| Aug 25 21:44:00 | Lovers on a Park Bench | A really original game, telling the story through typing gameplay is something I have not seen before. The voice acting was cool and I dig the visual style. The combat part caught me by surprise though and it was kinda hard for me to focus on both things, the typing and the combat. Overall though, a really nice game! | |
| Aug 25 22:02:00 | 18m 00s | Ladybirds massacre | Really cool to see a game made in Blender! As for the game itself: The idea is a nice one, but the execution is a little rough around the edges. On first start I couldn't understand the voice acting because it was too quiet so I turned up the volume and then after the intro the music was very loud. The gameplay really is pretty hard, that bait just moves soooo fast. On the other hand, if it wouldn't, the game would be too easy. Some small bugs I noticed: When you go off screen, you will most likely never find your way back. You lost anyway, so it would be nice to have the level restart automatically. Also, there was a little clipping through the floor. Overall though, I enjoyed it, mostly because of the difficulty. Good job! |
| Aug 25 22:27:00 | 25m 00s | Birdy Bridge | Wow, this is a really good game! I enjoyed the mechanics quite a lot, a nice mixture of puzzle and timing. It would've been nice to be able to jump back to previously set birds. Also, the meteors were kinda hard, especially on the level they first occured. After that it got better, because the timing was somehow more predictable. I made it to the final level, but couldn't figure out how to beat the bird monster. The boss level itself however offered a very nice, challenging gameplay experience. Graphics and audio are also really good. Overall, I liked it very much, good job! |
| Aug 25 22:45:00 | 18m 00s | Not Enough Souls | Pretty cool game! I do like the art style and the gameplay mechanics. The controls feel really good and immediate. The locking mechanic is cool, but due to the time needed to lock on to an enemy from afar I found myself mostly just moving close to the enemies and killing them by simply pressing space. I could imagine though that with a little more work this mechanic could feel amazing, hovering through the air, locking on to enemies and then striking down on them. Maybe some time slowing could do the trick. <br/>One small complaint: The font was a little hard to read in the controls menu. Oh, and some music would've been great. <br/>Overall, I enjoyed this game a lot, good job! |
| Aug 25 23:37:00 | 52m 00s | Night Feast | The intro is really, really funny, great voice acting too! The gameplay unfortunately didn't really work for me or maybe I just couldn't figure out how to do it right. I feasted on one or two without a hunter being present on screen and then they started shooting at me from off screen. I escaped to the roofs, but when I came back down to have another feast there were still hunters shooting from off screen, which was pretty frustrating. <br/>Thanks to the humor though I enjoyed this nontheless. |
| Aug 26 23:03:00 | 23h 26m | Electro Magnetic Purge | I do like the visual style of this game. Together with the soundscape it creates a nice mood. The gameplay was somehow confusing though, maybe because of bugs. At the beginning I was able to navigate to the thruster and gun and equip myself, all while a spaceship was clipping through the planet and shooting at me. After I killed that one, I flew through space and killed other ships, who were just flying there and doing nothing. The shooting was kinda stressful, because I had to click for every shot, being able to hold down the mouse button to shoot constantly would've been nice. <br/>Overall, there is potential here, but unfortunately the bugs and/or unfinishedness of the game keep it from being a gratifying experience. I did enjoy the mood quite a bit though! |
| Aug 26 23:23:00 | 20m 00s | Drama in Space | A fun game this is. The graphics are pretty simple, but the music is really nice. The gameplay was very enjoyable, though it would've been cool to have some more enemy types. Controls work well, but I had somehow expected that the advanced engine would enable you to thrust backwards, which unfortunately it didn't. I stopped playing at around 12k points, because the way to the next unlock at 20k seemed to be taking pretty long. The unlock mechanics and the different weapons are a very nice progression. A very nice game overall, good job! |
| Aug 26 23:41:00 | 18m 00s | Chompy | A great little game this is! The difficulty felt just right, I don't think it's that hard. :) <br/>I enjoyed the visuals quite a bit, very oldschool but charming and the effects like the overlay and the rotation when holes open up are great. <br/>The sound effects are nice, but I really miss some kind of retro soundtrack going along, it would've made the experience even better. <br/>Overall, I enjoyed it a lot! |
| Aug 26 23:55:00 | 14m 00s | It's Sunday | I just can't click fast enough for this game! :) <br/>Managed to make it to round 3, but then I just couldn't click fast enough to make the bar go up. With an autoclicker it's quite doable though. ^^ <br/>The visuals and audio are really nice and make the whole thing pretty hilarious. Good job overall! |
| Aug 27 00:15:00 | 20m 00s | Waning Moon | Wow, the visuals are just amazing, well done Bia! :) <br/>The idea for the game is also great, turning into a werewolve yourself and the villagers turning when they die, pretty damn cool. The gameplay is smooth, but I ended up with a little too many werewolves to handle by just using blocking, so I attacked and moved back a little when they attacked, which worked a little too well. Speaking of blocking: Please provide some alternative controls next time around, the combination of x and z on a qwertz keyboard layout is just painful. <br/>One small thing I noticed: When scrolling the screen, the main characters sprite stuttered a little bit. <br/>Overall, I enjoyed this game a whole lot, well done! |
| Aug 27 22:59:00 | 22h 44m | Earth Was a Bad Choice | As usual, your entry is really, really good. Gameplay is fun and easy to pick up, yet requires a little skill to stay up in the air longer. I died at level 9 and was like: "Oh please, don't make me start again from the beginning" and thankfully you didn't. :) <br/>I really enjoyed the visual the style and the music was amazing. Overall, this is just an awesome game, good job! |
| Aug 27 23:26:00 | 27m 00s | Unwelcome Presence | Wow, that was just breathtakingly atmospheric! The amazing visuals and soundscape create an unparalleled mood. When an enemy I hadn't noticed before suddenly ran towards me it really sent shivers down my spine. The gameplay itself is also very solid, but it sometimes felt like I should've hit an enemy but didn't. That's just a minor complaint though, overall this is really great and impressive. |
| Aug 27 23:54:00 | 28m 00s | The Mammoth: A Cave Painting | Wow, that was quite impressive. The visuals are just beautiful, very nice style. The audio fits this well and together with the very sad and well written story it really sets the mood. Gameplay was solid, a little slow, but it fit the rest of the game well. I felt like I could've maybe saved at least one of the little ones by being a bit more careful when running into the village and protecting them with my own body, maybe I'll try again later. One small bug I noticed: At the bottom of the screen, the sprites of the trees disappear before they're out of sight. <br/>Overall, I enjoyed this sad little story quite a bit. |
| Aug 28 12:27:00 | 12h 33m | Gruesome | Pretty fun little game. The gameplay and level design could've been a little more varied, but the hilarious soundeffects made eating those poor adventurers enjoyable. Music was also pretty good. <br/>Some vertical gameplay for example would've probably made it much better, in the current state of the game the ability to jump is pretty much useless. I imagine avoiding the light by jumping up somewhere and then striking down on adventurers. One small bug I noticed: If you haven't started the game and press Esc on the menu you get into the pause screen. If you continue from there on, you end up in an empty scene. <br/>Overall, I enjoyed this, good job! And props for having an options menu with rebindable keys, something I rarely see in LD games. |
| Aug 28 14:55:00 | 2h 28m | You are the star | This is fun little game. I really like the visual style, together with the very well fitting music and sounds it creates a nice comedic feeling. How to play the game was a little tricky to figure out, a tutorial would've been very helpful. Once I got how play to play, it was really fun to try to position the actors in front of the cameras. I mainly used the scream, because the other two disappeared a little too quick and the chilling field seemed to not be working properly sometimes. Overall, this is really nice game, good job! |
| Aug 28 15:58:00 | 1h 03m | A Forgetful Day | This could be an interesting story, but I couldn't finish it because of a bug where after I switched screens I ended up being stuck in a fence. Before that, it was quite interesting and mysterious, but there were also more bugs. Too name a few: It was possible to walk across the walls of a room. Sometimes when clicking on an object the character could not walk there. What was most confusing though was the sudden change of screens. I had no idea if I triggered it or if it would happen after a while or once I had interacted with all objects. I did like the visual style and I'm curious about the story, so if you'd upload a bugfixed version let me know and I'd be glad to give it another go. |
| Aug 28 16:55:00 | 57m 00s | A Bad Wolf King is Hard to Feed | I really enjoyed playing this. The visual style is nice and clean, the music is fantastic and the world just feels alive. The explorative gameplay is also something I really like. The controls work pretty well, but there are also problems: Sometimes jumping when underneath something was a bit frustrating because the colliders show no mercy. Also, the camera was stuttering sometimes. Apart from these minor things, I just loved this game and I'm hoping to see it developed further. |
| Aug 28 17:36:00 | 41m 00s | Freddy | This is a solid foundation for a game, nothing more but also nothing less. In the current state, it's not too much fun, because you basically just walk around and keep space pressed in front of houses. The only other interaction, which is avoiding the knights, has some potential, in that you have to try to keep away from those while destroying everything else, but it's also problematic, since often they spawn and immediately hit you and you can't do anything about it. Overall, this could be interesting if developed further, maybe with different enemy types, some that shoot at you or some whose line of sight you have to avoid in a stealth game kind of way. The progression through gaining exp and thus increasing your damage was nice. |
| Aug 28 18:00:00 | 24m 00s | Slime Advent | For a first time entry, this really is not bad. The controls work well, the graphics are okay and the sounds are just hilarious, especially when overlapping. The gameplay itself is little too straight forward, the special skills are not needed at all. Maybe with a little bit of level design this could become something really cool, like you eat some people and then are too fat to fit through a narrow gap and have to use the C skill or something like that to get them or become thinner temporarily. <br/>Overall, I enjoyed it, good job! |
| Sep 1 13:20:00 | 91h 20m | Trouble in Monsterland | Great one! I really enjoyed the visuals, the contrast between the characters and the environment works very well. The gameplay was fluid and smooth, but it really was a bit too easy and monotonous, one can just stand there and keep the mouse button pressed and wait for the enemies to run into their deaths. If some of the enemies were shooting at you, this would've felt much more varied. The humor is very entertaining, but the speech bubbles are sometimes hard to read because they are moving and go away fast due to their owners dying really fast. :) <br/>Please consider practicing a bit at sounds / music, it really ain't that hard to create some basic stuff and it would've turned a very good game into an amazing one. Great job overall, nonetheless! |
| Sep 1 14:09:00 | 49m 00s | I May Have Misunderstood: RPG | Very funny interpretation of the theme and you made a fun game from the idea. The graphics are great and almost photorealistic. :) <br/>The gameplay is alright, sometimes a little tedious. The stun never ever worked for me. There were also a few minor bugs, like the log not formatting correctly and displaying markup or the first aid changing the bar but not the numeric value of health. Apart from that, the progression felt nice, in the beginning there were some close fights and in the end my chars were unbeatable, just like it should be. <br/>Overall, I enjoyed this a lot, especially the humor (that end screen ^^), good job! |
| Sep 1 15:10:00 | 1h 01m | Road To Hell | A nice and pretty polished game. The visuals are good and the gameplay really solid. One thing that seemed a little random was how to lose a police car chasing you. At first it seemed like I have to make it bop into other cars, but that didn't work on other occasions (maybe a bug?). The tunnels were also a little mean, I could hear that I hit something in there, but couldn't see it. Also, I believe going into a tunnel with the police chasing you could be frustrating. Apart from these small things, I enjoyed playing this fast paced runner and could very well imagine this as a mobile game. Good job overall! |
| Sep 1 18:15:00 | 3h 05m | Nimble | The visual style is just great! Music is pretty awesome too. Everything seems really polished. The gameplay reminds me of rhythm games, but without the need to be in time. It works well, but there could be some more variety other than just pressing the arrow keys and sometimes space. Maybe even something small to mix things up, like having to press two buttons at the same time every now and then could improve the gameplay. <br/>Overall, I enjoyed this a lot nonetheless, good job! |
| Sep 1 18:26:00 | 11m 00s | GROWL | I suck at Super Hexagon. :) <br/>This game is, as you already mentioned, pretty similar. You managed to nail the visual style, it is gorgeous. The music and sounds are also really neat. Gameplay-wise it is a nice variation of Hexagon and just as hard, I barely made it to 30s. :) <br/>Overall, it is a very enjoyable game, good job! |
| Sep 1 18:45:00 | 19m 00s | SPACE JUNK | Very awesome game! Love the visual style, the music and sound effects and the humor. The gameplay is very interesting and works well, at the end I only had my lasers left, slowly losing more and more systems was great. Really the only complaint I have about this one: Using z and x together on a qwertz layout keyboard is just painful, please provide alternative inputs next time. |
| Sep 2 13:32:00 | 18h 47m | Takodemon | This is extremely impressive, especially considering it was made within 7 hours. The idea is brilliant and the execution even better. I love the visual style and the music, together it creates a nice dark atmosphere. It's really an awesome game all around! The only thing I missed was some kind of story, the mood would've been perfect to tell a sad little tale about the very cute monster. (maybe there's something at the end? I didn't manage to beat the last level...) <br/>Overall, one of the best games I played this LD, how you did all this within 7h is beyond me. :) |
| Sep 2 14:32:00 | 1h 00m | HOMUNCULUS | Really interesting game. It took me quite some time to figure it out, but I guess that's part of its appeal. The mood created through the strange visuals and mysterious soundscape is great. Gameplay-wise it could be really interesting against another player, the AI was pretty easy to beat. Figuring out what is actually going on was fun though. <br/>Overall, a very strange, but somehow beautiful and definitely interesting game. |
| Sep 3 10:44:00 | 20h 12m | Something deep | A pretty nice idea and well executed. Controlling those different tentacles was quite fun. As you already wrote, a mechanic to retract the tentacles would be nice, I ended up with most of my tentacles stuck to divers (due to my inability to time them correctly) and had to wait quite some time until they were available again. <br/>The visuals are nice to look at and the music fitting. Overall, I enjoyed this game quite a bit, good job! |
| Sep 12 16:18:00 | 221h 34m | Lil' Drake | Great and original gameplay, just the right amount of difficulty, a really awesome game! Some music would've made it even better. Loved the little corpses being tossed into the air by the blades. |
| Sep 12 16:50:00 | 32m 00s | The Monster Files | Wow, that was amazing! Great visuals and gameplay. Those battles were a really nice change of pace. The humor was also great, probably the funniest game I played this LD. I really enjoyed this a lot, good job! |
| Sep 13 14:26:00 | 21h 36m | Melody Muncher | It's just great! Beautiful visuals and amazing music, I love it! |
| Sep 13 14:49:00 | 23m 00s | Internship Adventure | A very interesting game. The basic idea is great, the different challenges provide quite the variety and the visuals are beautiful. It's also quite funny. Good job overall! |
| Sep 13 15:02:00 | 13m 00s | DRUMSTER | I really suck at rhythm games, so I did not play it for too long, but it was fun nonetheless. I watched the walkthrough video to see how the game progresses and stage 3 looks totally badass. :) <br/>Cool music, decent gameplay and nicely animated, good job overall! |
| Sep 13 17:22:00 | 2h 20m | Werewolf Quest | Quite an awesome game! The gameplay mechanic with the light as both health and power multiplier is kinda genius. The visuals are very beautiful and polished and the platforming works well too. Overall, I enjoyed this whole lot, good job! <br/>A few things that could be improved: <br/>The first and final boss had a little too much HP for my taste. <br/>Please consider adding some alternative controls, using z and x together on a qwertz layout keyboard is very painful. <br/>Obviously, some music would've been nice. |
| Sep 13 19:06:00 | 1h 44m | Mobs, Inc. | Wow, that is one impressive game! The visuals are stunning, the music and sounds great and the gameplay very fun and action packed. One of the best games of this LD for sure. |
| Sep 13 19:16:00 | 10m 00s | There's Plenty of Fish in the Sea | An interesting game, I would've loved to see how it plays out in the end. Unfortunately, due to the lack of savepoints combined with what seemed to be a pretty unfair collision detection I did not make it past the third level. |
| Sep 13 19:58:00 | 42m 00s | Bunny Inferno | A simple but very nice game. I do enjoy the visuals and the background sounds are not that bad at all. :) <br/>Overall, a fun little game, good job! |
| Sep 13 21:31:00 | 1h 33m | The Devil's Daughter | Hilarious, extremely polished, great voice acting, amazing visuals and great gameplay. I have no idea how you did all this within 72h, it's just impressive. |
| Sep 13 21:45:00 | 14m 00s | A Shadow In The Night | Very nice idea for controlling the movement of your character. It is pretty hard sometimes, but feels even more rewarding when succeeding. The visuals and audio are also very, very good. Overall, a great game, good job! |
| Sep 13 22:06:00 | 21m 00s | Siren's Serenade | Very interesting gameplay mechanics as well as nice visuals and audio, except for the sound she makes when eating, this one is kinda horrible. :) <br/>Overall, I enjoyed this a lot, good job! |
| Sep 14 10:36:00 | 12h 30m | Death of a Lich | A really great game, as usual from you. :) <br/>Graphics are top notch and the gameplay is one of the best I've seen this LD. The mechanics are just very clever and make you think about your next moves. <br/>I could easily imagine this being build upon and released as a full game someday. |
| Sep 14 11:05:00 | 29m 00s | Tenebrous Expanse | A very nice take on minigolf. I love the atmosphere, the smooth and beautiful visuals and especially the music. A great game overall! |
| Sep 14 11:12:00 | 7m 00s | Hungry Waters | A pretty nice game! The limited space and the moving bad thoughts made what appeared very simple quite challenging. The visuals and audio are obviously not the best, but are very okay for a first timer. Good job overall! |
| Sep 14 13:15:00 | 2h 03m | Delicious Cortex | Your games are always awesome and this one is no exception. Very nice gameplay mechanics combined with beautiful visuals and good sounds and music make for simply a great game. |
| Sep 14 15:16:00 | 2h 01m | Separated | What a beautifully sad "game". The visuals and audio are incredible. One can feel the isolation. I was hoping to find some significant other somewhere, but it was not meant to be... |
| Sep 14 17:44:00 | 2h 28m | The Fifth Apartment | A masterpiece of mood! The visuals are stunning and the story together with the haunting soundscape creates a dense atmospheric experience. Just amazing and fascinating! |
