUDEKATTO | Nicely implemented, and fun too. The music and visuals work really well. |
| Dec 15 20:34:00 | 9m 00s | SPIN-2 | Interesting concept. I like how you integrated the music with the game. |
| Dec 15 20:41:00 | 7m 00s | Space Opera | My landlord about 20 years ago was an opera singer, but I don't think he ever had to fend off rockets! <br/> <br/>First, the bad news. The game was fairly easy to play and didn't seem to progress much. But the good news is that the graphics are impeccable and have a lot of character, and the actual idea of an actual Space Opera is pure bonkers craziness! <br/> <br/>Next, I want a bit of Handel. Early space opera would be great. |
| Dec 15 21:37:00 | 56m 00s | H.T.P | To answer the question, my friends were right about you! <br/> <br/>This was an engrossing game. It was a bit repetitive in places, but I played to the end (I think) and I definitely enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't add anything or take anything away - just make it slightly less of a grind to unlock things. <br/> <br/>I wonder if a game like this would work in episodes, in which you unlock an unfolding story. <br/> <br/>Again, very enjoyable. |
