|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 9 08:44:00 | Do You Want to Build a Snowman | All values are appearing as undefined for me! <br/> <br/>Would be nice to have even a brief description, as well. | |
| Dec 9 08:49:00 | 5m 00s | Dogs Peeing Everywhere | The AI is pretty brutal! Or maybe it's just random and I suck. |
| Dec 9 08:57:00 | 8m 00s | Guns & Bricks | A good idea, but the floaty controls and time constraints make it way too hard! I don't think I ever got past three or four levels in a row. |
| Dec 9 09:08:00 | 11m 00s | Snowmän! Factory | A fun puzzle game with a novel idea! I did get super stuck on level 4 though... |
| Dec 9 11:34:00 | 2h 26m | What is in the end? | Took me a few goes to work out the controls, but an interesting idea once I understood it. Having the black hole instantly absorb in only one direction isn't particularly intuitive! Perhaps add animation showing things being dragged into the black hole, or replace the black hole with a giant laser that vaporises in each direction? <br/> <br/>Lots of scope for a very playable game here, if you choose to continue working on it. |
| Dec 9 14:45:00 | 3h 11m | Turing 404 | Brilliant - I love it. Burst out laughing when I told a mugger I love him. |
| Dec 9 14:56:00 | 11m 00s | Screen One | Great little game, although I hope no-one ever has to endure that kind of cinema experience! <br/> <br/>Perhaps a little too hectic - it felt like I spent the entire game just fighting fires, and never had time to think about moving people around to 'better' seats. |
| Dec 9 15:04:00 | 8m 00s | PixelFighterZ | Interesting take on the 'eat stuff to get bigger' style. Cool visuals, too! It's a shame the scrolling is so jerky, and the controls don't feel very responsive. |
| Dec 9 15:09:00 | 5m 00s | PAROLEBALL | A really great idea, although the physics are a bit 'floaty' for a pinball game. <br/> <br/>No gamepad here, so I couldn't really play properly, which is a shame. |
| Dec 9 15:16:00 | 7m 00s | Dude | Good fun, with plenty of potential. At first, I was cursing the fact that it isn't a twin-stick shooter, but I think that adds an important level of difficulty. <br/> <br/>The main problem I have is the hitbox on the player character. At the moment it seems like enemies are able to kill you by touching your guns or your head. I think you'd get a lot more playability very quickly by simply reducing the size of that hitbox to cover just the area around the player's feet. <br/> <br/>It's the same problem that plagued E.T. on the Atari 2600 - you could fall down a pit by touching it with the top of your head, when your feet were nowhere near! <br/> <br/>Apart from that, I actually enjoyed the few minutes I spent with the game. Fun back-story and tight controls. Well done. |
| Dec 9 15:26:00 | 10m 00s | Marelda | A fun little action-platformer. The randomly generated nature of the levels isn't too obvious, which is nice. |
| Dec 9 15:32:00 | 6m 00s | Snowman Saving | A very good little entry. The concept is easy to grasp, and trying to avoid the kids is fun. <br/> <br/>Perhaps a little too easy to get stuck when trying to move around objects, but overall a solid effort. |
| Dec 9 17:06:00 | 1h 34m | Orion | Fantastic visuals and atmosphere, although the game itself is somewhat lacking! <br/> <br/>Has the same sort of appeal as playing something like Euro Truck Simulator or Train Simulator - a fairly relaxing experience that immerses the player. Sadly, constantly having to manage the pitch feels like something of a conceit, tacked-on so that the player has something to do during the flight. <br/> <br/>Apart from that, a fantastic effort! An amazing accomplishment for two days work. |
| Dec 9 17:30:00 | 24m 00s | SCREEN HEAD | A hilarious concept, and the end result looks brilliant. <br/> <br/>I hope you develop this further! |
| Dec 9 17:35:00 | 5m 00s | Mobius Dungeon | Very interesting idea, but makes my brain hurt! |
| Dec 9 17:41:00 | 6m 00s | Chance Encounter | What a fun, silly little game! It's a pity you don't get a quest log to look back on at the end. |
| Dec 9 17:47:00 | 6m 00s | StealthMan | This is a novel take on the classic Pac-Man formula - although it's very strange that you didn't implement 'classic' Pac-Man movement (he should always be moving). <br/> <br/>The main problem is that the pellets respawn, so there's really no sense of accomplishment while playing. Still very fun for a little while, though. <br/> <br/>(Oh, and I managed to score 1844 before I made a stupid mistake and ran into a ghost!) |
| Dec 10 09:00:00 | 15h 13m | League of Miniheroes | Looks and plays very well. It's always a challenge doing multiplayer for Ludum Dare, since there's never any guarantee that there will be other players online for judging. <br/> <br/>Could really use an opening help screen, as it's not clear at all what players should be doing (apart from attacking enemies)! |
| Dec 10 09:19:00 | 19m 00s | Infection | Good concept here - it's a shame you didn't get to do more on it. |
| Dec 10 09:43:00 | 24m 00s | Can't find the channel | Not terrible for a simple maze game. I like how you can take 'shortcuts' by moving through some parts of the static. |
| Dec 10 09:56:00 | 13m 00s | Cool The Cats! | Really unique idea - I love it! |
| Dec 10 10:04:00 | 8m 00s | Super Snow Girl | Fun little game! Would definitely play more. |
| Dec 10 10:10:00 | 6m 00s | Cursed Islands 2 | Fun, and I like the graphics - it seems like a long-lost handheld game. <br/> <br/>Way hard, though! <br/> <br/>I would definitely play a game like this with multiple maps/randomly-generated quests for quick (5-10 minute) adventuring. |
| Dec 10 12:30:00 | 2h 20m | Penguins Can't Fly | The website isn't loading for me at the moment. I'll come back and try later! |
| Dec 10 12:40:00 | 10m 00s | Law Breaker | Really reminded me of classic GTA and Retro City Rampage. Incredible amount of work for 48 hours. |
| Dec 10 14:37:00 | 1h 57m | Pagoda Strike with Snowman | Nice idea, but Ctrl+W (shoot + walk up) closes the browser tab! |
| Dec 10 15:16:00 | 39m 00s | LaCkLIGHTTT | Really interesting concept. I grasped the gameplay quite quickly, but I can see why other people are finding it confusing. <br/> <br/>Reminds me of the sort of fun little game you might find on the Atari 2600. |
| Dec 10 15:28:00 | 12m 00s | Overworlord | Really fun idea! I'd love to see this developed further into a sort of 'run your own evil empire' management game. |
| Dec 11 14:56:00 | 23h 28m | Super Javali Racer Deluxe | Fun idea, but the gameplay needs some work! Stamina drains way too quickly to actually get around the track - I discovered it was much faster to just keep hammering 'boost'. |
| Dec 11 15:00:00 | 4m 00s | Daedal | Very nice looking game. The transition between levels is great! <br/> <br/>Found myself really struggling once I had to use 'upside down' controls, though. |
| Dec 11 15:06:00 | 6m 00s | 1Screen Theft Auto | A fun idea - would be nice if there was something more to do! |
| Dec 11 15:09:00 | 3m 00s | One of Many | I don't really like twitch-reaction type games, but I found myself enjoying this. Simple idea, well made. |
| Dec 11 15:20:00 | 11m 00s | Someone is in the house! | Really interesting idea, but the controls make it a bit of a pain to play! I also couldn't find the bullets, and I'm pretty sure I searched every location :( |
