| Apr 20 17:56:00 | Cocktail Ninja | I got it to run. I'm using Windows 8.1. <br/> <br/>The concept of the game is hilarious, but I wasn't able to get that far in it, because I didn't know how to jump over or duck the spinning knives. Sorry. | |
| Apr 20 17:59:00 | 3m 00s | Burd Turd | This works great as a twisted parody of Flappy Bird, but the spike-walls on the left give it an actually cool gameplay twist. <br/> <br/>Also, what the hell did that bird eat? |
| Apr 20 19:07:00 | 1h 08m | Cosmo's Apprentice | Wow, this is one hard game. I only got a score of 2500, but I plan on improving it. <br/> <br/>The idea is perfect for quick little arcade sessions. I think lot of people will criticize the game because all 5 elements work the same way, but that added complexity wouldn't help the game at all. It's about efficiently switching between weapons and killing robots as fast as possible while trying not to die. The clock bonuses give you an incentive to actually explore the level rather than farm the spawn points, which is clever. The jetpack controls are flawless and I didn't see any bugs. <br/> <br/>However, at the end of the day, you are a guy with a gun. This isn't your average shooter, but the weapon is still very conventional. It's a shame too, because I did enjoy the gameplay. |
| Apr 20 19:15:00 | 8m 00s | The Potaco Anomaly | A combination twin-stick shooter and tower defense game where you have to defend the ammo you need to survive. The gameplay idea is a lot cooler than you'd think from the joke game exterior, and I would love to play a fleshed-out version of this. |
| Apr 20 19:20:00 | 5m 00s | Sugar Shot | The overall atmosphere is cute, but the game could use some bug fixing. I seem to have "won" the game (Unity-chan did a little dance), and then...nothing. I don't know whether I actually won, what happened to cause this, or how to restart the level. If the bugs get fixed and the player was given more information, this could be a cute little game. |
| Apr 20 19:30:00 | 10m 00s | Weapon of Darkness | It turns out that the Weapon of Darkness was not a peni6. 0/10. <br/> <br/>Just kidding. I actually like the idea, of hiding between cover and using your EMP and gun strategically, but in order for a game like this to work, you need to know what the enemy can and cannot see. And here, you have no clue. This makes things pretty difficult. <br/> <br/>Other than that, though, the EMP is an interesting weapon, the cover you can hide behind works perfectly, and it controls just fine. |
| Apr 20 19:35:00 | 5m 00s | Nursery - Shuut them up! | I want to play this, but how exactly do you shoot the pacifiers? On Chrome, the left mouse button does nothing. |
| Apr 20 19:39:00 | 4m 00s | Forest Defense | It's a working tower defense game with an interesting ecology theme. I just wish I knew what "speed" and "rate" refer to. But otherwise, the game works pretty well, and if you like tower defense games, you might like this. |
| Apr 20 19:42:00 | 3m 00s | FINGERSLINGER | If I had to pick my favorite Ludum Dare game so far, it would have to be this one. The art style! The clever variation of Rock Paper Scissors! The weapon that is indeed unconventional! It's simple and not *that* innovative, but does literally nothing wrong. |
| Apr 20 19:48:00 | 6m 00s | PoP | I can't get it to run on Windows 8.1. I tried running it in Administrator mode, I set the compatibility to Windows XP, nothing. I double click the .exe, Windows asks me if I want the program to make changes to my computer, I say yes, then...nothing. |
| Apr 20 19:54:00 | 6m 00s | Freeze Ray | The coolest thing about this game is the level design. The difficulty ramps up quickly as you go through the game, until you're carefully positioning groups of enemies so that you can jump onto one just before the other melts. It's not an easy game, but that's part of the draw. And of course, it's a perfect fit for the theme. |
| Apr 20 20:02:00 | 8m 00s | Underload | The game is hilarious, and that alone means it deserves a good rating. The vehicular damage is a cool touch, and the allure of a high score gives it potentially great replay value. |
| Apr 20 20:09:00 | 7m 00s | Ant Anarchy | This was better than I expected it to be. The time limit forces you to memorize the level as you uncover it until you can basically speedrun the entire thing. I just wish the difficulty ramped up more, because after 10 points things just get too easy. The exploding ants are indeed a very unconventional weapon. |
| Apr 20 22:25:00 | 2h 16m | Lord of Spiders | Was this really made in 3 days? Because damn, this is really ambitious. It doesn't quite match the theme, but the setting is interesting and making a hack and slash in 72 hours is not an easy task. |
| Apr 20 22:28:00 | 3m 00s | Cheeseburger (in Paradise) | There's no link to your game, man. We can't play it! |
| Apr 20 22:32:00 | 4m 00s | Cats Don't Kill People | I can see what you were trying to do, and I agree that it would have been fun if it were finished. It did fit the theme very well, though. |
| Apr 20 22:45:00 | 13m 00s | Basketball Flight | Oh hey, I've seen you on AGDG. <br/> <br/>You need to make a full game out of this. There is so much potential in this basketball-throwing mechanic that it would be a waste if you didn't. There are a few technical problems though. The steadily decreasing framerate was already mentioned, but the character can double jump by jumping immediately after throwing the ball, and I'm not sure if that is a glitch or intentional. There's some collision detection problems, but I'm pretty sure the framerate's the cause of that. But those can be forgiven because you've come up with a genius idea for a platformer. |
| Apr 21 12:23:00 | 13h 38m | Saving Bacon | I was expecting an average tower defense, but this is smarter than the average bear. It has a pretty decent pathfind system, and will try to go around bales of hay instead of breaking them down. Combined with the low health of the items you can place, this makes the game pretty difficult, and I never once got the bear to stop eating my house, but it also stands out from similar games. The dynamic camera is a cool touch. <br/> <br/>PROTIP: You're gonna be tempted to build a solid line of hay. Don't, because the bear will just charge right through it. Instead, place hay and mud randomly on the map so the bear will waste its turn trying to go around them. |
| Apr 21 12:41:00 | 18m 00s | Jehova's Witness Simulator | I...the game actually convinced me that Hell is better than Heaven. I don't know what to believe anymore. <br/> <br/>The game is prone to crashing randomly, and "ask about yourself" doesn't seem to do anything unless you get kicked out. But my only fault with the gameplay is that it's 100% luck-based. You don't know how well you're doing until you get kicked out. |
| Apr 21 12:42:00 | 1m 00s | USB Warrior | Couldn't run it on Windows 8.1. Wanted "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll". |
| Apr 21 12:45:00 | 3m 00s | An unconventional Factory | oh god what is going on i am not good with computer |
| Apr 21 14:18:00 | 1h 33m | Unconventionality | The soundtrack is really good. Easily the game's best feature. I also liked the models of the enemies. <br/> <br/>I'm not entirely sure it fits the theme, because the combat is a pretty standard Dragon Quest style RPG. Like, what makes a Moon Sword functionally different from an ordinary one? I've only played five minutes of it though. There were no bugs, but a handful of typos ("mistery" instead of "mystery"). |
| Apr 21 14:23:00 | 5m 00s | Waste Of War | Oh boy, this theme is going to be controversial. <br/> <br/>The gameplay has potential, but it's very, very hard to get to the stones and use them to block mines. You don't get any at the start of the game, and you have no clue where the mines are until they kill you. I'm not sure how to fix it, though. Not bad overall, though! |
| Apr 21 14:37:00 | 14m 00s | Pumpkin & the moles | The game has good graphics and sound, but the game does not tell you how to grow a vegetable. This makes the game impossible, because the character cannot jump over enemies high enough to get past them. |
| Apr 21 18:13:00 | 3h 36m | Sword To A Gun Fight? I Like A Pillow | It's a pretty cool concept that fits the theme pretty well. My old problem is that it's hard to tell when you're in front and when you're in back. I spent a minute wondering why I couldn't hit an enemy, and why it wouldn't shoot back. |
| Apr 21 18:32:00 | 19m 00s | Pinata game | Nothing happens when I click the game EXE. Running Windows 8.1 |
| Apr 22 15:18:00 | 20h 46m | Coats The Mod | This is fun, even if you can't talk to most of the NPCs yet. The concept is hilarious and the graphics and sound are very well done. I'm still trying to work out how to beat the various enemies quickly (Underages seem to be vulnerable to dislikes), as well as how to not get my shit kicked in by Anonymous. <br/> <br/>Overall it reminds me of Segagaga. |
| Apr 22 15:31:00 | 13m 00s | Sten the Keyboard Warrior | It doesn't 100% fit the theme, since the keyboard is basically just a gun, and like frokes said, you don't take much damage. But other than that, it's a fun little game that's very easy to figure out and bug-free. <br/> <br/>PROTIP: Get the Steroid upgrade as soon as possible. |
| Apr 22 15:40:00 | 9m 00s | x100x | What Yoon said. Also, I had no idea that the game's name was Chicken Tosser until I downloaded the link. <br/> <br/>It's not bad. I like how enemies are destroyed if you run into them, so you don't have to worry about them taking all of your health at once. |
| Apr 22 21:31:00 | 5h 51m | Backyard warfare | It's a great concept, and controlling the RC car was fun. One change I would make are to attach a lens flare to the car and robots, and have the flares exclude all layers. This way, you can see where they are even when they're under the treehouse. Another way to do this would be to put a little icon on them, and have a second camera render these icons when the first one is finished. (Settings in Unity for the camera: "Don't clear", depth > the first camera, and only renders the layer the sprites are on). <br/> <br/>Again, it's unique and fits the theme really well. Keep working on it. |
| Apr 22 23:35:00 | 2h 04m | Unconventional Dungeon | Well, it's not a very pretty game. But the level design is complex and interesting, the controls work well, and there's plenty of boss battles. One thing I would change is to add the ability to buy health, because you get worn down easily. |
| Apr 22 23:40:00 | 5m 00s | Perdam et Creem | I can't run it. The batch file doesn't work. "'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Press any key to continue" |
| Apr 22 23:42:00 | 2m 00s | Poland space program | I'm not sure if Polandball triple-jumping off the screen was a bug or not, but I don't care. 5/5. |
| Apr 23 00:18:00 | 36m 00s | Sliborg | At least you made a game. Keep it up. |
| Apr 23 00:22:00 | 4m 00s | Holy Sheeit | Nice and juicy visuals, unique weapon, good difficulty. It's shit! |
| Apr 23 00:25:00 | 3m 00s | Stop! In The Name Of The Law! | Very funny and the controls are easy to grasp. Original concept. I like it! |
| Apr 23 12:41:00 | 12h 16m | MECHAHORN | It's funny and looks great, and it's rare to see a LD game with an actual storyline. It would be nice if the enemies had less HP, though. |
| Apr 23 12:44:00 | 3m 00s | Super Nee-Wah | I don't have someone else to play this with, so I played against myself. It seems like something that would be a blast to play with friends. |
| Apr 24 18:54:00 | 30h 10m | The Heist | I ended up playing this for half an hour in one sitting, and my final score was $5,577. <br/> <br/>I agree with the others about the controls. There's no reason NOT to use the person you just hacked into, especially since they die after 6 seconds. Switching to an enemy and aiming should be automatic. Otherwise, I really like the game. <br/> <br/>PROTIP: All enemies have only 6 bullets, so you can sometimes bait them into wasting all of theirs by forcing them to fire at walls or a hacked enemy. As long as they're actually out of bullets, you can walk right past them. |
| Apr 24 18:58:00 | 4m 00s | Shop 'Till They Drop | It took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but I had fun with it. EGG IS BEST WEAPON< BEANS ARE FOR CASUALS WHO CAN"T AIM. |
| Apr 24 19:27:00 | 29m 00s | Secret Weapons Factory! | You should have allowed people to rate the game on graphics. I thought it looked pretty nice. <br/> <br/>I enjoyed it once I figured out what to do. I'm not sure how to save my researchers though, which seems to be the thing that gives you a game over. The writing is very funny. |
| Apr 24 19:38:00 | 11m 00s | Pigeon Sniper | This is actually the second game I've played on here that's about birds pooping. I'd rank this as equally good as Burd Turd. Good job. |
| Apr 24 19:43:00 | 5m 00s | Speechless | This is easily the most innovative game I've played here. Good work. Reading the tutorial is an absolute must, though. |
| Apr 24 20:10:00 | 27m 00s | Utensil Attack | I've played tons of games in this jam where you attack with spoons, but only in this one do I actually feel like I'm throwing spoons. There's a nice variety of weapons, too. The banana hat is OP, though, |
| Apr 24 22:26:00 | 2h 16m | FocalPoint | Wow. 5/5 across the board for the creative concept and excellent visuals. I am actually jealous that I didn't come up with this concept myself. |
