Apr 20 18:30:00 Bomb parts Looks good, plays smoothly. I just don't see where the theme comes in, but maybe that's because I failed to reach the ending? Linux version works great for me by the way!
Apr 20 18:38:00 8m 00s Light Spirits Looks beautiful! Very moody and atmospheric, although the cheerful chiptune runs contrary to that. There is definitely a learning curve, but it's a fair one. Is it just my computer, or is the mouse control super sensitive?
Apr 20 19:03:00 25m 00s BeatFace In Space Well, where to begin... 5/5 almost everywhere, and I don't grant those lightly. It looks fastastic, it has a sense of humour, great attention to detail, the planets morphing into faces is great, and the music...! Are you sure this isn't a Jam game? ;)
Apr 20 19:42:00 39m 00s Haven't a Clue WARNING: COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS. <br/> <br/>Great writing! But I'm afraid I really haven't a clue... the answer seems different every time, but everyone says the same things... <br/> <br/>Then I looked at the source and, well, these are very very subtle! I would sure hope that IRL they don't arrest people for being a bit nervous when faced by a possible accusation :)
Apr 21 17:32:00 21h 50m Inverse Zombies This is a great concept. I particularly like how the multiplier depends on your turret count, which encourages you to try and keep as many of them alive as possible. There may actually be a lot of strategy to where you try to hit the enemies, so that you don't end up spawning turrets in your line of fire. Unfortunately it goes a bit too fast for strategy -- maybe something similar would work well as a turn-based game?
Apr 21 17:34:00 2m 00s Rescue Mr.Furrybottom You may need to enable public sharing on the Source download. Right now it tells me to ask permission using my Google account.
Apr 21 17:53:00 19m 00s Bioterrorism Yay, I won! Maybe it was more luck than skill, who knows :) I didn't figure out what the chest contents did.
Apr 21 18:18:00 25m 00s MEDIUM Looks gorgeous, with all the subtle animations and transitions. Sounds OK, some sounds are a bit jarring, but overall it really does create the right atmosphere. The puzzles are quite good, although I didn't get very far. Great work!
Apr 21 18:23:00 5m 00s Slap 'em with tha bass Very unusual, very innovative! I love how you actually can use the amp to jump higher and farther, once you got the hang of it. Good music, too ;)
Apr 21 18:42:00 19m 00s The AFK47 Nice! Made it to 8/11 but then got stuck in a ceiling :( Some more bugs too: the enemies would shoot over my head, or would randomly get stuck. Too bad that the projectiles are too small to be really recognizable, but the sounds help a little :)
Apr 22 16:35:00 21h 53m Bilehacker Won, I guess? Not so much an interactive story as it is a kind of RPG. After the first time you've read them, the blurbs of text just get in the way, especially the ~10 clicks you need to jack in and get to work. But it does have a weird kind of charm :)
Apr 22 16:42:00 7m 00s Ludum Dare #-6192 Unfortunately the Linux version doesn't work for me. I think it's because the JAR file doesn't include lwjgl.
Apr 22 16:55:00 13m 00s Second-hand Spaceman Can't I rate sound? The music was good :) Other bits were good too. Smooth controls, great graphics.
Apr 22 17:11:00 16m 00s The Happy One Great work! Very interesting mechanics, both with the smiling/frowning and with the blower things. Love the hand-drawn art style. On the fourth (?) level I managed to get up on the ledge to the left, because I thought I was supposed to... walked off the far end, and fell into a void.
Apr 22 17:28:00 17m 00s Just my own two cents Full marks for Innovation. This is brilliant! The art style initially made me think that the game wouldn't be any good, but I was proven wrong! Good puzzles, great gameplay. It gave me new appreciation what you can do with pen, paper and random objects lying around on your desk :D More levels would make it even better!
Apr 22 17:43:00 15m 00s No Vacancies Interesting concept, but it's a bit too random. You just sit around waiting, either because you've spent all your lures or because they're on the wrong side, and whether they all gather under your one bookcase is pure luck.
Apr 22 17:59:00 16m 00s Asteroid Escape Since there are no gravity wells to eat your delta-V, I think you could do it with a single ship and a lot of patience. But it was fun to play and try to keep the rocket under control... or not :) SAS would help a lot to make it more controllable, i.e. gradually cancelling angular velocity.
Apr 23 15:38:00 21h 39m April Bloom Great work! Played it on my Android tablet. Well-balanced gameplay, and I really dig the embroidened art style. The music gets a bit annoying though, and there is one little bug, as I lasted for 03:193:27.
Apr 23 15:45:00 7m 00s Wizard Rescue Works fine in Wine. Smooth gameplay, a bit too hard for my poor skills but I'm sure many people will enjoy it. The music is great, but the sound is a bit too loud in comparison.
Apr 23 16:01:00 16m 00s Bane of Arthropods Multiple great musics! Could have done with better sound effects though. The controls are a bit buggy at times, you randomly stop walking or don't jump; and the framerate was low and steadily dropping. But the styles of the different levels are very entertaining :) <br/> <br/>This also runs fine on Linux, you might want to update your download link.
Apr 23 16:22:00 21m 00s Bribe Them Wow, great take on the "where to invest your clicks" genre! It's got some interesting strategic decisions, like which ones to bribe (usually the healthy ones) and which to have killed, and the balancing and progression curve is good. I didn't manage to kill/bribe the boss, and my wall ended at -9843 health, but it seems I won anyway, so yay! Some sound effects or music would have been nice, but I think you made the right tradeoff by focusing on other things. <br/> <br/>It seems to only work if you have a really wide window or monitor, otherwise the buttons fall off the screen. Easy to fix by running windowed and resizing appropriately.
Apr 23 16:54:00 32m 00s The Teabaggers Charming little game, my dear chap! Quaint, but rather charming indeed. The animations are outright fabulous. I shall gladly play this some more at four o'clock.
Apr 23 17:00:00 6m 00s The True Mop Nice one! It's pretty fast indeed, but plays smoothly. Great job!
Apr 23 17:13:00 13m 00s Escape Nice job on the voice acting, that does add a lot of atmosphere to what would otherwise be a pretty standard game. I couldn't quite figure out how the card switching worked. Tab shows my cards, but clicking them didn't always seem to work.
Apr 23 17:26:00 13m 00s Love Bomb Best looking entry I've seen so far! Great soundtrack too! I reached "All is love" and stopped bombing, but somehow I reached a tipping point and the love kept spreading and killed a bunch of people.
Apr 23 17:32:00 6m 00s Pro-Pain ~ Yet another zombie survival game The music is great, and the blowtorch thing sounds great too. Could have done with better AI, so they won't all come at you in a straight line. The zombies look a bit like R2-D2 :)
May 6 17:02:00 311h 30m Zombie Hut Killed 69 of the suckers. Great that we can use Go for games nowadays... maybe I'll do my next LD in Go then!
May 6 17:12:00 10m 00s Crazy Cat Lady Simulator 2015 Haha, brilliant :D Looks very cute, plays smoothly. My only complaint would be the harsh sfxr/bfxr-like sounds.
May 6 17:41:00 29m 00s ¡WHOA pizza! 5/5 for audio. Much rather this than harsh sfxr sounds :D
May 6 17:53:00 12m 00s The Pen Is Mightier Congrats on your entry, and good luck with the continuation! You've got a good foundation there. It feels a bit floaty right now, might want to look into the controls.
May 6 18:28:00 35m 00s S-COM: Aftermath Great game! I lost miserably the first time, made it to 91% the second time. Not easy, but full of interesting decisions, and very well balanced. Great job!
May 6 18:44:00 16m 00s Tetris Smash! This is awesome! It starts out almost like Tetris, but becomes more of a hectic dropfest in the later levels.
May 6 18:57:00 13m 00s Not Nice Knight Great stuff! Your postmortem link isn't working. I think you want http://ludumdare.com/compo/2015/04/20/not-nice-knight-postmortem/.
May 11 18:51:00 119h 54m AntiCon Very nice! Once you hit the resonance frequency of the swing, it becomes fun to keep it spinning while dodging the bullets. Would be even better with more particles and other juice!
May 11 18:58:00 7m 00s The Room Nice one! Reminds me of a certain Valve game. Smooth controls; too bad it's so short. The crosshair could have been a bit bigger/clearer.
May 11 19:03:00 5m 00s WORD OF POWER Looks nice, but the guesswork does get frustrating.
May 11 19:10:00 7m 00s Qbit The controls are so floaty that I couldn't even make it to the ball :(
May 11 19:31:00 21m 00s Bubble Becky Amazing work! Cute graphics, smooth controls, a catchy soundtrack, a brilliant innovative mechanic, well-designed levels... what's not to like? It'll be bedtime soon, but I'll play this some more tomorrow :)
