Aug 24 15:16:00 Death of a Lich This is a really great twist on the classic turn-based rogue-like game. Beautifully polished, too. Wonderful.
Aug 24 16:41:00 1h 25m Klonos Wow, nice to see a Pico8 game. I thought just making a game in 48 hours was tough. Would have been nice if felt a bit faster and had a few more mechanics. I liked the second boss but it killed me pretty quickly :P
Aug 25 00:36:00 7h 55m The Shippening It felt great taking control of the airship. I found it really difficult to line it up to shoot the dragon though. :P Love the dragon btw
Aug 25 00:53:00 17m 00s Pegakitty Saves the World! I enjoyed this. Loved the music and the fact that you seem to have totally rebelled against the theme (or maybe you're being far too subtle for me). Love the rainbow thing. Adorableness.
Aug 25 01:29:00 36m 00s I AM THE SUN Well this is incredibly mysterious and beautiful. I don't think I'll ever find out if there's an end to this but I must admit I'm intrigued!
Aug 25 01:51:00 22m 00s Unsolicited Outstanding
Aug 25 02:54:00 1h 03m UMON Ah this is brilliant. Really interesting twist on the cookie clicker thing! The "water closet" thing started to drive me a bit mad when the humans got powerful enough that I could only kill one human inbetween deaths. Maybe I put too much money in the wrong things :) The art and sound are just amazing. Love it!
Aug 25 12:12:00 9h 18m Grave I like the sprite work here, simple but effective. Pretty upset about having to watch an advert in order to play this though. :(
Aug 25 12:19:00 7m 00s Boss Stomp! Amusing :)
Aug 25 17:34:00 5h 15m Not Cookiemonster Cor, that's got some very tight timings! Glad I finished it though!
Aug 25 17:39:00 5m 00s Birdy Bridge It's lovely this. I got frustrated with the meteor shower though, I'm afraid.
Aug 25 20:11:00 2h 32m Tricks and Treats Aw this was adorable and fun, loved it :)
Aug 25 20:16:00 5m 00s You need a Hug I enjoyed the voice work and loved the music. The game itself seems like it was about the right length for me, too.
Aug 25 20:25:00 9m 00s Lovers on a Park Bench Well this is so unbelievably strange and confusing but this didn't stop me thinking it was great. Love the voice synth (or is it a voice synth effect?!).. and the story. And the art style really worked too. I killed my ex (only in your game though)
Aug 25 23:19:00 2h 54m Carewolf Just joyful. Loved the humour. It had a very strong idiom. I killed loads of people but it didn't make me feel bad about it :P
Aug 26 11:42:00 12h 23m Exogorth The raymarch shader is brilliant. I just wish there were mouse controls for this, I just couldn't stop myself crashing into things! <br/> <br/>Your mosaics are brilliant btw. Thank you for doing those :)
Aug 26 18:50:00 7h 08m The Devil's Daughter So this is brilliant. I can actually see it being released commercially if you can fix up some of the control issues (I found jumping from one wall to another unbelievably difficult) but yeah, unbelievably strong idiom, fantastic audio, lot of fun. Nice!
Aug 30 23:11:00 100h 21m GROWL So at the heart of this seems to be a pretty fun concept and I could see myself wanting to keep playing this but honestly I think the presentation is way too over the top for me. The colours and the vibrations, it's like it's deliberately trying to be as unpleasant as possible, but maybe that's a matter of personal taste. The effects are impressive though and it's at least a consistent and coherent style. <br/> <br/>I had to read the instructions to figure out how to play this and even now I'm not *100%* convinced I understand it exactly. It seems like you can destroy lines if the laser sweeps paste the circle on the end, but only if they're within a certain range and only if you're going a specific direction? <br/> <br/>I'm giving you detailed feedback cos honestly I feel like this is really promising. I'd actually really love a more basic down to earth version of this with raw gameplay at its heart rather than flashy effects. :)
Sep 1 16:14:00 41h 03m Meet the Monsta Five stars for the art, no question. A shame I couldn't really see a cursor in the web version I played, made it really difficult to play. But this style... oh my god. How gorgeous. Love it!
Sep 2 14:55:00 22h 41m Werewolf Quest Loved the graphics for this. I couldn't quite work out how to reach the pink switch though. I didn't seem to leap any higher when powered by the moon. I assume I'm doing something wrong. Adorable entry though :)
Sep 3 15:54:00 24h 59m Knight lighter I enjoyed the art on this. The game was a bit on the simple side, sort of space invaders meets tower defence.. but I did have a few goes at it so that's positive :)
Sep 3 15:57:00 3m 00s Forest monster! Very easy to just pick up and play so pretty enjoyable.
Sep 3 16:01:00 4m 00s With $1000 I could probably conquere the world. I don't recall seeing a cookie clicker game that had a narrative before. I enjoyed this :)
Sep 3 16:16:00 15m 00s Cursed This is lovely. The art is obviously very cute but the thing that really made this work for me was the way that the wolf would howl, giving me a breather as I was running around and also adding to the music.. I loved that!
Sep 3 16:19:00 3m 00s You are the boss Interesting idea. I would have enjoyed some more sense that what I was doing was influencing the next day's performance.
Sep 3 18:33:00 2h 14m Wasted Waters Nice art and the gameplay is fun. Thanks :)
Sep 3 18:41:00 8m 00s Gravity Snake I can't quite believe I've not seen a "snake with gravity" game before. Worked really well for me. Nice.
Sep 4 11:49:00 17h 08m Autobahn Monster I liked the way shooting had a cost, gave this a bit of a twist I thought.
Sep 4 12:30:00 41m 00s Gojira-Chan no Densetsu Graphics were very professional and the game itself was fun (if very short and buggy like you said). Very spammy web hosting though which was a shame. Amusing :)
Sep 4 12:38:00 8m 00s Crepuscule Lovely presentation, really liked the graphics. I found teh gameplay a little limited though, but once I got the hang of the controls it was pretty satisfying for a little while :)
Sep 4 12:45:00 7m 00s Someone stole the Princess! I ended up on a level where the exit didn't work. Not sure how that happened but I enjoyed playing it up to that point. Very well executed, nice graphics too.
Sep 4 15:33:00 2h 48m The abandoned bewitched mansion I'm afraid to say that this game completely crashed my browser forcing me to restart it :P It happened when it cut to a cut scene with the little girl looking frightened behind a box. Some lovely stylistic touches in what I saw though. <br/> <br/>Also your text says WASD but I found that it used the cursor keys?
Sep 4 15:37:00 4m 00s They Look Like Ants Nice art style. Obviously it would have been nice to have some sort of sense of the ants reacting to being judged and things. Emergent behaviour etc.. but obviously not practical for a game jam. This was amusing to play with though. Those poor ants.
Sep 4 15:48:00 11m 00s PixelMonster Interesting concept. I found mixing the colours to get the exact right one pretty challenging. Some sort of indicator would have helped enormously I think.
Sep 4 15:52:00 4m 00s Mild Mannered Richard Gorgeous art. Tricky controls though, took me a little while to get used to it but I managed it eventually. Nice entry!
Sep 4 16:02:00 10m 00s Lure.Lair.Lunch Sorry, your OSX download didn't work for me. :(
Sep 4 16:24:00 22m 00s R-ADIUS It's sort of weird that this is the first game I've played this ludum dare with this mechanic. I was hoping there'd be more! I'd have preferred it if the cooldowns were a lot shorter by default and the ship was a bit dumber.. but this was still really good.
Sep 4 17:20:00 56m 00s A-maze-ing Monster! Enjoyed exploring the maze but I didn't quite pick up on the idea of the different objectives for the monster and the human without reading the instructions. PS the OSX version worked perfectly for me!
Sep 5 08:46:00 15h 26m Melody Muncher Obviously 5 stars for audio. Just... obviously. I also love rhythm games so played this one all the way through. The graphics were minimalist but really effective, worked perfect. All in all an outstanding entry, definitely one of the best I've played from the compo.
Sep 5 09:29:00 43m 00s Dude, Stop This is a great concept, love the art style but: I've not played whatever that card game is for the first level so no idea what that's all about. Also I couldn't get past the salt and pepper level. I clicked everywhere but nothing seemed to work. <br/> <br/>Still, this was wonderfully original and entertaining so high marks from me :)
Sep 5 09:38:00 9m 00s Escape From Twump Tower Adorable and polished art, although I struggled with the controls I'm afraid to say. I saw from the screenshots that you could pick up the safe, so I tried to do that and it ended up somehow getting pushed right until it was outside of the playable area. No idea what was going on. I therefore got stuck in the little little bit where the safe was because i couldn't jump out. If only I'd just left it alone! <br/> <br/>Still, this is a really solid entry. Did I mention how amazing your pixel art is?
Sep 5 09:48:00 10m 00s The Monster Files Really enjoyed solving the cases. Nice mechanic there, great art, it was wonderful. I found your use of the theme pretty refreshing too. I must admit I didn't enjoy the switch to a fighting game. It felt unnecessary for me. The case solving was more than enough (maybe if I didn't find it impossible to beat the monster I'd feel differently though). <br/> <br/>Still a great entry though, no question :)
Sep 5 10:03:00 15m 00s Adula Great art and animation. Probably the shortest ludum dare game I ever played. I got very confused with the controls being listed as "cursor" because I assumed that meant cursor keys. Eventually I tried the mouse! <br/> <br/>Clearly this level of art has a price in terms of how much you can do in 48 hours but it's nice to see this quality, even as a tiny snapshot, in the competition.
Sep 5 13:36:00 3h 33m Monster Academy Whoa. Solid 5 stars for everything. Just wonderful. Everything about it. Oh my god.
Sep 6 12:34:00 22h 58m Lil' Drake It's a cool mechanic and I don't recall seeing it before, and I found it a lot of fun until I got to the level with the giant grinder wheel which you had to go under, then around, then over it.. then up a passage with a little grinder protecting it. It was hard enough getting over that grinder but then timing it so that I could get up that passage was just beyond me completely, so it sort of jumped the fun shark for me there. I must have died over 40 times before I just gave up. <br/> <br/>Art was good, and overall this felt very solid and complete.
Sep 8 09:51:00 45h 17m PokEscape: Magicrap's Stealthy Journey for Survival & Gyrodeuce Weirdly this game seems to be greater than the sum of its parts if you know what I mean. I've never played Pokemon so I'm going to assume the music is some sort of reference to music in that sort of game but it drove me bonkers by the end :) The art was beautiful and suited the game well. <br/> <br/>The game itself, sure, you can just run for it but I played it to get as many coins as I could (ended up with 11). The mechanic of hunger + edible cover = very interesting indeed. Definitely turned it into an actual challenge to play properly. The decision to let you try escaping from the balls was a very good one, too. <br/> <br/>Thanks for making it :)
Sep 12 19:33:00 105h 42m The Loved Ones Wow this was dark. The game might not have much to it but it's beautifully executed and a really original (and more lateral) twist on the theme.
Sep 15 00:41:00 53h 08m A Bad Wolf King is Hard to Feed Beautiful game and I really appreciated the almost Nintendo-like music. I'm sort of glad you just completely ignored the theme because with.. what... 25 minutes of the competition to go.. I'm completely sick of the monster thing. Like, really. I wasn't able to play it with a gamepad and I realised that was going to make it almost impossible for me to get all the thingies in the time... but overall this was a lovely thing to play. Thanks :)
