Apr 21 04:04:00 Saucery Great concept. Love the variation in spells. At first I was kinda frustrated at the short cooldowns, but when I realized each spell had a separate cooldown I really started having a lot of fun. I found a pretty good combo going between hot chili, hamburger bomb, and the cheesy beam thing. I only got to level 11, but I think I probably could have gone further if I played safer and used healing. <br/> <br/>The tutorial was a little long and text heavy, I think I would have preferred a tutorial level to teach me how to use spells. Also would have have been good to have more variation in the waves, but the spell variation kept things interesting anyways.
Apr 21 04:22:00 18m 00s Venari Very pretty, loved the graphical style. Combined with the sounds it created a cool atmosphere. <br/> <br/>I found the talisman, book, and necklace, but couldn't find the flute. I also met the beast but couldn't seem to interact with it. <br/> <br/>The way the map worked was a little confusing. Hard to tell what was the edge of it, and what was a portal to the next tile. I also kept accidentally clicking on myself and opening my inventory when I was trying to interact with something in the world.
Apr 21 04:28:00 6m 00s Shark Lazer Hands Very funny intro. And not only are you a duck wielding laser sharks, but the sharks wield laser ducks! <br/> <br/>Music was good too. <br/> <br/>Gameplay was pretty basic, though. Kinda just felt like some funny sprites dropped on top of a standard top-down shooting game. <br/> <br/>Not bad for 12 hours, though!
Apr 21 04:38:00 10m 00s Newt Scoot Great concept, fits the theme perfectly. The mechanic ends up being pretty unique since you have to worry about the positioning of objects as well as yourself and the enemies. I had to think about where I was shooting things so that I could go back and pick them up later. I played with an xbox controller and it worked great. Oh, and cat is funny. <br/> <br/>The art is great, too. There's a lot objects in the game considering you only had 72 hours. <br/> <br/>Not a whole lot of gameplay/depth with only one level, it's more a prototype than a full game. But still fun. <br/> <br/>Some music would have been nice, and really added to the game's atmosphere.
Apr 26 03:31:00 118h 53m Orb of Power Interesting mechanic, and great use of the theme. <br/> <br/>The two enemies provided some nice challenges, as well as the puzzles. It was pretty fun at first, but didn't seem to have much variety after the first few rooms. I wish the colors and music would change as I advanced in the game. The music and graphics could definitely use some work, but it's way better than a silent game with boxes!
Apr 26 04:10:00 39m 00s Aquatic Regia Obviously not very fleshed-out, but I can definitely see where this was going. Love the concept, and the awesome music really gives it a cool feel.
Apr 26 04:17:00 7m 00s Temporal Gardener Played the first two levels, but started running into some bugs :(. Here's a pic of the issue http://i.imgur.com/BRqKZhe.png
Apr 28 06:39:00 50h 22m Alpha Kite Love the retro graphics with the slight pixel "grid". Controlling the kite was unusual and fun, great interpretation of the theme! Although I couldn't quite figure out how to hurt the other kites without taking damage. AI seemed a bit weird, too. And I would have loved to have some music and sound.
Apr 28 06:43:00 4m 00s SUPER SHOT Simple, but a great concept, and quite fun! A little bit of sound would have really made it sparkle.
Apr 28 06:47:00 4m 00s A Hot Mess A pretty standard top-down shooter, although the "backwards" aiming makes it a little more challenging. Sounds are gross, but the music is good. It's really just a fart joke, but at least it's pretty polished.
Apr 28 07:03:00 16m 00s Tower Of The Screaming Bullets Awesome concept. Took me a minute or two to figure out how to "catch" the bullet. Have to press spacebar, and *then* press c while the bullet is inside the blue circle. The platforming was also a little difficult to get the hang of. But once I figured out the controls, the game became a lot of fun. <br/> <br/>The destructible terrain also added an interesting element. The whole level being one tower with no checkpoints made it really hard, though. Also, I kept running out of bullets. I made it to the green bat guys, but I ran out of bullets while trying to kill them. <br/> <br/>Overall a great idea, and pretty polished too. One of my favorites in this ludum dare.
Apr 28 07:10:00 7m 00s Russian Thug Unfortunately very buggy. Kept getting stuck on dead soldiers, and half the time my ice pick seemed to do nothing. Wasn't able to make it past the third level.
