| Dec 9 02:11:00 | 2 Towers | Vaguely fun, it's pretty satisfying when you knock down a tower. I agree that the game seems pretty unbalanced because basically whoever shoots first wins. It's great that you learned and had fun with the challenge though! And the music is really nice-- kind of intense but also very simple and catchy. | |
| Dec 9 02:16:00 | 5m 00s | Frosty Ninja | LOL, the audio is so funny and strange. Thank you for including the lyrics. I love the flip on the snowman to change directions too. Great gameplay, a little on the hard side (which IMO is a good thing). Definitely fun and strange in the best way possible. |
| Dec 9 02:23:00 | 7m 00s | Fido, Fiona & Fidel | To be honest, I clicked the thumbnail for your game because it looked so weird, like a piece of 1990s Microsoft Word clipart. But when I played it, I was like, holy crap, this is actually really fun. I love that the concept of 'all on one screen' goes two ways-- the actual game is on one screen, and the game you can't see is on the TV screen. Fabulous execution of the theme! |
| Dec 9 02:31:00 | 8m 00s | Second Screen Exists | Nice mood but I'm afraid the puzzle is totally lost on me. I couldn't figure it out at all. I love your interpretation of the theme, though. Life in different dimensions is interesting. OH and I like your particles! |
| Dec 9 02:41:00 | 10m 00s | Meaty Tears | OK, I got 4, now I give up. The game is definitely hard but it doesn't seem unfair. I really like that you respawn at the last button you pressed-- adds some interest to the gameplay. The wall jumping is floaty and hard to get used to but I like the character's quick movement speed because it makes the hundreds of character deaths seem less cumbersome, LOL. Great concept. |
| Dec 9 02:47:00 | 6m 00s | SnowMelt | Score: 36. SO FUN! I love this clever take on a shooter/tower-defense type game. The speed of the game feels really nice, with more and more kids coming at you (these kids are BRUTAL, by the way). Sometimes the kids get stuck on corner tiles and they spin around in a beautiful little ice dance. Those ice blocks are hard to catch! But yeah, the game seems really nicely balanced. Great job! |
| Dec 9 02:50:00 | 3m 00s | Treasure Quest | Got a blank screen here too, in Chrome/Firefox/Safari. That's a shame, because I love adventure games and the thumbnail has such nice art! |
| Dec 9 02:54:00 | 4m 00s | LonelyPlanet | WOW! Beautiful game. The mood is so perfect. The graphics are all so stylish, and the music is thoughtful and soothing. I like the idea of the gameplay a lot, but it was hard for me to time the jumps correctly, so I never got above a score of 4 or 5. And I like the name of the game too, though it reminds me of my favorite travel book series, Lonely Planet... Hmm, wonder why. Anyway, I adore this game. And it works fine in Chrome for me. What's the font you used for the non-logo text? |
| Dec 9 03:02:00 | 8m 00s | I've Seen This Room Before | Great execution of the theme. It's clever that the same level changes to become a new level. I liked the simplicity of the game a lot. I tested the Mac version and unfortunately I think the textures don't load? They're just primitive black and white shapes. Or is that on purpose? OK, clearly I didn't make it past level 5 either but I did enjoy the concept a lot. |
| Dec 9 03:09:00 | 7m 00s | Petite Juliet | I found a space on the bottom-center where I can stand and all of the enemies get stuck in the middle, so I can type this, haha. The gameplay confuses me a little bit but the controls do work nicely. Obviously the constantly-shifting fractal is incredible! It contributes so much toward the mood of the game, too. I have no idea how you did that but I really like it. OK, I made it to level 4, and I'm happy with that. Interesting little game. |
| Dec 9 03:18:00 | 9m 00s | Super Resizer | The concept is absolutely BONKERS in the best way possible. I was laughing my ass off trying to play this on Chrome for Mac, because level 3 makes the window go nuts and resize itself all over the screen (maybe because the scrolling text in the title bar?) Firefox worked beautifully on Mac, though. I got a high score of 15. Brilliant execution of the theme; I've never seen anything remotely like this game before. OH and I love the particles on the edge of the screen! |
| Dec 9 03:22:00 | 4m 00s | Avalanche | Weirdest game I've ever seen in my life. And yes, dying is more rewarding than (probably) reaching the goal, because the 3D sound warping is incredible. "Maximum enjoyment" indeed. Definitely do fullscreen if you can't see the whole picture. |
| Dec 9 03:29:00 | 7m 00s | Contact Cowboy | Fabulous game! Such polish for a game created in 48 hours. I made my husband play 2P and he easily won because you just wait for 1P to pick up the bomb in the middle and shoot them. I think if you just try to kill each other and forget about the other objectives, it becomes really hilarious and a little more balanced too. LOVE the pixel art of the gun and knife on the home screen. |
| Dec 9 03:38:00 | 9m 00s | Robot Karma Joe | Yay, I won! I loved the sound the monster made at the end, like slowly letting the air out of a balloon... Nice audio and I love the intro-- both make it feel like you're playing an old-school arcade cabinet. In awe of all the excellent graphics you created in such a short amount of time. Really nice work. |
| Dec 9 03:43:00 | 5m 00s | Tiny's Adventure in TV Land | Took me like 4 minutes to figure out you could jump on the clouds. D'OH. Interesting little game, and though it's really easy, I've never seen anything like it. And I like that you tricked people into building a snowman... ☃! |
| Dec 9 03:49:00 | 6m 00s | Kill The Snowmen | Score: 48000. I take it you didn't like the snowman ☃ theme? :P The game is fast but it feels balanced and fair. Getting an avalanche powerup is really satisfying! |
| Dec 9 14:38:00 | 10h 49m | Spaceship Jumpy Survival Thingy... Ish? | Intensely frustrating but also pretty fun. I like the simplicity of the controls a lot. |
| Dec 9 14:43:00 | 5m 00s | TURN it UP | Great concept, never really seen anything like it. I got 8 green points! Overall I think your game has really great balance for a Ludum Dare game, something that's hard to do. It's very addictive. |
| Dec 9 22:35:00 | 7h 52m | DotKeeper | Time: 4:29. Simple concept, very simple graphics. I had fun but I could definitely see this as more enjoyable with touch controls. |
| Dec 10 14:36:00 | 16h 01m | TONKS | A clever little game that's actually really beautiful too. The color and typeface choices are really stylish and could appeal to a wide audience. The web version was completely broken for me but the OSX version worked just fine. Obviously mouse mode is not optimal unless you have a way to hide the screen from the other player, but keyboard mode was really fun. If you continue to work on it, I would get rid of having to hit enter/return after a turn just to make gameplay more fast and amusing. Really nice game! |
| Dec 10 14:41:00 | 5m 00s | Beautiful Yoga Explosion | The destructible terrain was so cool! Excellent use of the theme, keeping everything on one screen but making the level alterable so it doesn't get boring. I found moving and aiming at the same time was really hard though. |
| Dec 10 14:43:00 | 2m 00s | Snowman Battles | Online Multiplayer Game | I wasn't able to enter text in the text fields for some reason, and of course no one was online, so I never actually got into the game. But I love the blocky art style in the screenshot! |
| Dec 10 14:47:00 | 4m 00s | SpaceGamma | Nice game, I had a little trouble figuring out whether I was moving or not until I noticed the speedometer at the bottom. Reminds me of last Ludum Dare's theme, "Connected Worlds." Anyway, the sound in the game is nice but ultimately I couldn't kill the space pirates in time so I never actually made it to J-2. |
| Dec 10 22:18:00 | 7h 31m | Collector | The Mac version worked just fine for me! The sound effects are great. I love little sandbox games like this. And the FIRE LOOKS AMAZING! |
| Dec 10 22:26:00 | 8m 00s | Galvatross | I like the menu animation & music a lot-- reminds me of going to the arcade back in the day! The controls are a little sticky and hard to get used to but I like how chaotic the game got over time. And I love the dog-bat-things. :D |
| Dec 10 22:33:00 | 7m 00s | One SCREAM! for the game | Having two weapons is an interesting ploy, and the gameplay is mildly fun, if not a little difficult. I couldn't manage to win. Reloading takes WAY too long IMO! The theme is sexist, and though I know it's parodying a trope, it's just not appealing to me at all. |
| Dec 10 22:40:00 | 7m 00s | Meeses | Fantastic game!! The use of the theme is really clever and reminds me of some of the little games you could play on those After Dark screensavers.... Anyway, it truly is one of the most fun LD games I've seen so far, with increasing difficulty and a variety of enemies that keep gameplay fresh. And the graphics are adorable! |
| Dec 10 22:43:00 | 3m 00s | Snoika Man 2014 | Pretty fun and the controls work really well. There's not a whole lot of variety but I did enjoy playing it (even though I wound up with negative points half the time). The sprites are cute too. |
| Dec 11 14:54:00 | 16h 11m | Leaving | Playing this game is about to make me late for work, but I just can't stop! The gameplay is fresh and interesting, and I LOVE the little guy's smashing hammer animation. The art is so well done and the ethereal color palette really adds to the mood. Agh! I love the whole thing! |
| Dec 12 22:34:00 | 31h 40m | Survival Camp: A Day-Night game | Nice little game! Your health seems to decrease so fast if you don't get fire/food, and that made the game really hard. I couldn't make it further than a day or two. But I adore the concept, and it was actually fun to play! |
| Dec 13 01:37:00 | 3h 03m | Not Making It | Put a shirt on! Here's a list of things I liked: the simple style, the goofy music, the cactus, the completely un-intuitive controls, the particle effects and the Wilhelm scream. The gameplay would be repetitive if not for the quickly increasing difficulty (I made it to 13). Man, that guy has a really tall ceiling! |
| Dec 13 01:44:00 | 7m 00s | Snowman Defense - Ludum Dare 31 | Nice graphics! The game is genuinely fun, too, until you run out of ammo. I couldn't figure out how to balance the number of snowballs shot vs. gained. But the game works well, with no flaws! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it post-compo. |
| Dec 13 02:01:00 | 17m 00s | Sad Little War-Bot | LOVE the mini cutscenes that advance the story. The aesthetic and audio are no less than bizarre. Charming, but totally bizarre. The gameplay, however, is fantastic! I love the variety of enemies and the utter chaos the game evolves into. Great game! |
| Dec 13 02:16:00 | 15m 00s | The Infestation | Such a bleak concept, but I really enjoyed it. Totally unique concept, never seen anything like it. The controls are straightforward and the difficulty seems really balanced. Super fun game! My score: 10100. |
| Dec 13 02:22:00 | 6m 00s | Valley of Trolls | Great game! At first I couldn't tell which color I was, but I figured it out eventually. I'm super impressed you managed to make a fun, well-balanced multiplayer game for the compo! Now, if only I could win... :) |
| Dec 13 02:34:00 | 12m 00s | Press the buttons ! | I like the concept a lot, and the arrow controls work great. I found that it was pretty hard though, because the enemies sometimes block the buttons. |
| Dec 13 14:37:00 | 12h 03m | SumoAttack | Nice game! The controls work nicely (with WASD and arrow keys) and the objective is very clear. I particularly like the old CRT TV effect-- nice play on the theme. I enjoyed it! |
