Dec 9 03:33:00 Let There be Pixels Hey, that was pretty neat! Like Forge said, the way the audio evolved that awesome. It reinforced the feeling that I was progressing!
Dec 9 03:41:00 8m 00s Hit and Slide TIM! HOW DID YOU GET SO MANY SNOWBALLS?! I had some lag, but that was fun!
Dec 9 03:52:00 11m 00s Kill The Snowmen I like the idea of having to spend time away from shooting to collect ammo. You have to balance the two things out. Fun! I got a score of 34300.
Dec 9 03:57:00 5m 00s Puddle maker I really liked it! I think you're kind of thrown into the game out of nowhere. I didn't know exactly what I had to do. That went away quickly though. Very very fun after that small confusion. I only got 44 puddles though. I call hacks on 222 puddle high score!
Dec 9 04:07:00 10m 00s Kaiser You seem to have opted out of sounds, but the way some visuals were synced to the music was really awesome! I couldn't last through even one song, sadly, I wanted to see what the next song was, or what happened after the first one.
Dec 9 04:28:00 21m 00s Helga Kills Everything That was very fun! It felt quirky and humorous. Great variety of enemies! The only drawback is that I wish there was a way to see how much health you had. Music also stopped after a while. <br/> <br/>Still, thumbs up from me!
Dec 9 04:49:00 21m 00s Peaceful Night It seems like you got the foundation down for something greater. You could make something good by continuing development post-LD. Keep up the good work!
Dec 9 04:54:00 5m 00s Space Opera The graphics were really beautiful! It was a good take on the theme. "Space Opera"... very unique!
Dec 9 04:59:00 5m 00s Block Party EGOS It's a very neat concept! I wish I had some friends to play it with right now. One critique though, I wish I could move the tetronimos from side to side a little bit easier.
Dec 9 05:07:00 8m 00s Octogonal Switcher It is a very unique game. I might be very bad at but, but I could only finish lighting up the little thingies in the bottom 3 sections. No way I could ever get to the top section. :P
Dec 9 05:14:00 7m 00s Welcome To Shady Pines Very fascinating puzzles. Quite difficult too, I think. In a good way. Either I'm no good at them or I didn't understand them well enough.
Dec 9 05:23:00 9m 00s The legend of Adlez: Knil's adventure Very cool game! I did start getting squinty-eyed after playing it for a while though. Luckily, A wizard taught me some "street magic", and my eyeballs were very pleased!
Dec 9 05:27:00 4m 00s Pixel Platform One of those "Super difficult but in a good way" games. However, at least for me, the little pixel seemed to be floating above the supposed platforms. I didn't get too far. I want to know of the incredible beings who did beat this game.
Dec 9 05:35:00 8m 00s Squishi Dat transition! First time I saw it made my jaw drop! I also loved how the starting platform would fly down to pick you up when you messed up. beautiful visual detail. Like everyone else though, I want sounds on this!
Dec 9 05:46:00 11m 00s Colosseum Brawl Simple concept, a lot of fun. I love the rolling. I became a boss at evading that way after a while. I got a score of 13700! Not sure if that's a good score or not though.
Dec 9 05:55:00 9m 00s Chad Brags Let me just say that this is one of the more... interesting games I've tried. I found it really funny. I am not sure if your choices matter at all? Maybe it is a statement about the futility of breaking down another's ego or something? No idea. <br/> <br/>If your choices do matter, then I respectfully suggest you think about the feedback your game gives to the players. How would you clearly keep the player informed on what is happening? Anyway, that's my criticism. Apart from that, great work!
Dec 9 06:00:00 5m 00s Dread Keep This little game was superb. Graphics and sounds and gameplay felt very retro and tied well together. The game is short, but all the building blocks are there if you want to keep expanding on this!
Dec 9 06:07:00 7m 00s WordNoms This is neat! The way the words move makes the game a bit disorienting, but that's a good thing! Otherwise It'd be too easy. You said this was "semi-complete". You should expand this idea, keep going, and see where the game goes!
Dec 9 06:16:00 9m 00s Stasis This mechanic is excellent! Simple concept with a lot of depth! It is a small, but elegant game!
Dec 9 06:53:00 37m 00s Mr. Scroll This was awesome! Very cool concept, and solid execution of it. I'd love to see this idea expanded post-LD31! <br/> <br/>I got as far as the coins. Not sure if that's the end or if I just didn't figure out what I needed to do.
Dec 9 07:46:00 53m 00s Bugged Out Really simple, enjoyable, fun. And it is executed beautifully!
Dec 9 08:59:00 1h 13m Blackout Legitimately terrifying for such a simple game; love the dynamic use of light and dark... There were a few bugs with the enemy on occasion where he wouldn't move, but the mood is definitely there.
Dec 9 09:16:00 17m 00s INtire Amazing game, so clever. My only thoughts so far would be to maybe start off with a 1-Player or 2-Player selection screen, to make things a little more clear... And maybe some basics that explain the game step by step until the player gets a better feel for how the game works. The GUI is just a bit cluttered before the game actually starts. <br/> <br/>Learning curve is pretty steep, and the responsiveness of the animations and actions is kind of on the sticky side, making it hard to time throwing the goats... <br/> <br/>But the concept and execution is brilliant and hilarious. Not to mention that funny music. And it's in a tire. The intire game. Love it. Just needs a little more work.
Dec 9 10:33:00 1h 17m Forest Mind Very soothing experience. I felt a little lost, but I enjoyed exploring what the game had to offer and figuring things out for myself.
Dec 9 10:43:00 10m 00s Mini Thief Oh I was so close! The game is fun. Tensions build up as you progress. I personally had very bad framerate issues. Not sure if that is a sign of code inefficiency or a sign of me having a bad computer.
Dec 10 01:26:00 14h 43m Color Wheel This is a neat and unique concept! It was fun to play. <br/> <br/>I have some respectful critique though, I hope you don't mind: If you just purely focus on avoiding the black and forget about everything else, the game becomes easy, and any points you would have gotten by focusing on color matching you gain over the long term instead. Once I figured this out I had a score of 200,000 with 15 lives left. And since. judging by your description, I had reached the top difficulty, I felt I could have gone forever. <br/> <br/>One possible way to combat this would be instead of using a score as a measure of how good you play, maybe use time? At the start of the game, you'd set a timer of say, 3 minutes. It ticks down, but you get extra fractions of seconds when you match the colors. Black could actually deduct the time, in this case. So the player is trying to push back the timer from inevitably ticking down to zero. Your "score" then would be how much time you actually lasted. <br/> <br/>But apart from that, you did a great job! It was a fun game to play. Well done!
Dec 10 01:34:00 8m 00s Slime Ball A little simple but clever concept, executed well! It is short and fast paced, which makes it very addicting. If you expand this idea a bit I could totally see myself playing this on my phone while waiting for a bus.
Dec 10 01:45:00 11m 00s Bernard's Tomb I am a HUGE fan of the little monster noises.
Dec 10 01:58:00 13m 00s Hackception Its a neat concept. It is very visually interesting. I feel like the "screen" (can I call it that?) doesn't update fast enough. So it is hard to tell what is going on. Although maybe that's just me not listening to TUTORIAL and going too fast. <br/> <br/>The game also crashed on me during my playthrough, by the way. I was in the blue-looking part, and presumably I typed the exit command where I wasn't supposed to. <br/> <br/>Still, great job!
Dec 10 02:04:00 6m 00s Level One Turret It was fun to play, but the timer made it difficult to enjoy it! I feel like it locks you out from the later levels. I think I maybe beat the game? After a certain level the word "YOU" appears on the screen and then the game resets. Not entirely sure what that meant. But still, good job! It was satisfying to hit the target with with trick shots.
Dec 10 02:14:00 10m 00s Labyrinth THAT INTRO BLEW MY MIND. The soundtrack was superb! It really makes the game even better.
Dec 10 02:27:00 13m 00s Don't Let They Escape It's simple fun! I like it. However, not everyone has a keypad on their keyboard, including me. :( Maybe have a secondary set of controls for those people? <br/> <br/>In any case, well done! It was fun to play.
Dec 10 02:34:00 7m 00s Glitter Pixel Will Save The World The sound effects really humanize the pixel. That was a nice touch. I think the controls are a bit slippery, its hard to aim your jumps correctly. But it was fun to play! Thanks for the game, and well done!
Dec 10 02:42:00 8m 00s Project Candyfloss I think you should be proud of this being one of your first games! Keep up the good work!
Dec 10 02:49:00 7m 00s Ghost Digger Neat concept! I seem to be really bad at avoiding the ghosts once I've encountered them.
Dec 10 07:32:00 4h 43m Bedungeoned This is pretty neat! I like 3D mode better. I really like the persistence of the fireballs after shooting them. It was a nice touch. The little cooldown bar at the top of the character freaked me out slightly until I understood what it was. I thought it was an enemy because it looks very similar them. Maybe make it slightly different somehow? <br/> <br/>Great job! Keep up the good work.
Dec 10 07:58:00 26m 00s NO AMMO NO ARMOUR NO SIGNAL This was pretty cool! Super fun to play. I liked the secret tip at the end. The one thing I want to critique is the difficulty. At least for me, it seemed somewhat easy. I had saved up over 200 bits because I didn't need to use ammo or replenish my shield. Most enemies you could simply evade. Maybe add a smart, pathfinding enemy? The last fight with the other tanks was a good challenge though. <br/> <br/>Great job! You had me playing till the end, and some. Keep up the good work!
Dec 10 08:30:00 32m 00s Lab Do keep going with this! I enjoyed those sly-moving blocks. The visuals are very pretty. <br/> <br/>Keep it up!
Dec 10 08:38:00 8m 00s Baby Simulator I played the game. Then I went through an existential crisis, realizing that I had just played a game in which I cry and poop as a baby. <br/> <br/>This will leave an impression on me for the rest of my life.
Dec 10 08:58:00 20m 00s Go farm! There was a lot of detail to this game that really made it enjoyable. The wind chimes, the bobbing up and down of the world, the key customization... all that was great attention to detail. <br/> <br/>Well done!
Dec 10 09:13:00 15m 00s Mobius Dungeon That was a great experience. Very cool concept. I escaped the dungeon. The game cries out for sound, but being made in 48 is very impressive!
Dec 10 09:27:00 14m 00s Second Screen Exists Neat game. It is almost like an interactive riddle! The compo version cried out for sound, which you added to the extended version, so that was nice. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Dec 10 10:29:00 1h 02m Clayball Fighter I like how each character has their own type of weapons, that was a nice detail. Good job!
Dec 10 10:39:00 10m 00s Lost Path The dynamic narration was a great touch. Music, sounds, and visuals tied together really nicely. I was a little confused on where to go at times, but I enjoyed playing this. Really well done!
Dec 10 10:45:00 6m 00s One Last Stand The graphics were nice, but I wasn't entirely sure how play. Somehow I won? Maybe? Doesn't anything happen after wave 9? In any case, good job, keep up the good work.
Dec 10 10:51:00 6m 00s The Game About Space And Bravery It's a neat game, but very difficult. I could never do well enough buy a single turret! Maybe lower the difficulty a little bit? Or maybe I'm just bad at the game. But good job, it was still fun to play!
Dec 10 10:56:00 5m 00s Raptor Polo That was really cool! Fast paced, and lots of detail. Scoring points felt so satisfying. Great work!
Dec 10 11:19:00 23m 00s Hunt The Yeti This is super awesome! I just keep on playing. One note though, I think falling into the ice is very unforgiving. Maybe it should make you lose one point of health, rather than make you lose. <br/> <br/>Still, the quality of this game is astounding! Well done!
Dec 11 05:49:00 18h 30m AXROW The graphics are excellent!
Dec 12 01:19:00 19h 30m Screen Mover Very cool concept, executed flawlessly. I want to see this with more levels!
Dec 12 01:35:00 16m 00s WASD Starting out playing this game, I didn't not know what I was getting myself into. Very quirky. I had a fun time! That was pretty good. Well done!
Dec 12 04:52:00 3h 17m Attack Of The Regurgitor! I felt a bit stuck when moving after growing a bit. But the different characters for time travelers was exactly what The Doctor prescribed!
Dec 12 04:58:00 6m 00s Gungeon The graphics and sounds went along nicely together. Game is hard, though!
Dec 12 09:26:00 4h 28m Zombie City That was pretty good! keep working on this post-LD! It'd be fun to play with friends.
Dec 13 00:56:00 15h 30m Contact Cowboy Very simple but very fun. Executed elegantly.
Dec 13 01:04:00 8m 00s Snow Need To Rush Simple good fun! The graphics were really nice, although it could have used a bit of sound. Still, good work!
Dec 13 01:10:00 6m 00s One Room Dungeon This is awesome! Short, difficult, fast-paced gameplay. Super addicting and fun! Attention to detail, like the screen shaking, is a huge plus! Nicely done.
Dec 13 06:34:00 5h 24m 0000 : Press Z I finished the game with 78 retries. It is a difficult but fun and addicting game! One thing that I found really frustrating was that I kept getting teleported to levels I had already completed and I was forced to either do something I had already done or sacrifice my current score, die, and hope the next level is not a repeat either. So take that as you will. <br/> <br/>Still, this was really fun! Well done!
Dec 13 07:03:00 29m 00s birdsong Incredible game! Fits the theme, graphics and sounds tie in together well. Very fun. Very difficult game too, but in a good way, I think.
Dec 13 07:26:00 23m 00s Space Taxi It is quirky and fun. Nicely done! Although after getting a second companion I began to think that the taxi company doesn't pay me enough money.
Dec 13 19:50:00 12h 24m No-Face Man A good twist on a classic! I got a score of 47610. It is pretty fun. It is a bit difficult to make some turns without speeding past them though. Still, very fun, well done!
Dec 13 22:01:00 2h 11m Fantastic Ludum Dare theme generator looks like somebody didn't like this Ludum Dare's theme. ;) <br/>Still, thanks for the laughs!
Dec 13 22:47:00 46m 00s bricky block I am a HUGE fan of Threes. And this is an interesting twist on it. It almost feels like an alternate mini-game that would be in the real Threes. Bricky Block is difficult, but it's well made. Nicely done!
Dec 13 23:02:00 15m 00s Hampered If you continue developing this, I suggest using the S key for down instead of X, since it is the usual default key of choice for down. Changing that key messes with people's expectation, and increases the entry level for the game. <br/> <br/>But I hope what I said doesn't discourage you. Well done, keep up the good work!
Dec 14 00:39:00 1h 37m Mr Fish's Awful Adventure That was fun! The game yearns for sound though. Still, I had a good time, and had a good laugh at the end! Nicely done.
Dec 14 06:06:00 5h 27m Two Hearts That last level where you have to control both of them was difficult! But I made it through after a few tries. The ambient music was very fitting. Only one critique, you should not let the player be able to move until the level transition is done. I was able to sneak through a couple of walls before they were in place. Still, good game! Well done.
Dec 14 06:25:00 19m 00s RPG Platformer Thing The game has some bugs. But practice makes perfect, so good job, keep at it!
Dec 14 06:33:00 8m 00s SnowTiles This is a very interesting puzzle mechanic. I like it. It creates some very interesting (and super difficult) puzzles. Couldn't finish it, but well done.
Dec 14 06:42:00 9m 00s An RPG For Ants I wish I could resize the window, it hurts my eyes after a while! But its a neat little game. I like the special abilities, and how it is randomly generated (I think).
Dec 14 07:01:00 19m 00s Meeses It's a fun game. Although it is a bit difficult having to be *right next* to the enemies in order to hit them. For some reason, the mouse reminds me of Rodent's Revenge, that one game from 1991. I used to play that game so much when I was a tiny human. Ah... memories.
Dec 14 07:15:00 14m 00s Lumen The narration is a nice detail. I wish you could move while they played. Although I know that means you could trigger multiple ones at the same time. Maybe they'd have to be shorter sound clips to counter this. Or maybe just end the oldest sound clip when a new one is to play. Or maybe pause the game for a specific few important narrations, but have shorter narrations that don't pause the game too? I'm not sure. It's an interesting problem.
Dec 14 07:35:00 20m 00s Expression Quest The evolution of music is great. Nicely done!
Dec 14 07:47:00 12m 00s Orion I reached Mars! Great concept! It was very enjoyable.
Dec 14 08:04:00 17m 00s INVADERS LD31 So yeah, as others have mentioned, the lack of lighting makes it hard to play. However, the exploding enemies is a nice touch. Good work on that!
Dec 16 00:38:00 40h 34m Boring Tanks You seem to have run out of time when making this, but at least you got a solid foundation for something fun. Keep working on this!
Dec 16 00:43:00 5m 00s Dog Astronaut Nicely done. It is a short but easily re-playable game! I got 84 as my highest score. The graphics are pretty nice.
Dec 17 05:25:00 28h 42m Ludum Dare to Believe - SEASON 3 Help! I'll save you! Ha. ha. ha. ha. <br/> <br/>If I could rate you guys, I'd give you 6/5 stars. Ludum Dare to Believe forever!
Dec 17 06:18:00 53m 00s Orb Fetch: GOLD That was a super neat twist on the ol' thruster-momentum game genre (is that an actual genre anyway?). Very unique. Well done!
Dec 18 06:01:00 23h 43m Together In Thousands This is a very interesting concept! I think I need a bit more guidance in order to understand the gameplay a little better, but overall, this was fun to tinker with!
Dec 18 06:13:00 12m 00s Chromashift That was surprisingly fun. And addicting! Well done.
Dec 20 20:33:00 62h 20m Beat Bop Delicious Its a simple but fun game. I like the progression of music, that was a nice detail. I merely made it to 1:14 on my first try though.
Dec 20 20:43:00 10m 00s King of the Cave Give Life Back to Music, by Daft Punk? <br/>Also, there's a 3 block wide jump you have to make near the top of the level that got a bit frustrating. I reached the boss after a while, but there were some bugs during the fight, I think. Still, I think you overall did a good job! Keep up the good work.
Dec 20 20:54:00 11m 00s Terra This was very unique and interesting! I wish there were a couple of sounds here and there, but overall, it was fun to experiment around with different elements.
Dec 20 20:59:00 5m 00s Metal Killer Bee vs. The Gangstas This would be nifty on a touch screen! I got a score of 24. Well done!
Dec 20 21:04:00 5m 00s Defender This is good, great effort on your part. Keep practicing, and don't stop!
Dec 20 21:45:00 41m 00s Stop Moving? It got really difficult at that last part, but man was it satisfying reaching the end. Good job, that was pretty fun!
Dec 20 21:48:00 3m 00s Gifts Galore! Simple but fun. Difficulty ramps up super fast at one point!
Dec 22 08:56:00 35h 08m Too Many Cooks Its a little difficult to figure out what to do at first. But the graphics are nice! Those cooks need to get out of my way!
Dec 22 09:00:00 4m 00s The Disk of Phaistos This is interesting! However, the visual transition between the two game modes is a bit jarring to the eyes. But nevertheless, good work.
Dec 22 09:02:00 2m 00s Aaron San Filippo, Raphael Azcueta, Forest San Filippo This is pretty cool! graphics are nice and the music is great! The pace of the game is fast. Maybe a bit too fast. But awesome job!
Dec 22 09:09:00 7m 00s On One String I like how it makes a sentence. I got really far before finding out that there's no way to die, but still, nice job!
Dec 22 09:13:00 4m 00s navicool It's a little choppy and buggy but I think with some more practice and dedication this can become better, you should keep it up!
Dec 22 20:06:00 10h 53m AbseilRace This is pretty unique! Simple gameplay but pretty fun. The game cries out for sound though.
Dec 22 20:11:00 5m 00s Ball Bouncer 3D Relatively simple concept, but surprisingly fun for how simple it is. I got a highscore of 15. This game cries out for sound though!
Dec 22 20:20:00 9m 00s SNOMAN Very QWOP. Can't QWOP. So can't SNOWMAN. 6m is max. Well Done.
Dec 22 20:35:00 15m 00s Light Switch Very well done! I actually got really into it and I got pretty creeped out. I had to shut it off before finishing. :O <br/> <br/>Absolutely hated (that's a good thing) walking into rooms, since you couldn't see before you did. <br/> <br/>The sounds were very appropriate and added a lot to the game. It could have used a bit more direction though, I had to walk back and forth many times at a very slow pace because I didn't know what to do. Still, awesome job!
Dec 22 21:11:00 36m 00s Flycursor The gameplay seems to have potential with some refinements, but quitting the game itself every time you die is not exactly the best... Since the game seems to be short-paced, just a quick reset so you can start and try again quickly would be more beneficial, I think.
Dec 23 04:57:00 7h 46m Crumble This is super cool! I want more!
Dec 23 06:27:00 1h 30m Sharks on Ice I think this gameplay would be really fun if it is polished and the problems already stated by others are fixed. Its seems like a fun game if implemented correctly. Keep improving it!
Dec 23 06:42:00 15m 00s Attack Of The Cubes The invisible walls on the top and bottom were the bad part, but I like the idea of using barriers to hold them back!
