Aug 24 06:35:00 Unsolicited Like Papers Please this one works well in drawing the player in. Liked the way the sounds and music worked with the graphics. Really nice entry and unique take on the theme.
Aug 24 06:58:00 23m 00s We Missed You! Fun little game. Love how cute the graphics were with the job you had to do, the colours are great and the small pixel art worked so well. The text was also great and kept me playing to see what else would be said. Did get fired after my first day on the job though so think I need more practice. Did wish I could have reversed the car though cause there was times where I got stuck between trees
Aug 24 07:13:00 15m 00s The Skullcatcher Just tried to play but the link isn't working. Will have to come back later and try again cause I like the screenshot provided and want to see how it plays.
Aug 24 07:24:00 11m 00s Klonos Nice minimalist pixel art and liked the little touch of being able to sit on benches. Did have issues with the attack though where I seemed to get hit when I would come flying back into position.
Aug 24 07:30:00 6m 00s Utterly not Tough game, think it might help if it eased into the difficulty jumps a little bit more cause it took me awhile of playing before I could get past the first area. Liked the minimalist colour palette though, think it helped with the layout of objects when playing and player to focus on the path.
Aug 24 07:38:00 8m 00s U no take Loot! Fun clever game which explained the reason why dragons need all that gold, traps and help are costly. Was quite difficult at first play but once I realised I could run ahead and buy lots of traps it really helped. Nice entry.
Aug 24 07:52:00 14m 00s Death of a Lich Another Ludum Dare down and another great entry. Found myself playing for longer then I'd care to admit. Great entry, liked the way you could see where you would drop below and the build up of attack and energy kept me playing just to see if next time I could go that little bit further.
Aug 24 07:57:00 5m 00s The Stowaway Nice entry with great visuals. Reminded of my old mac days with the black and white. Liked the take on the theme and the stealth aspect was well done. Was also a good touch to have the crew tally on bottom so you could know how you're progressing.
Aug 24 08:06:00 9m 00s Phylactery Having the same issue being unable to play. Will come back later and try again.
Aug 24 08:12:00 6m 00s Attack of Something That Looks Like a Spider Such a great concept and take on the theme. I loved all those old horror movies so this one is perfect for me. The atmosphere with the audio and visuals was really well done, Loved the voice over dialogue thought it worked great. Only wish I could feel more in control of the spider cause I did find it quite hard to navigate. Would definitely come back and play a more polished controls version if you kept this going.
Aug 24 08:22:00 10m 00s You are the Monsieur Those damn pesky robots won't leave monsieur alone. Fun platformer and liked the way you made it so that the weapons were french things. Took me a few deaths before I realised I could shoot the rolling wheels, was just dodging them at the start and was actual a fun challenge. Also really liked the run animation bounce.
Aug 24 08:40:00 18m 00s ENTROPY Nice atmosphere and tease at a bigger story, just wish there was more gameplay.
Aug 24 08:59:00 19m 00s Lurking Within Wondered around for awhile through the structures but didn't seem to find anything. Nice atmosphere though and think the footsteps might work better a little quieter since you walk around so much.
Aug 24 09:06:00 7m 00s Sewer Monster City Loved the whole game design, the characters colours and animations just work so well with the platformer style. Tough challenging game which I couldn't stop playing. Nicely done and great polished entry. The news story at the start was also a clever way of setting the scene.
Aug 24 09:12:00 6m 00s Nimble Cleverly done game with nice use of the theme. The art was one of the best I've seen so far, the colours just worked so well together. I've noted this down on my list of favourites so far.
Aug 24 09:17:00 5m 00s Celeste The movement of this is so awesome. Loved just flying around doing tricks especially since I pretty much sucked at the dogfighting aspect. Will be coming back to practice some more though. Minimalist art worked so well with the music.
Aug 24 12:45:00 3h 28m APT - Advanced Persistent Tabby The voice over is great, helps set the mood for the rest of the game. Found the wall jump a bit difficult to use but overall a nice entry.
Aug 24 12:46:00 1m 00s Tentacle Rescue : Summer of Love Funniest take on the theme I've seen so far, clever use of the monster idea.
Aug 24 12:46:00 0s WICKED SK8 Nice skateboarding entry, would be nice if the turning was a bit more polished but fun entry with clear goals.
Aug 24 12:48:00 2m 00s You must kill the slime monster Great use of the theme and interesting to see how long it takes to adjust your mindset from what your instincts normally make you do in these games. The particle slime and blood effects were also a nice touch. One of the better entries I've played so far and couldn't stop until I finished, so just need more levels now :)
Aug 24 12:48:00 0s Dead Girls In Space Nice art and atmosphere. As others have mentioned it would be good if the enemy bullets looked different.
Aug 24 12:49:00 1m 00s Alieanum Good solid entry for a first Ludum Dare so congratulations on finishing, always a great learning experience so keep going.
Aug 24 12:57:00 8m 00s Billi The Monster Nice simple entry just needs a bit of tightening with the controls.
Aug 24 13:08:00 11m 00s Room Chaos Monster Funny cute entry, liked the little chaos monster and doing his job. Would be nice if in the bonus level when items are dropping there was a shadow on the ground showing where it'll land cause I couldn't tell. Nice simple entry.
Aug 24 13:32:00 24m 00s Glauron Such a fun entry, really enjoyed playing this one. The dragon is really well animated and the flying handled great once you figured it out. Also liked that the arrows stayed in your body when you were hit, was a nice touch.
Aug 24 13:41:00 9m 00s Meeuw One of my favourites so far for just crazy fun. Saw some posts on twitter about this so it's nice to get my hands on it. With a fire breathing seagull, who can ride a bike as the protagonist you can't go wrong.
Aug 25 08:59:00 19h 18m Snake Strike The graphics and mood for this one are fantastic. Liked the snake movement.
Aug 25 09:07:00 8m 00s Mutant Snakopede Really nice submission and liked the use of the theme. The burrow was also a really nice stealth move which was fun to play around with.
Aug 25 09:17:00 10m 00s Drack's Mansion The art in this is really nice, liked the colours used and impressed with the detail. The variety of weapons was also a nice touch but I did find myself standing in one position mainly to kill them as they came at me but definitely understandable with the time limit. Fun game :)
Aug 25 09:44:00 27m 00s Fifty shades of chalk Nice game with simple controls that worked really well. The chalk aesthetic was a great touch. Only thing I'd suggest is an option for alternate keyboard controls cause Q & D aren't natural for some people. Fun game :)
Aug 25 09:54:00 10m 00s Laser Monster Defense Nice game, my highest score was 50 cause had issues moving faster on my laptop but still had fun. The design was well done and liked the monster eyes moving, helped add character.
Aug 25 10:56:00 1h 02m Outing with Frankie Great looking game. Fun use of the theme and the voiceovers were hilarious. Very polished minimalist experience.
Aug 25 11:08:00 12m 00s Hope Nice art, that title screen was beautiful. Liked the mood of the game and would be good to see this expanded upon.
Aug 25 11:15:00 7m 00s sector.33 Clever game, liked the simple design, worked really well. The visuals work nicely and liked the footsteps and lunge. Fun game.
Aug 25 11:23:00 8m 00s Grave One of my favourites so far, with awesome art. The controls worked so well and fighting gameplay was quite addictive. Very polished entry.
Aug 25 11:38:00 15m 00s The Howl The simple graphics are really nice. Liked the movement and weapon but did have issues knowing where I was aiming.
Aug 25 11:47:00 9m 00s The End of All We Know Great looking game, the monster movement was also really smooth. Did find it difficult to destroy the planets but guess that makes sense since they are plants.
Aug 25 11:55:00 8m 00s A Heart between Parts My favourite game so far. Absolutely loved the art and text, thought it was really nicely done. Big fan of old school adventures games so this hit the spot.
Aug 25 12:35:00 40m 00s Monster - Your Worst Is Our Best Interesting unique concept with some of the best graphics I've come across so far this Ludum dare. Another strong entry.
Aug 25 13:36:00 1h 01m Monster1 Really great game and liked the way you used the theme, one of my favourite uses so far. Also liked the old command prompt like interaction but did run into a bug. I connected and spread around the world but then a bug seemed to occur where it says : <br/>"Development Console" Canvas element contains more than 65535 vertices. This is not supported. <br/>Liked reading the emails in the folders to find out more about what was going on too, well written. <br/>Fun game and does make me want to go back and play an old text adventure.
Aug 25 13:43:00 7m 00s TAG! You're it! Cute take on the theme that is quite clever. Fun and quite addictive to run around and see if you can beat your last score. The graphics are also great and as you've mentioned the game is just missing some music which would really bring it together.
Aug 25 14:10:00 27m 00s server INFLICTION The standby music in this is great, works really well in setting up the waiting for your assignment to be completed. The simple design works well just wish there was a bit more gameplay variety.
Aug 25 14:27:00 17m 00s Lovers on a Park Bench Just tried the windows link and it says the file no longer exists. Web still works though so was able to play it through that. This game was really well done, nicely executed and felt really polished. Played it all the way through and got the "best" ending. The dialogue is great and can't find any fault in this. Impressed at your age and this is now on my list of favourite games this Ludum Dare. Oh yeah, before I forget the music worked really well in setting the mood.
Aug 25 14:36:00 9m 00s Vampire Legacy Haven't been able to play the game yet so can't rate. Downloaded the files and couldn't figure out how to run the game but will come back later on to see if there's been an update.
Sep 1 10:01:00 163h 25m The Banana Eater This was great, thought the minimalist use of colour with the black, white and yellow worked really well. Level layout also worked really well in guiding the player along without feeling like you're being to forced along the path. That music has also been my favourite so far. Right from the title screen it set a nice playful mood.
Sep 1 10:14:00 13m 00s Bad Kaiju Ju Liked the story and the simple look and gameplay took me back to playing the old atari. Would be nice if there was a title screen setting the story though so I could go straight into the game knowing what was happening.
Sep 1 10:32:00 18m 00s Barrel Roll Ultra! Liked the take on Donkey Kong and thought it was cleverly done. The art style was polished and the gameplay with the different levels was fun.
Sep 1 11:12:00 40m 00s Fishbowl Graphics in this are great, liked the overall trippy design and colour choices. Just wish the player movement was a bit smoother. The tear/lick was an interesting idea also.
Sep 1 11:25:00 13m 00s Curtain Call Funny entry, was well done. Liked the different newspaper endings. I left the theater which turns out wasn't the right move and then I completed the play but kept appearing at random which also didn't go down well. Cleverly done entry with the real time aspect.
Sep 1 13:01:00 1h 36m Project MONSTER Interesting take on the theme and liked the level generator aspect of the game just wish the exits stood out a bit more because it took me a bit to figure out.
Sep 1 13:18:00 17m 00s Escape From Twump Tower Great polished entry with nice use of the theme. Did get stuck up high when I couldn't make a ledge high above, tried building a platform with the rocks but they kept going through the ground when I'd get them three up.
Sep 1 13:35:00 17m 00s Road To Hell Great graphics and game was fun, just needed a bit less turning control and did die once without the restart button appearing.
Sep 1 13:46:00 11m 00s WAKE UP! Spread the TRUTH Interesting take on the theme and liked the way you had to use the different social networks to spread the "truths". The sounds worked well in the context and the text was fun. Did have issues at first figuring out what I was doing but after playing awhile I did get a hang of the sharing. Definitely understand with the time constraints it's hard to always make everything clear to the player so nice job on a unique entry.
Sep 1 14:00:00 14m 00s A Shadow In The Night This was a great entry with polished graphics and audio. Liked the whole concept of using your life force as your movement and having to be careful with how you approached the later levels so you didn't end up turning to dust. Clever mechanic and nice use of the theme. Have added it to my list of favourites from this Ludum Dare.
Sep 1 14:18:00 18m 00s Boss Stomp! Fun idea, liked the whole Aztec boss mechanic with the two big fists. Hard to control both at times but I think that just made it more fun and crazy. Also liked the way the two hands would hit together with impact, was a nice touch. Those poor rabbits... Did find the second special level really difficult though and couldn't beat it.
Sep 2 13:10:00 22h 52m Hydra Fun game and the whole hydra mechanic was an interesting way to play. Liked that you could control the separate heads or control segments, thought that was nicely done. Also was a fan of the music, was a nice change from what I've been hearing in most games so far.
Sep 2 13:29:00 19m 00s Fired Really interesting gameplay mechanic. Liked that you had to control the bullet to take out the targets but did find the controls on a trackpad a bit difficult, especially when going for the little guys on the floor.
Sep 3 10:53:00 21h 24m Loch Beautiful Ness Great cute concept with nice use of the theme, just needed a bit more gameplay but definitely a great effort for a first ludum dare, nice job.
Sep 3 11:07:00 14m 00s Hitogochi Clever game and nice to see the other side of the story of a tamagotchi. Graphics are great and the multiple endings were a nice touch.
Sep 3 11:15:00 8m 00s The Troll Toll Fun game with simple concept really well executed. Got a top score of 181.
Sep 3 11:39:00 24m 00s Who Shot First Great use of the theme. Loved the whole concept and execution just seemed to have issues pulling the gun out and moving around. But think it was just cause I'm on a laptop trackpad. One of my favourites so far though, liked the victim descriptions and thought they added some nice depth to your actions.
Sep 3 11:50:00 11m 00s Car of Monster Art was great but did have issues with the gameplay where it felt like i was sliding around rather then driving a car. Did find it easier to run people over rather then shooting them.
Sep 3 12:03:00 13m 00s The Troll's Toll The ending was a surprising and interesting take on the theme, nice to see a game push the theme further then what's expected. One thing I did find a bit distracting was the font. Think a pixel font would have worked really well with the great visuals of the game.
Sep 3 12:56:00 53m 00s Blood Moon Polished game with nice gameplay and difficulty progression. Impressed at how much you guys were able to get in and keep things balance with educating the player on everything. Great entry and the switch mechanic worked really well.
Sep 3 13:06:00 10m 00s Lady Bug Great game, loved the whole atmosphere and feel of it. The audio worked really well with the graphics and setup. Also tried the post jam version and think it is a nice improvement, would be nice to see a future version that is slightly more forgiving with the shooters being a fraction slowly and then maybe getting faster in later levels. Definitely understandable with the time constraints for this version though. Nice job.
Sep 3 13:58:00 52m 00s 1-800-Monsters One of the best looking games I've seen so far, loved the whole design and colours. Favourite touch though was that when things exploded you got to see you were actually just a kid in a costume.
Sep 3 14:13:00 15m 00s Monsters Reversed Nice puzzle game which does take getting some used to but once you figure it out it becomes quite a fun game. Would have been nice to see the monsters tail looping into the game segment and shooting out it's random coloured segments which would keep expanding.
Sep 3 14:22:00 9m 00s Cheats at Marathons by Not Breathing Fun game with nice addition to the runner of balancing your blood energy. Liked the animations of when you catch another runner but did have issues in my Chrome browser where when I clicked space the browser would go down the page and I'd have to move it back up to the game.
Sep 4 08:57:00 18h 35m yummy, tasty humans Cute game, like the style and look of the monster but wish the little guys also had a bit more character. The audio "I have to tweet about this" was also pretty funny, nice job.
Sep 4 09:08:00 11m 00s Village Terrorizer Liked that you could choose to watch the village grow instead of attacking, thought that was a nice addition but did have a bug in the tutorial where I couldn't keep walking forward and the camera kept stuttering. Only lasted a few seconds though and then I could keep walking to the cave.
Sep 4 10:05:00 57m 00s Wumpus World - Hunting The Hunter Nice game and spent more time playing then I care to admit trying to uncover the hero. Liked that when he shoots an arrow it reveals more tiles but I was still pretty hopeless and struggled to capture him. Fun game, nice job.
Sep 4 10:18:00 13m 00s Totem The art in this is lovely, some of the best visuals I've seen this Ludum Dare. The character design worked really well but I just wish there was a little bit more gameplay or an ending when you walk to the end. Think I must have missed the other ending. Beautiful entry though.
Sep 4 10:52:00 34m 00s The Monster of the Computer Great intro to set up the game and premise, definitely one of the strangest entries I've played.
Sep 4 11:13:00 21m 00s Back for Dinner This was a fun platformer. The evolution mechanic and upgrades were a great addition in keeping the player going. Kept playing just to see how the evolutions would look. Did find the speed and jump a bit too expensive though. Nice job.
Sep 4 11:49:00 36m 00s Campaign Trail OF BODIES Great concept with the campaign and the writing was really well written. Made playing smooth because it was interesting to find out more. Also liked that you had to manage things.
Sep 4 11:54:00 5m 00s Sirens Singing was pretty funny and the concept was nice and different. Liked that you had to manage your expansion and when to sing.
Sep 4 11:59:00 5m 00s Dinosawr Roflstomp The art in this is great and makes the simple gameplay fun. Spent quite awhile just running around and jumping causing havoc. Cutest game I've played that had you stomping little people.
Sep 4 12:17:00 18m 00s Internship Adventure Wow, this was great. Favourite game I've played so far. Everything felt so polished and thought out. The graphics were great and the change in lighting depending when it was time to play worked so well. Such a clever use of the theme also and can't fault you in any of the areas. Awesome job and nice to finally see the behind the scenes of a game set.
Sep 4 12:34:00 17m 00s Monster System Was always a big fan of rampage so like that this reminded me of it. The monster looked great and the game got pretty hectic, pretty quick. As others have mentioned controls were a bit awkward but like any LDJam it's always easy to run out of time and you've definitely made a fuller experience then the last one which is great to see :)
Sep 4 12:49:00 15m 00s A Bad Wolf King is Hard to Feed The atmosphere of this game is great, the visuals and music worked so well together. Did find the camera controls quite difficult though but still had a lot of fun trying to collect all the gold and just exploring the environment.
Sep 4 13:51:00 1h 02m PokEscape: Magicrap's Stealthy Journey for Survival & Gyrodeuce This was so much fun, just wish there was more levels cause I really enjoyed playing. The art was great and worked well with the story. Hopefully you keep going with this and release another version with more levels and the hunger mechanic adjusted to moves which I can understand you not doing with the short time you had.
Sep 4 15:09:00 1h 18m Don't get caught in focus The use of the theme is clever. Like that you play as Nessie and have to feed the myth by curing your loneliness. The blurry photos were also a really nice touch. Did find that my loneliness was hard to beat, might need a bit more easing into the difficulty. The menu display of jumbled notes was also a nice touch.
Sep 4 15:18:00 9m 00s Bloodworm This is great, one of my favourite entries so far. The graphics are great, loved the colours and the audio was fun. Liked the movement of the player but did take me a bit to figure out how it worked. Would be good to have a little intro tutorial. Great game though, nice job.
Sep 5 01:36:00 10h 18m The Monster I Am Nice game, liked the way you used physics aspects for the building destruction, controls were a bit floaty but with such a big time limit always hard to get everything right. Liked the rampage feel and the airplanes worked really well.
Sep 5 09:39:00 8h 03m Benched The art in this is great, but did have issues with the loading time from the menu. Left the computer on and came back to it once it had loaded. The concept is I nice play on the theme and the insult graphics are nice, just was a bit confused on which ones to choose.
Sep 13 05:27:00 187h 48m Quest for the Castle Liked the use of the webcam, was a nice touch to go with the theme. Wish you'd had more time to fill it out more but can understand with the last minute decision that was hard to do. Funny entry.
Sep 13 06:04:00 37m 00s Soul Eater Nice looking platformer and the addition of extra moves to collect worked well. Liked the run animation thought it conveyed the fast movement and the orbs chasing you if you ran away from them was a nice touch
