| Aug 25 07:58:00 | Undetected | Nice execution of a really neat idea! I really liked the moving lasers, they added more suspense to the puzzles. The puzzles were pretty clever, but they felt like it was more about nudging the characters by the correct amount rather than figuring out the correct path. The characters accelerated too quickly when using the keyboard, and the hit area for the characters when using the mouse felt a little too small, made the drag and drop feel a little unresponsive. <br/>I liked that you managed to make so many levels, nice work! <br/>The art-thief setting is really cool, would be nice to see that concept fleshed out more if you decide to continue developing this! <br/>By the way, aren't the real monsters art critics? ;) | |
| Aug 25 09:47:00 | 1h 49m | Flappy Monster | ba-dum-tsh |
| Aug 25 10:29:00 | 42m 00s | Takodemon | W0w, what a cool idea, and so well executed! The last level was a little tiresome, but other than that I think the difficulty curve was really nicely planned out and and the pace of the game really matches the atmosphere, and vice versa. Now I want a custom controller for this game, shaped like the monster! :D <br/>I really love the mood in this game, nice work! |
| Aug 25 11:25:00 | 56m 00s | Super Sea Serpent Simulator | Wow! o.o What an awesome-looking game! I really like the paper effect you achieved, it all remind me of a fleet foxes music video. Neat! The water ripple effects were subtle but really nice! And the dynamic music feels great! <br/>The mouse controls felt kinda wonky though. <br/>All in all, a very solid entry! |
| Aug 25 11:42:00 | 17m 00s | Snail Muncher | I really like the somber music, and the sound effects are really creepycrawly. Nice UI elements! The collision felt a little rough as the spider got stuck on the walls. <br/>Maybe the level is a little simple layout-wise, but overall nice work and nice graphics! |
| Aug 25 11:50:00 | 8m 00s | server INFLICTION | Nice interface and idea, but the wait between options were too long. It was a little boring. |
| Aug 25 12:13:00 | 23m 00s | Snacker | Pretty fun little game! Nice work on getting some camera shaking in there, it's a really nice touch. I had problems to fire the fireball, I only managed to do it three times. |
| Aug 25 12:31:00 | 18m 00s | Lovers on a Park Bench | Nice writing, I started pretty silly I thought, with the robot voices, but then I got kinda moody by the story. Too much started happening at once when the shadow appeared, so I got a little lost there of what it meant. There was no text in the narrative at the end, and due to the music volume I couldn't discern what was said. <br/>Awesome music, really sets the atmosphere. <br/>I think you really got a knack for writing, nice work! |
| Aug 25 12:40:00 | 9m 00s | Evolution | Too slow movement and reload, made the game very hard in the beginninng. A tutorial would have been nice, it's a little confusing. Nice work on the sprites! |
| Aug 25 12:46:00 | 6m 00s | Who's the Boss? | I don't know what the rules say about the use of copyrighted assets...? Nice theme interpretation and idea, but the platforming was a little cumbersome and I just couldn't figure out how to get the pizza. It was on the map, but not in the level? |
| Aug 25 13:32:00 | 46m 00s | NotZilla: Ice Cream Vendor | Love the art style and how you used the theme! Poor Notzilla, haha! :D <br/>The game was too hard for me though, I had a hard time trying to get to the "zoomed in" state, to hand over the ice cream, and often when I did things went by so fast and I was always deemed too rude. :P <br/>Overall really, really nice work! :) |
| Aug 25 13:52:00 | 20m 00s | Trullskoll | Wow, nice work! There's a lot of depth to this game, although imo it started to feel somewhat grinding-heavy early on. The graphics and animations are superb, the atmosphere is nice as well, but some form of music or background sound would have been nice. <br/>Crazy ambitious game! :D |
| Aug 25 15:06:00 | 1h 14m | PokEscape: Magicrap's Stealthy Journey for Survival & Gyrodeuce | Haha, fun interpretation of the theme! I like all the little clever ways in which you manage to avoid copyright infringement, hehe! The game got pretty hard, pretty fast, but it was fun, I think you could develop this further for sure. Nice work! |
| Aug 25 15:14:00 | 8m 00s | Match | Interesting interpretation of the theme! The controls were a little unintuitive, and hard to tell apart from the game world. Maybe let the player be able to control the wind by rotating the wind icon directly? Maybe have some more graphical hints of how the parameters will affect how the fire spreads. <br/>Cool game, nice work! :) |
| Aug 25 15:19:00 | 5m 00s | Nomzilla: Munching Mayhem | Simple and fun! Super cute graphics! Reminded me of the style of Earthbound. Nice work! |
| Aug 25 15:24:00 | 5m 00s | Crepuscule | Cool game! I like the simple controls, pretty clever! Sometimes the position of the jaw bugged and the bottom half was positioned on top of the lower. A highscore would have been cool! <br/>Nice work, creepy monster! Oh wait it was me all along, never mind.. :P |
| Aug 25 15:38:00 | 14m 00s | Monster Eggs | Fun game! :) The blue monster seems kind of pointless, maybe make that attack better or give him custom enemies? Would love to have seen more kinds of monsters. The controls felt like a game for mobile, are you planning on releasing it for mobile? <br/>Nice work! |
| Aug 26 16:01:00 | 24h 23m | bloody tentacles | Cool tentacle effect, nice work! I found the controls pretty unintuitive, maybe make it possible to control the tentacles with the arrow keys? <br/>I like the menacing atmosphere in the game! :) |
| Aug 26 16:19:00 | 18m 00s | Hero Mate | Really cool concept and really well executed! Super nice work! My only complaints are: <br/>The music, it was really annoying. <br/>The level with the large squid. The jump timing and hit areas are too unforgiving, combined with the music and the fact that you have to clear the gap 4 times, made me give up. <br/>But all in all one of the best and most original entries I've played so far, really nice work!! :D |
| Aug 26 20:16:00 | 3h 57m | Even In Your Ludum Dare | Weird game.. The hitbox felt a little messed up after the uh thingymajig got too large. :I |
| Aug 31 20:13:00 | 119h 57m | D.A.S.H | Nice moves and effects! It was a little awkward to play with a keyboard though. It felt like there was something missing in the gameplay, but I cannot really figure out what. Maybe a slo-mo effect when, for example, throwing enemies? Oh and some camera shake and sound effects for that extra "oomph" perhaps? :) <br/>Neat game, clean graphical style that I think you can explore even further should you continue developing this! |
| Aug 31 20:22:00 | 9m 00s | Feed the Monsters | Yeah, consider fixing the web link so that you don't have to download it in order to play (link to the html-file instead of the folder). <br/>The game itself is pretty neat, I think the sheep run away from you in a really nice way. Cute graphical style and nice idea, but it lacks a little polish. |
| Aug 31 20:29:00 | 7m 00s | Run Fonster, Run! | Really hard when the hunters have such large field of view and turn around instantly. The step sound is pretty annoying as well. The graphics are simple but cute, especially the poor little monster. I love stealth games, and though this could do with some more polish, it captures the essence and suspense of stealth games, nice work! :) |
| Aug 31 20:51:00 | 22m 00s | BIG BAD WOLF | Nice puzzle game! I love the muted explosions, they go well with the toned down colour palette. The puzzles are a little too simple, but I guess that the main challenge is to get gold on all. You managed to make a lot of levels! Really cool! <br/>Nice work! :) |
| Aug 31 21:04:00 | 13m 00s | Mobs, Inc. | Wow this is good! So well polished, the gameplay, the art, the animations and the music and sfx. It all comes together so perfectly. The boss is awesome! <br/>Only thing I missed was a "You're fired!" on game over. <br/>Really nice work with everything! :D |
| Aug 31 21:16:00 | 12m 00s | Chompy | Cute game, I like how you interpreted the theme! I found it pretty annoying that the level reset completely when you died, some checkpoints would've been nice. <br/>Nice retro graphics, but the fish-eye effect was a tiny bit nauseating. <br/>Nice work overall! :) |
| Aug 31 21:20:00 | 4m 00s | Cant i just stretch my neck peacefully ? | Ooh an emscripten game! Cool! I've been itching to try out emscripten myself. Seeing how you managed to create a game with your framework during the compo is really cool and inspiring, nice work! <br/>Fun game idea as well, although it could do with some further polishing. I like the funny title. :P |
