Aug 24 22:42:00 Where am I ? Very nice visuals and atmosphere. The voices were well done, very sinister. Also liked the plot twist at the end. Should have been obvious given the theme but it still surprised me. <br/> <br/>It was however very irritating that I couldn't strafe. Strafing is so common in 1st person games that I tried to strafe all the time even tough it was obvious that it isn't possible. <br/> <br/>Since you are asking about those rain, thunder and footstep sounds. Using them is definitely against the rules. Everything has to be made by you. So if you ask yourself whether you are allowed to use an asset in your game or not, the question you should be asking is "Did I make that asset?". <br/>No one is going to police it but you really are giving yourself an unfair advantage by using these. It's ok to use assets made by others in the jam but not in the compo. <br/> <br/>I hope I don't sound to harsh, I really think your entry is fine and since you were open about using those sound effects I don't see any malicious intent. I just tried to inform you about the rules :)
Aug 25 15:21:00 16h 39m Monster of the Deep Nice little game. I would have liked more swimmers, boats and mines though. I was alone on the screen for most of the time. <br/>Also sound would improve the game considerably.
Aug 25 15:22:00 1m 00s Clicker Monster I agree with the comments above. You shouldn't be using those assets in the compo.
Aug 25 15:36:00 14m 00s Nombeast Jr. Runs fine for me in chrome. I liked the visuals and the music was pleasant. <br/>However I had touble nomming people up since I couldn't reach their level. Either I was to heigh or to low.
Aug 25 16:34:00 58m 00s underworld siege Wow, this one is really good! I want to play some more which is very rare with Ludum dare games. <br/>It's rather hard though and I only played on easy.
Aug 25 16:38:00 4m 00s Hunter You are the monster! How could you make this game and like that :(
Aug 25 16:43:00 5m 00s Mornings of a Seventeen Year-Old Girl Really nice looking and polished entry. Well done. <br/> <br/>What's the connection to the theme though?
Aug 25 18:37:00 1h 54m Mr. Yeti's Fast Food Fantastic game. The art is cute and quirky, the controls are snappy, the animations are lively, the sound is great, though the music is a bit dull. But still great job overall.
Aug 25 19:15:00 38m 00s Goomba Simulator 2015 It's always nice to see a fellow Libgdx dev :) <br/> <br/>I really like the story and humor. Never thought about where marios come from.
Aug 25 19:23:00 8m 00s Tentacle Smash The game ran well for me and I liked it. The music was very eerie. <br/> <br/>But can the game be won? At the end I got the message "You lost", so can I actually win the game?
Aug 25 19:49:00 26m 00s BLACKFESK Oh my the music blew me out of the water! The best song I've heard this Ludum dare. <br/>The graphics were awesome as well and the game was fun overall. <br/>However I had trouble with the controls. Using an Xbox controller the movement of the tentacles seemed inverted. and flapped around but didn't have the feeling of really knowing what I was doing. <br/>There also seemed to be no goal, so I lost motivation to continue. Dying turned out to be a challenge as the game seems to be a bit to easy. <br/> <br/>But these are all minor points really I really think BLACKFESK is a great game. Good job!
Aug 25 20:06:00 17m 00s The Holly Matter Ah it super cool to see you in Ludum Dare. I'm really looking forward to take a peek at your source code. I'm sure I can learn a few tricks from the maker of Overlap2d. <br/> <br/>On my first try one of the fanatics got stuck in the middle of the path. There was nothing in the way or anything everyone else passed him, but this guy was just jittering to an fro. So I couldn't finish the level. <br/>So I restarted the game and I played to level 3 where the same thing happened. I already reached the goal so the towers were no longer firing. So again I couldn't finish the level because one guy was stuck. <br/> <br/>But still I liked the game. It is quite polished and the art style is very nice (I especially like the intro screen). The music is a bit annoying with the "gospel" but it fits the game well. As the others have noted more depth wouldn't have hurt. <br/>Good job overall.
Aug 25 20:45:00 39m 00s Kidnapped This was super creepy but where is the connection to the theme? <br/>I didn't manage to get any further then chapter 2. I lived but there was no option for chapter 3. What did I miss?
Aug 26 09:11:00 12h 26m Monster Hotel At first I wanted to comment about the long waiting times, but since others have written about it already let me pick up something else. <br/>I had trouble finding and reading how much money I had. Increasing the contrast between the text and the background would help.
Aug 26 09:28:00 17m 00s Don't Steal My Treasure! I didn't get that I can fight the enemies directly. I was evading them, trying to place traps but couldn't so I was a little frustrated at first. I accidentally bumped into an enemy and finally got it. It was a lot more fun from there. <br/>It feels like the game could well be expanded upon. I would like to be able to block certain paths to better utilise my traps for example. Lots of potential here. <br/>Good job!
Aug 26 09:37:00 9m 00s Unfinished Super Nothing Game! I was able to play it and it ran smoothly (using chrome). <br/>However I have no idea what I was supposed to do. I guess you weren't joking when you wrote it's super unfinished.
Aug 26 09:57:00 20m 00s The Monster Way Really nice art. It's not super fancy but I really like the perspective and the style in general. <br/>The writing was excellent and it was overall a fun read. I wonder how many endings and branches there are.
Aug 26 10:08:00 11m 00s The Monster Agenda What's not to like about exploding poop?
Aug 26 10:23:00 15m 00s Spoody Looks like a cool mechanic but I fell through the floor and everything became super laggy (Web version). I will try the windows build later.
Aug 26 18:39:00 8h 16m DRUMSTER The WebGL build threw an error and refused to work (Chrome). <br/>The windows build ran fine. <br/> <br/>Really nice Art and music but I don't see the connection to the theme. <br/>Other than that it was a fun rhythm game though it became to difficult for me rather quickly. The key bindings don't seem to be optimal.
Aug 26 19:44:00 1h 05m Sticky-me Hurrah for stickyness! I like the concept and it's well executed, though very short. <br/>My main complaint would be the controls though. I'm not sure what the optimal controls would be but I'm sure it could be improved. Maybe dragging the controllable elements with the mouse would work well.
Aug 26 20:17:00 33m 00s Monster Disco Yummy, those pixels be delicious.
Aug 26 21:04:00 47m 00s I am Death and Fire Oh my that is the best looking game I've played this Ludum Dare. This would even be gorgeous held next to a commercial game. <br/>Everything else isn't not to shabby either. It controls well, sounds good and is fun for a short while. <br/> <br/>My biggest complaint is the lack in variety and challenge.
Aug 26 22:46:00 1h 42m A Heart between Parts Such wonderful art, especially like the color palette. <br/>Everything is just lovely. <br/> <br/>Super minor complaint is that the characters mouth is moving even when here mouth is sewn shut.
Aug 27 00:21:00 1h 35m A-maze-ing Monster! The the base idea is interesting and it's well implemented. I had fun playing it but since the map doesn't change there is no motivation to play it some more. With random (or multiple) maps you could easily double the fun :) <br/> <br/>I didn't get the warrior skill. It leaves a fire behind but it's not casting any light, so what use is it? <br/> <br/>The audio loop seemed very short (or just repetitive, not sure). But it was pleasant enough and didn't annoy me. I actually liked the stereo effects. <br/> <br/>Also I think it's cool that you involved your family. Pretty good entry for the first time. <br/> <br/>Btw thanks for your detailed feedback on my game :)
Aug 27 21:02:00 20h 41m 1-800-Monsters The art style is very cute and some of the puzzles are good. <br/> <br/>Why does the game send me to the first level again? This is super disappointing. Just quit the game, show some text, anything! <br/>Still a very good entry.
Aug 30 00:13:00 51h 11m Nimble Outstanding visuals! It's a joy to look at. <br/>Though I wish there was more to the game than just quicktime events. It's well made but lacks depth. But maybe that's too much to ask from a Ludum Dare game.
Aug 30 00:27:00 14m 00s Executioner That's a heavy hitting game. You really succeeded at making me feel like a monster, so you really nailed the theme. But unfortunately that makes the game no fun for me. I don't enjoy being the monster :( <br/> <br/>You could have pushed the game further though. After making me decide you should present me the consequences of my decision. Tell me how many orphans I produced, how much money the imprisonment costs and so on. This would make my decisions feel a lot more relevant.
Aug 31 19:48:00 43h 21m Monstre de Coiffure Everything about this games is just wonderful.
Sep 1 08:29:00 12h 41m B(L)OB Impressive result for the few hours you put into it. Really like the audio.
Sep 1 09:34:00 1h 05m Grave Really impressive entry. Nice visuals and gameplay. Seems very polished.
Sep 2 12:21:00 26h 47m R-ADIUS Argh that ship is just to agile! It was a lot of fun to hunt the ship but it's just a little bit too hard to hit. A shorter cooldown would have helped. <br/>Maybe instead of the cooldown you could have implented higher cost for shots in rapid succession? That way I wouldn't be able to spam either but had the freedom to plan my attacks better. Would have given the game more depth. <br/> <br/>Also I would have liked to fire my weapons with the keyboard (maybe using the keys 1, 2, 3). <br/> <br/>Still a good entry, well done!
Sep 3 22:02:00 33h 41m Room Chaos Monster Haha I know that monster too well!
Sep 4 10:45:00 12h 43m You Are The Monster Sadly there is very little variety so smashing the buildings becomes boring very quickly. Maybe I missed something?
Sep 6 09:02:00 46h 17m Necromorph We have a winner right here. Very innovative and fun to play, great looking, nails the theme and even has a great name. <br/>The only thing missing is music. Odd to leave it out considering this is a jam entry.
Sep 6 19:21:00 10h 19m Bloodworm Wow, really brilliant mechanic!
