Apr 19 22:53:00 A Drawers Knobs Shooting Socks Nice game in its simplicity. Could be very addictive. gj
Apr 19 23:01:00 8m 00s Stone Fighter This game looked and sounded really good, I didnt get very far though because every time I pressed space the page scrolled down and I couldnt see the game any more =\ might just be me but I couldnt work out how to fix it.
Apr 20 07:56:00 8h 55m Bubble Gun Sheepherder Really enjoyed this, really smooth. I wish you could shoot the meteors from further away but maybe it would make the game too easy, a very minor whinge on a very good game.
Apr 20 08:08:00 12m 00s Maze of Friendship While I enjoy this game the change I would want is the ability to use the arrow keys to move or maybe being able to click a tile further away. However that is a minor whinge on something that is a good entry.
Apr 20 08:13:00 5m 00s Bad Tummy Bunny I bet you had loads of fun recording the sounds! Great game.
Apr 20 08:19:00 6m 00s Ted's Quest I would have made the pickup and throw button the same key, I think it would make things feel a little less fiddly. Other than that it was quite nice.
Apr 20 08:24:00 5m 00s Existential Balloon Simulator The controls seemed backwards to me and I was left wondering a bit what to do, maybe that was just me. The mechanics and the physics felt really nice though. I would like to see more of this in a bigger fleshed out world.
Apr 20 08:31:00 7m 00s Sower I found this a bit purposeless like it should have been part of a larger game.
Apr 20 08:42:00 11m 00s Girl from the north country Personally I’m not a fan of text adventures. However this was brilliantly executed. I would have loved a bit of ambient sound. Top marks for mood! I hope this one does well. <br/> <br/>It doesn’t seem right to criticise another comment saying that you cant give more than 1 start for a game with no images. I gave 3 stars for graphics because I think what you have done with text and colours alone is more stylish than some games using 3D engines.
Apr 20 08:45:00 3m 00s Flying Carpet I couldnt rate this game because on the loading screen Unity crashes and comes up with an error report =\ <br/> <br/>Might be my computer so I hope other people are able to play and rate the game.
Apr 20 08:50:00 5m 00s Don't Drop the TV A simple game but very enjoyable, I played this game far longer than I should have. The concept was nothing entirely new however you captured raw addictive fun.
Apr 20 09:00:00 10m 00s Deadly rain This game looks and feels good, but im not sure how it relates to the topic An Unconventional Weapon. <br/> <br/>I wish there was a key to restart rather than having to use the mouse but that is a minor complaint.
Apr 20 09:06:00 6m 00s HoneyGuy Quite fun in a simple addictive way. I wish you could see the health or score at the top.
Apr 20 09:21:00 15m 00s Wreckbeard: Men's Rights Arcanist This game has been very well fleshed out in respects to the menu and level design. I like the look of the as it is a flash back to how retro games used to look rather than retro style game we normally see. <br/> <br/>I wasn’t sure how the game related to the topic of An Unconventional Weapon but maybe I missed something.
Apr 20 09:55:00 34m 00s Rustinator I love the hex grid design and the destructible objects. Good work for 48 hours and I would love to see this turned into a full game. <br/> <br/>Using tears for weapons reminded me of The Binding of Isaac but that cant be a bad thing.
Apr 20 10:01:00 6m 00s Deadly Roads The game looks good for sure. Enjoyable to play, it’s the kind of thing I could see myself playing for hours on a phone.
Apr 20 10:09:00 8m 00s Rotten Fruit of the death A simple concept that has been done before however it isn't normally done as well as you have done it here. I love the pressure you feel when holding the fruit that makes you want to play fast, but when you do you crash into walls more often.
Apr 20 10:20:00 11m 00s Littleboom Its rare to see an intro video so I liked that. It took me a while to realise that you had to put the items in the right place in the grid however I think this is a nice take on those element combining games.
Apr 20 10:27:00 7m 00s Farm Fury I enjoyed playing this far more than I would have thought. While simple it is bags of fun.
Apr 20 10:33:00 6m 00s A Bard's Song I love playing these kinds of games on my phone and you have done it really well. A minor complaint is how boring the background is however easily top marks for the sound. Good use of the topic An Unconventional Weapon as well.
Apr 20 10:41:00 8m 00s lens saga I found (and from reading the comments I think other people struggled as well) it hard to know what the different camera settings did and generally what the goal was. I found this a shame because obviously a lot of thought had gone into the game. <br/> <br/>@retrophantom I think it would be good to update the description so it was more obvious what the objective was and what you can do in the game.
Apr 20 10:52:00 11m 00s MagDef A well implemented game. Loved the asteroid that looked like Pacman
Apr 20 11:02:00 10m 00s The Great Shooting Its nice to see a game of this complexity. A good theme and feeling to the game. gj
Apr 20 11:35:00 33m 00s Soul Of The Forest Its great to see an intro video because they are so rare, but maybe make it skiable after the first time you have watched it. However that is such a minor grumble on what is an excellent game. <br/> <br/>Top marks for graphics for sure! You have obviously put in a load of polish and I think this game will rate really high.
Apr 20 11:38:00 3m 00s Alter/Cannon I wasn’t able to play the game because my mouse would leave the screen and the game would stop, because of this I haven’t left a rating, it’s a shame because from what I can see the game looks really good and I am likely to have rated it high.
Apr 20 11:46:00 8m 00s A weapon for our freedom I couldn’t work out how to continue when on the game over page so I kept refreshing. <br/> <br/>I liked that you had to pick up the ammo but I wish it had of told me this as I thought at the start it wasn’t working. <br/> <br/>Building games in JS is hard so this is a solid entry.
Apr 20 11:58:00 12m 00s DictionBlade I liked the typing aspect to the game as it brought in a skill element to fighting, once you became practised at entering in the input fast you could become very adept at fighting swiftly. Even more than that I liked the fact that there were many words you could type in that it recognised, however I found that I would just use the shortest word I could and use that one over and over again.
Apr 20 12:07:00 9m 00s Sugar Rush Really simple but fits the theme perfectly. <br/> <br/>You said in the description that there may be some bugs but the only bugs I could find were under my magnifying glass HAHAHA get it? =D <br/> <br/>Anyway, clever stuff having the shadows actually being properly cast on the sugar, could easily have been missed.
Apr 20 12:13:00 6m 00s Planet Crush Simple but well executed. I would like to see some effects when you destroy the planets otherwise it is nice. Good job.
Apr 20 12:22:00 9m 00s Microwave Man I really enjoyed the look and feel of this game, I played it far longer than I should have. Really fun to play and I thought it was really clever to change the size of the cone. <br/> <br/>The sounds were good but did get annoying quickly, however I will not mark you down for that. <br/> <br/>The graphics had a nice feel to them and that’s quite hard to pull off in a short period of time. <br/> <br/>The game needs to get harder faster!
Apr 20 12:29:00 7m 00s Sticks and Stones Despite the simple graphics I actually think this is a clever game. I would like to see the idea of using the letters to build up weapons and items fleshed out into a full game. gj
Apr 20 12:39:00 10m 00s TiMeD I like this game and the whole concept of it. however I was really terrible at playing it. <br/> <br/>I really like the idea that actions are performed rhythmically. While the sound was good I could imagine using this system to make dynamic music. <br/> <br/>I really liked how you could combo moves together. <br/> <br/>Very smart game and I would like to see it fleshed out into a more substantial project.
Apr 20 12:44:00 5m 00s Guardian Against Shadows Nice game, I would have liked to have had diagonal movement but otherwise it was a nice game. <br/> <br/>That one sound effect at the end got you a higher score from me for humour than many games trying to come across as funny.
Apr 20 12:55:00 11m 00s LightStars Very great looking game with good use of lighting. <br/> <br/>I thought the weapon was very innovative and I think this game will do very well in the rating. <br/> <br/>Sometimes I got confused about which way to move the mouse to change the light in the correct direction, but you cant fix me being bad at the game.
Apr 20 13:03:00 8m 00s Bribe Them A great take on the defend your castle style of game. Simple and addictive. <br/> <br/>I assume you will be buying me a new mouse now. <br/> <br/>I play games like this for hours on my phone.
Apr 20 13:16:00 13m 00s The true Weapon Good level design and non-liner progression. I didn’t get the ending but oh well.
Apr 20 13:39:00 23m 00s Discourtesy Induced Death The game looks nice and you have done lots with a simple idea. <br/> <br/>I wasn’t quite sure how it related to the topic of An Unconventional Weapon but it was enjoyable to play anyway.
Apr 20 16:28:00 2h 49m Smoking Kills What a great idea for a game and so well executed. Great humour and use of the penguins. <br/> <br/>I loved little touches like signing the paper at the start and I thought the graphs were well done as well. <br/> <br/>Top notch music! <br/> <br/>I think on the webpage you are embedding into the Ludum Dare website you might want to put border:0px; to remove the scroll bars.
Apr 20 16:42:00 14m 00s Bond This is a really simple concept but I don’t think I have ever seen it done before. <br/> <br/>Maybe I didn’t get enough through the game but I would love to see this mechanic used to kill enemies. <br/> <br/>The one thing I would change is I think the ball doesn’t have enough friction on the ground and maintains its momentum too long, sometimes I did a puzzle successfully but failed because I slipped off the other side. Just a thought and it’s a minor gripe on what is otherwise a very nice system.
Apr 20 16:48:00 6m 00s Word Battle While I am not a fan of word games I can see people playing this on their phones. <br/> <br/>I think you may want to add margin:0px on the website you used to embed it into the Ludum Dare website because I get these scroll bars when I play.
Apr 20 17:02:00 14m 00s SLICK LICKER At the start I thought the screen was very busy and I found it hard to know what was happening. After a while I got used to it and I find the game mechanics very interesting. <br/> <br/>As a tip I think you have built a lot of features and objects into this game, next time you might be better off picking a smaller number and really refining them. <br/> <br/>At the core I think you have some really cool mechanics to build a game around.
Apr 20 17:22:00 20m 00s iRevolution A very sinister feeling game with the music and style.
Apr 20 17:29:00 7m 00s Spoon-Fu I see you have played Knifey Spoony before! <br/> <br/>I liked the mix of the 2D and 3D graphics, I would have liked a longer game because it finished just when I started to understand how to play.
Apr 20 18:37:00 1h 08m Mortpuno The mood and style are fantastic and thought provoking. I would like to see this mechanic used as part of a larger game.
Apr 20 18:46:00 9m 00s Eustus: On the Squid Farm I loved the art style and the textures. Was really nice having a day and night cycle as well. <br/> <br/>I found the world quite barren and even when running I found very little to interact with. Maybe it was just me though. <br/> <br/>I would love to see more things done in this style.
Apr 20 18:55:00 9m 00s Unconventional Guns Oh nice game, you have done lots with a very simple game mechanic. Great level design. <br/> <br/>I like the fact that you implemented rewinding time as I think it could have become a pain restarting the level every time.
Apr 20 19:01:00 6m 00s Hugline Miami If this is what happens when you hug people you need to stop hugging people. <br/> <br/>Such a great style and a great parody. No complaints with the look and sound of the game and I bet it will rate really high in those categories.
Apr 20 19:19:00 18m 00s The Pamphleteers Loads of instructions right at the start, I would have maybe tried to teach the player the game as they played <br/> <br/>I found the game really hard and at the start there is very little to do. <br/> <br/>However after a long time playing it and understanding how the mechanics work I find it very fun to play.
Apr 20 21:35:00 2h 16m GravyGame I thought the game looked great and I liked the little dust orbs floating around to help you know how fast you are moving. <br/> <br/>I found it a bit unresponsive but I think that it just because some things are not very tactile, for example a noise when switching weapon or some kind of image when you are shooting would really help new players understand what is going on.
Apr 20 21:53:00 18m 00s Ham-erTime I /think/ I completed the game however I never had enough money to buy anything. While we are talking about money it was written as moneys everywhere and I would have just put money. <br/> <br/>Also some of the image assets for me were very pixelated especially the buying screen. <br/> <br/>I think the game felt a bit floaty, the guy jumped to high and came down too slowly. I only mention this to try and help you make games that feel more solid in the future.
