Apr 19 21:50:00 Emitter Very nice! Took a while before I started getting the hang of the logic (played level 2 many times), but after that it picked up. I like the visuals (and have to admit that I am slightly annoyed by the fail-sound!)
Apr 20 06:37:00 8h 47m Oddest Jobs I really enjoyed the mechanics! And the visuals too. Such a gentleman.
Apr 20 14:55:00 8h 18m Coin Cannon Nice ending :) I really like the stylistics of the game. The graphics and the music blends together really well. The gameplay was fun, but felt a bit thin compared to the rest. Nevertheless, a pleasing experience to play it. Well done :)
Apr 20 15:01:00 6m 00s Unconventional George Well done :) I like the visuals. I had some problems with shooting effectively, it seemed like half the times I attempted to throw some poop he moved instead.
Apr 20 15:10:00 9m 00s Weapon Regulator I liked this a lot! Both the style and the gameplay itself. Also, the feeling of moving in an ongoing battle, it is interesting. Well done!
Apr 20 15:20:00 10m 00s Where's Manno Very strange and interesting game. I didn't manage to find Manno, sorry. The sound and visuals became a bit overwhelming after a while. As I did the mistake of running it in windowed mode, I also had some trouble navigating, as the mouse ended up outside the window all the time. Might pick it up again later though. I want to find that Manno..
Apr 20 15:29:00 9m 00s Last Militia Nice game :) I really like the top-down Zelda-like type of games. I had some trouble with the initial difficulty, I was not able to kill many enemies at all. So for me, an 'easy mode' would have been nice!
Apr 20 15:33:00 4m 00s Decrepit Lord of Charge Doesn't start for me, I get an error and it crashes!
Apr 20 15:43:00 10m 00s Robo Attack Nice! I think the graphics works fine :) I had some trouble with the movement, I ended up gliding around while frantically pressing C without much control.. Might try it again later though. I want to beat that 241-score..
Apr 20 15:49:00 6m 00s An Alien Sniper I enjoyed this! The smoke effect was nice, and I really got into trying to shoot that alien for a while.. Sound would have been nice, but in 48h you can't have it all. Nice job :)
Apr 20 15:51:00 2m 00s Tim's Bad Day Windows version doesn't start for me, the download contains an exe-file. When running it, it tells me 'Tim's Bad Day_Data'-folder should be in the same folder as the exe file.
Apr 20 15:57:00 6m 00s HOW TO DESTROY AN ISLAND I think it has a very interesting concept, but that the gameplay currently is quite confusing. I wasn't sure what to do, so I mostly clicked random things. I think the idea has potential though, would be nice to see further work on it :)
Apr 20 16:04:00 7m 00s Tuba Knight Very nice! Definitely one of my favourites this far. The graphics, sound and gameplay went together very well, and the mechanics felt polished.
Apr 20 16:09:00 5m 00s Cake Wars! Nice game! I would have preferred a bit faster movement for the player and the enemies, and it became very easy after obtaining the first and second bonus shots. But I had a good time, and it would be interesting to see where it could end up in the future if it was to be further developed :)
Apr 20 19:54:00 3h 45m Padilla's Pancakes Interesting game! It lagged quite a bit on Firefox for me, better on Chrome. Still unsure if the music I heard was meant to be heard that way. Nevertheless, I liked the mood of it :)
Apr 20 20:02:00 8m 00s An Unconventional Weapon I really liked the humour in this game. I smiled the whole way through it. The visuals might be the weaker part of the game, but they still made their job well. Nice job, I liked this!
Apr 21 04:26:00 8h 24m HazMat Run I enjoyed it, played it several times (highscore 480). The biggest problem for me was the perma-death of running into the edges. Otherwise, I think it turned out enjoyable. Well done :)
Apr 21 04:43:00 17m 00s no. 55 Really nice presentation! Some ambient music would have been perfect to improve it even further. Also, enjoyable and responsive gameplay. It was easy though, as I seemed to be invincible. But maybe that was the point? Nevertheless, well done :)
Apr 21 04:50:00 7m 00s Celery Samurai I highly enjoyed this one! The game mechanics flows on very nicely. I would happily have played more levels. It feels like you have a lot of tools here to build a more extensive game. <br/> <br/>Another thought, the never-ending stream of monsters at the last screen could easily be converted to survival mode :)
Apr 21 05:01:00 11m 00s Nimble Forge Looks great, and nicely executed! Nice humor. Took some rounds for me to get the hang of the crafting, a small hint 'drag the materials on each other', would have nodded me in the right way immediately. Good job!
Apr 21 05:12:00 11m 00s Teed Off Nicely executed! Entertaining with polished game mechanics. Also, I liked the alien slowly destroying all the small houses in the background. The laser animation could have been faster though (or having a skip button), as I spent half the playing time waiting for the animation. <br/> <br/>After hole 9 it crashed for me with the console message: <br/> <br/>Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'par' of undefined (index.js:432). <br/> <br/>Nevertheless, nice job :)
Apr 21 05:22:00 10m 00s 100 Dollars Unicorns It was fun! A bit frustrating to land them after grabbing them, especially when exploding on collision with other unicorns. It would have been nice with some kind of difficulty ramp-up to get the hang of it, so that the first unicorn was easier to handle than later (but maybe pay less?). Anyway, I liked it a lot. Nice job :)
Apr 21 18:16:00 12h 54m Inkpen and greens Very nice idea, and nice look to it! I wish it was a bit longer.. Would have preferred to play it a little bit more zoomed out, with some more overview. But nice job :)
Apr 21 18:21:00 5m 00s IANAAI Well done and nice idea :) Had some hearphone-issues with the door-drilling sound, it was intense for my poor ears.
Apr 21 18:30:00 9m 00s HARDWIRED I enjoyed playing this. You got the mood right with the visuals, sound and mechanics. Got the hang of navigating the guards after a while, but ended up confused about where to go when I reached the end of the corridor. Looks like it has a lot of potential, hope you continue developing it :)
Apr 21 18:36:00 6m 00s Home Defence Nice! This flowed really well, addictive gameplay. I like the idea with destroying the furniture. I guess it is always a question of time, but some further furniture-destroy-animations would have felt really rewarding!
Apr 21 18:43:00 7m 00s Frisbee Fetus Bombs Really nice mechanics, I enjoyed watching the number of controlled characters increase. I did't feel that the movement (right click) provided me much benefit, especially as my army grew. I agree with someone else in the comments, I would like to see more from you, but maybe with less fetuses (and sad noises!)
Apr 21 18:49:00 6m 00s Photophobia Nice, you really got the ambience with the visuals and the music!
Apr 21 18:52:00 3m 00s Frisbee Training Was't able to enjoy it fully as a single player, will try to find a friend to play it with.. I liked the visuals and music, and the mechanics flowed on nicely. Well done :)
Apr 21 18:57:00 5m 00s Druid of the Moon It got a nice feeling! I hope you'll keep on working with the mechanics, would love to play a full game with that atmosphere.
Apr 21 19:03:00 6m 00s The Grand Carpet Hotel I liked it a lot :) Nice idea with the mat, and well executed. Music and graphics were nice tool. I also had trouble with the spacebar-scrolling, which made it hard to play. If you are using Phaser, you can 'capture' buttons from the browser using following line: <br/> <br/>game.input.keyboard.addKeyCapture([Phaser.Keyboard.SPACEBAR]); <br/> <br/>Will replay later on bigger monitor :)
Apr 22 15:44:00 20h 41m Mac Squeaks Nice game and idea! The weapon switching could maybe get some more polish, when I had a weapon equipped and went into another one it rapidly switched back and forth, making a lot of high noise. Otherwise, enjoyable game :) <br/> <br/>I found the coffee script + Phaser combination interesting, I have been thinking about trying that out myself. Do you think they worked well together?
Apr 22 15:55:00 11m 00s Trees vs Zombies Nice! I really enjoyed both cutting down the zombies one and one, and squashing hordes of them beneath the trees. One of the most fun games I have played this far in this Ludum Dare :)
Apr 22 16:01:00 6m 00s Cows vs Clowns I liked this! A small scope, and you made it well. When I shot a long chain of ..bullets? the cows passed right through them all, but otherwise it all worked fine. Well done :)
Apr 22 16:08:00 7m 00s With Kindness Fun and lighthearted in a sinister way. I really liked it :) I like sorloks idea to be able to block the bullets using your newly found friends!
Apr 22 16:11:00 3m 00s The other guys' weapon Nice concept :) Would have been interesting with more levels!
Apr 22 16:16:00 5m 00s Nallies Party It was actually quite hard, ran into that dragon at least three times. It was nice to play, and to hear that you cooperated with your daughter on this! I would have preferred to have the camera further to the right, to get a bit more overview over items and dragons. To sum it up, well done, both of you, I hope you'll continue to develop games together :)
Apr 22 16:28:00 12m 00s Blastcode This was very nice! One of my favorites. Ran it from start to end. Really enjoy this kind of hack-games. It would have been nice if when the commands was running the current command was highlighted, both to better follow the events, and to ease the 'debugging'. To sum it up, well done, it would be nice to see more like this.
Apr 22 17:13:00 45m 00s Shepherd Nice game with an interesting mechanic! Became a little bit repetitive after a while when you got the hang of the scaring, but still enjoyable. Good job :)
Apr 22 17:17:00 4m 00s Mutants Must Die I enjoyed it, even if it currently feels more like a promising engine than a game. You could make a really nice game on that, I hope you'll continue to develop it :) And btw, nice graphics!
Apr 23 15:12:00 21h 55m Pixel4Dead Interesting mechanics! It became quite intense after a while. I had some trouble in hitting the zombies in the unconventional mode, dodging them felt like the better alternative.
Apr 23 15:16:00 4m 00s Lagman Ahh! Really nice idea, and really frustrating to play!
Apr 23 15:26:00 10m 00s Flappy Shrimp Ninja Blob VS Blue Water Saussage ! Nice one! Enjoyable mechanics, and felt like a complete game with all those levels. Found many of the later ones very interesting. Could maybe polish those tiles a bit, but they made their job well :)
Apr 23 15:31:00 5m 00s Soulseeker Nice little game, well done :) As you said in the description, it was a quite heavy game for my computer. Didn't look like it needed to be very computationally intense, might be worthwhile to run a profiler, to localize what part of the code that is running heavily. Nevertheless, well done, and good luck with its further development :)
Apr 23 15:35:00 4m 00s Jimmy Aupperlee Nice groundwork for a game! I liked the feeling of the moving and jumping. Keep it up :)
Apr 23 15:38:00 3m 00s Phage Therapy I liked the atmosphere of it, both visuals and music, very nice :) Interesting with the background too.
Apr 23 15:42:00 4m 00s Compassionate Action Felt more like an engine than a complete game, but I found it enjoyable :) Would be interesting to see what happens with this if you put further work into it!
Apr 23 15:47:00 5m 00s Boxmagedon Nice, I enjoy this kind of games :) Movement became almost too fast for me after a few batteries. To make it more challenging you could spread out the spawning along more than one wall. I enjoyed it, good job!
Apr 23 16:42:00 55m 00s Herbicide Well done, nice work being your first encounter with many of the tools! I enjoyed the flowers dancing animation in particular, so happy :) At the end I waited for a single patch to become a flower for quite a while (after becoming a weed 3-4 times). Otherwise, I found the game enjoyable. Well done, and good luck with your future games!
Apr 23 16:48:00 6m 00s Paper. Didn't manage to get past the first obstacle.. But maybe there were no way? Nevertheless, it looked very nice. I hope you'll finish it the next time :)
Apr 23 16:51:00 3m 00s Goat Shooter! I got him! Congratulations on making your first HTML5-game :)
Apr 23 16:56:00 5m 00s Popup Stick Nice and enjoyable :) Made it to level three!
Apr 23 16:59:00 3m 00s paper Land Nice with the pen drawn graphics! Wish it was longer :)
Apr 23 17:03:00 4m 00s Junk room I enjoyed this unproportionally, especially the ending animation. Congratulations on finishing your first actual coding game!
Apr 23 18:46:00 1h 43m Behind the Fence I really enjoyed the music! The text was nice too, I became a bit text-overloaded after a while, but that says more about me than the game. Nice job :)
Apr 23 18:55:00 9m 00s Trappy Trap Took a while for me to get the hang of which direction that killed which entity. Maybe the learning curve could had been smoothed out through letting the player see the tutorial while playing for a little while? When I got the hang of it, it was great fun. Nice mechanics, nice art and fitting music. You have done a great job :)
Apr 23 19:00:00 5m 00s Cat's Heaven Nice little game! I found the useless weapon quite unsatisfying, and the enemies blended with the background, but otherwise I liked it. Nice with waves and bosses, and the weapon combinations. Good luck with the continued development of it and future games :)
Apr 23 19:07:00 7m 00s Pocket Squad Nice! I enjoyed the random-weapon-throwing a lot. The jumping felt a bit strange, but nevertheless fun game.
Apr 23 19:26:00 19m 00s Dolfender Nice, interesting idea and interesting game mechanics. I enjoyed it the whole way through. Would happily have played more levels!
Apr 24 16:08:00 20h 42m A Big Freakin' Ball O' Hurt Very enjoyable to play, and music and graphics blend together well. I missed having some kind of squashing sound-effect when killing of the blue squares. Impressive to finish this in one evening!
Apr 24 16:19:00 11m 00s Fruitinator I really liked the terrain destruction, and the feeling of the controls in this game. Didn't manage to find the flag on level 2.. But maybe hints would make it too easy. Visually pleasing game too. Well done!
Apr 24 16:39:00 20m 00s TypeFighter Fantastic, brain freezing game. Will likely come back and play this more later!
Apr 24 16:46:00 7m 00s Keyboard Command Very nice! Really enjoy this kind of game (also made a typing game..) Interesting and challenging mechanic :)
Apr 25 08:13:00 15h 27m Screaming Wizards It was intense! Enjoyed it a lot :) Would use a bigger/clearer font, had trouble to read the words at times. Really nice graphics. Well done!
Apr 25 08:23:00 10m 00s DictionBlade Nice concept! Liked the look of it, and the mechanics. Was quite easy to exploit the nice/neutral/mean system, through picking a single word for each category (for example writing 'a' for green all the time), don't know if it is easy to avoid this in a non game-breaking way though. Well done, would be interesting to see future development of this :)
Apr 25 08:27:00 4m 00s Brain is your weapon Interesting concept, didn't find it so challenging to pick the right shapes to write, but was a nice typing challenge nevertheless :)
Apr 25 08:33:00 6m 00s Fighting Words Seems promising, doesn't run on my computer though.. (Using a Windows 7 computer, when clicking the .exe it loads for a second, and then nothing more happens)
Apr 25 09:40:00 1h 07m Letter Spray Really enjoyed this one, you must have had a lot of fun making this one! Controls were a bit awkward, but when I got the hang of them, it was a lot of fun. And the 'eeeeexploossiooon' almost made me look forward to losing :)
Apr 25 09:49:00 9m 00s Unconventional Tournament My weapon sometimes shot 90 degrees of from where I aimed.. Otherwise, fun game! Well done :)
Apr 25 11:48:00 1h 59m Shopping Riot Very nice! Loved the chaos inside the shopping mall :)
Apr 26 13:50:00 26h 02m Flame Wars Episode VI: A New Post I found this very entertaining! (Found the game through pvwradtke's link).
Apr 26 13:53:00 3m 00s Text WarZ Nicely executed, would be nice with a few different words to type :)
Apr 26 14:02:00 9m 00s Banana Bandit Nice idea! Would have preferred a bit more responsive movement. Nice trying out a new language for LD, well done :)
Apr 26 14:09:00 7m 00s Invictus I liked this, simple and addictive! Took me two runs to figure out what was going on, but after that it was great fun :) Seems very well suited as a phone game!
Apr 26 14:14:00 5m 00s Duck Attack I liked this a lot, great fun :) Some more feedback on ducks damaging golems (and bullets?) would have felt good, otherwise - no complains. Seems to have a lot of potential for future development, I hope you'll keep it up :)
Apr 27 21:33:00 31h 19m Billy McMath Solves Problems This was awesome. Really hard. Feel a bit ashamed to admit that I failed to calculate the 2 - 1 in time..
Apr 27 22:22:00 49m 00s AKIMBO Nice idea! The sound effects was a bit too intense for my liking, but I really liked the strategy. Played it several times, attempting to clear one more wave.. You have a solid foundation for a really nice game here :)
Apr 28 19:22:00 21h 00m Peka vs Beaver Interesting game! I was surprised by the sudden camera shift, but I enjoyed squashing the yellow balls with my beavers.
Apr 28 19:26:00 4m 00s Dollheart Interesting game, I enjoy visual novels. Good luck with its future development :)
Apr 28 19:32:00 6m 00s attack/defense Nice, I enjoyed the humor :) I enjoyed the game too. It would be nice with increasing difficulty, so that you get an ending condition. Then it is complete, a game doesn't need more :)
Apr 28 19:46:00 14m 00s Pencil Hero Nice! Quite an extensive game you have made. I played through several levels. I had some problems with lag, but otherwise it worked fine. One thought. When you overlap the hostile pencil holders you take a lot of damage very quickly (looks like once per game loop). An alternative would be to take a fix amount of damage, and then have a brief period of invulnerability. Overall, enjoyable game, I hope you do more in the future :)
Apr 28 19:53:00 7m 00s Shadows Nice, omnious feeling, and really nice looking shadows and light effects! The gameplay itself wasn't so challenging, maybe one could introduce for example moving objects that has to be avoided.. But it was enjoyable anyway. Will look at your source code now, to try to figure out how you managed to do the visuals!
Apr 28 20:00:00 7m 00s Weight Had some issues with passing through platforms and walls. Otherwise, well done as first entry. Keep it up!
Apr 28 20:04:00 4m 00s Drunk Asteroid Nice concept here! I enjoyed being a drunk asteroid :) Would have preferred a bit more responsive movement, otherwise no complaints.
May 5 19:36:00 167h 32m Matter of the void Nice game with nice atmosphere! Was a bit annoyed that I always got the wrong particles.
May 10 06:16:00 106h 40m Tsurara Donna I liked it! A small, polished game. The visuals, music, backstory and gameplay blends together nicely :)
May 10 08:54:00 2h 38m Scream(But not too much) Nice! I enjoy the visuals and sound a lot. Intense controls, took some time to stop running into dangerous stuff.. Using the scream felt good!
May 10 09:06:00 12m 00s Ultimate Booter Nice game :) Could maybe make initial instructions briefer? Really enjoyed visuals and music!
May 10 09:12:00 6m 00s A weapon for our freedom Nice little game, I enjoyed it :) It took a while for me to get the cat moving when pressing the arrows, otherwise it worked fine!
May 10 09:16:00 4m 00s Lisa vs. the Tornado I enjoyed this a lot, thanks for sharing your experiences :)
May 10 09:26:00 10m 00s Reality Drive Nice little game :) The controls felt smooth. A bit unforgiving though, didn't manage to get past level 2 (despite several tries)..
May 10 09:31:00 5m 00s Square Sprint Nice job with the visual and audiotive feedback on this! Felt good to blast away those squares. Would have been nice with some feedback on how good I was doing during the individual levels, for example "Aim to get under 50 clicks on this one...".
May 10 09:34:00 3m 00s AN UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPON You got a really nice mood here. Like the visual style, and the ambient sounds. Would have been interesting to play a more extensive version of this!
May 10 09:41:00 7m 00s Zero Point It looks and sounds great, and has an enjoyable gameplay! I had issues with the movement, which made it hard to enjoy it full. Would definitely give it a replay with smoother movement!
May 10 09:56:00 15m 00s Cortex Control Nice game. I enjoyed both the atmosphere and the gameplay. Could maybe have a bit more gentle initial levels? I made it though the first, but gave up on the second after dying repeatedly.
May 10 10:01:00 5m 00s Crookman Nice atmosphere. Felt good to hurl a cactus at the intruder :)
May 10 10:12:00 11m 00s Out Of Mind Nice! I got very drawn in into this. It would probably have been a bit more satisfying for if it was a bit easier, but played to level four anyway and enjoyed it a lot :)
May 10 10:20:00 8m 00s Metal Survival Nice idea and presentation! I enjoyed watching the intro cut-sceen one time. But after browser restart I would have enjoyed being able to skip it the second time. Didn't fully grasp the gameplay (I mangled the buttons randomly and seemed to win), but it seems like a very interesting basis to build on. I hope you'll continue develop it, you seem to have something interesting coming up here :)
May 17 16:41:00 174h 21m SpaceSharp This was really nice, probably the most addictive LD-game here for me yet :)
