| Aug 24 10:34:00 | MISHMASH | Fist thing that caught my eye was the graphics. The simple, yet adorable artstyle was perfect for the competion. The audio was also great as the music was ambient and fit the environment. However, the game felt unfinished due to things like the cursor being a black box, for example. The gameplay also felt a bit unbalanced as the randomization often screwed me over (the worst case being stuck with no planets on screen and dying due to not being able to move). Overall a decent game, with an awesome presentation. | |
| Aug 24 10:43:00 | 9m 00s | Ancient Storm: Legends of the League of Defence Heroes 2 | This game was quite interesting. The graphics had that coder graphics charm. The audio was simple but maybe a bit too much. The music could have benefitted from being a little longer and more SFXs would have helped. The chat was quite amusing and the mood you set was cool. However, I did not see the theme shine through besides the fact you're controlling a monster. Overall, a cool little game that just lacks some polish. |
| Aug 24 10:55:00 | 12m 00s | Takodemon | This was a good entry! I loved the graphics. Simple yet effective. The audio was also great and added so much to the excellent atmosphere. The implementation of the theme was quite creative with you literally controlling a M-O-N-S-T-E-R. <br/>However, that is a double edged sword as those lettershave almost no relation to one another which made for really akward control. Overall, a good entry cut just a little short by the theme. |
| Aug 24 11:10:00 | 15m 00s | Monster Academy | Great art! Cool music and sounds and awesome and adorable take on the theme. It felt very polished although some of the mini games could have been explained better. Overall, very nice entry! |
| Aug 24 11:39:00 | 29m 00s | Bad Boss | Quite nice! The idea was cool, however it was a tad confusing and the controls could have been better. It has quite a bit of charm, though and the graphics had quite a bit of style. Overall, pretty good. |
| Aug 24 11:49:00 | 10m 00s | The Jig Is Up | A cool little idea. The graphics were simple and effective. The movement was smooth and I like the message you get when you die :D:D:D |
| Aug 24 12:01:00 | 12m 00s | The Net | The graphics and mood fit the hacking thing you had going. However, it did not fit the theme at all. Nothing in the game implied being a monster, or heck, even being remotely related to one. Also I could not figure out the controls. They seemed unreliable as I kept missing the shooting even when aimed. |
| Aug 24 12:18:00 | 17m 00s | Back for Dinner | The atmosphere was great and the idea, considering the fact it was done in 48h was very ambitious. It was a little buggy and quite difficult but overall a good entry. |
| Aug 24 12:30:00 | 12m 00s | Pirate Snail | A fun little idea. I liked the character and the art style was also quite good. The movement felt more like I was controlling a race car rather than a snail (ironic as that may sound). The combat could have benefited from some sound effects and maybe some animation. The take on the theme, despite being creative, was a little unfitting. Overall, and okay entry that lacked some polish. |
| Aug 24 12:41:00 | 11m 00s | Monster in the House | Nice little arcade game. I think the take on the theme is the most morbid I have seen so far. The raphics also fit and add to that, as well as the music. The game is quite difficult but also rewarding. Overall, a good entry! |
| Aug 24 12:47:00 | 6m 00s | server INFLICTION | Not sure how much of a take on the theme this is. Not very traditional but quite morbid for sure. The game isn't much of a game but it's very good looking and sounding. Especially the elevator music. Overall a decent entry. |
| Aug 24 12:53:00 | 6m 00s | Grave | This was one of the few LD entries I can say was really solidly built. I had no issue with the controls in any way. The combat felt fun and responsive and the delay the inputs had was delibarate and made for a much deeper combat system. The graphics were stellar and the atmosphere was on point. Overall, a awesome entry that felt very polished. |
| Aug 24 13:13:00 | 20m 00s | Lair of the Scare | This game had tons of personality. The character is simple yet works so well. A gentleman monster. That's just brilliant. And it's not just a story element either, it's gamplay one too, since you don't actually kill anyone but just scare them as you don't believe in violence. It gets even better when you realise the louder your scream is the more scary it is. And that reflects in the sound design as well since your scream goes from a skreech to a cute roar to a monster-like roar. Other than that the gameplay is functional and the graphics have lots of charm to them. Overall, a good entry that put me in a good mood. |
| Aug 24 14:14:00 | 1h 01m | Do You Understand ? | The game was neat! I like the music and presentation, very much oldschool which fit with the theme of making these enemies that for some of have been programmed since a young age to think are bad seem like victims. The controls were nothing special, but felt responsive and functional on a keyboard. The twist on the theme was quite creative and I like how it was short and I was able to finish it which is not something I can say about a lot of entries. It took me some time to understand(no pun intended) but when I did I was satisfied with this short and neat game. I like it! |
| Aug 24 14:29:00 | 15m 00s | The Troll's Toll | I liked this entry a lot. The aesthetic was charming and the fairy tale like narration was a good contrast to the twist ending. Speaking of which, why would you have the first screenshot be your game's ending. Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot but still. I was sort of spoilt. Anyway, the actual RPG mechanics were okay, however, I feel like there were two issues. The lack of sound effects and the fact that anything less than the most gentle of taps on my arrow keys seemed to shoot the selection off by like 3 squares. Other than that I feel this was one of the more creative and well executed entries of LD. |
| Aug 24 14:46:00 | 17m 00s | Sweet Mom | At first I was like: "Dafuq is this? Like, a crappy Game Maker game someone made in 10 minutes with collision detection worse than the climate on Uranus?". But then...I figured out it was actually quite funny and pretty interesting. Not to mention actually well made from a technical standpoint. And the graphics have a charm to them, too. "A game where you murder your children 10/10"-IGN |
| Aug 24 14:57:00 | 11m 00s | Cursed Monster Baby | The graphics were nice and worked well. As more of a proof of concept I think it was quite well made. The curse/bonus system was cool and the randomly generated dungeon crawling game is a nice idea. I had a bit of issue with the controls as they felt slippery, yet slow. Other than that a nice entry. |
| Aug 24 15:11:00 | 14m 00s | Up & Away! | As one of the only few 3D platformer entries I have seen, this one is quite nice. The graphics are well done and remind me of old PS1 style platfromers - nice and colorful. The controls were good and responsive but I hate the fact that you cannot turn to face a particular direction without taking a step in that direction. It just makes the whole thing feel slippery. The camera also needed some work. a free camera would have been much better than the fixed one you have since it made me do leaps of faith with no clue where I am going. Other than that, for a game made in such a short amount of time, this felt cool. |
| Aug 24 15:24:00 | 13m 00s | Bunny Inferno | This was really good! I like the simplicity, yet challenge and addictiveness of the gameplay. I also love the sound effects. They are so cute and yet rewarding. Same goes for the graphics. I also love the creative literal interpretation of the theme. In this game, you, yourself, the player are the monster. And you having fun doing it! |
| Aug 24 15:44:00 | 20m 00s | StoneWalker | I like it! |
| Aug 24 16:55:00 | 1h 11m | Fairycula | I like the idea of the character xD The game was nice, but the infinitely spawning enemies and the lack of animation dragged it down a bit IMO. |
| Aug 24 18:38:00 | 1h 43m | Unfriendly village | Excellent graphics style that reminded me of Binding of Isaac. The sound effects were also nice and the music added to the atmosphere. The theme was well done and had a nice twist of something nice being turned into a monster. It was also fun to play. So overall, a great entry! |
| Aug 24 21:04:00 | 2h 26m | Klonos | The graphics and sound were nice and simple. The gameplay was fun and the bosses added some much needed variety. Overall, a cool entry! |
| Aug 24 22:36:00 | 1h 32m | Unwelcome Presence | For a game made in such a small period of time this entry is just breathtaking. The amount of detail in the presentation that was achieved is incredible. The graphics are very well done and the black and white work so well to create a beautiful game. The ambiant music and sounds really add to the creepy atmosphere this game has. The gameplay is also fun with controls and mechanics you'd expect from a AAA title, not a LD entry. They are obviously not as polished as everything feels a little clunky but they're still impressive. Overall, an impressive and good entry! |
| Aug 24 22:40:00 | 4m 00s | Consume | As a mood piece it works quite well~ |
| Aug 25 09:20:00 | 10h 40m | Ollie's Journey | I have to say this is one of the most functional and leanghty entries of this Ludum Dare. The graphics are nice and work very well and the music is awesome. Made even more awesome by the fact that almost each area has its own piece of music. The controls are nice and fluid and the level design, besides being a tad on the simple side worked. It lacked some polish though. Minor bugs can be found here and there but for a game made in such a short time that is understandable. However, I also encountered some more major bugs such as the E key bugging out and not registering and being knocked inside a wall by an enemy and falling into oblivion with the only option being a restart. Other than that, a very solid entry! |
| Aug 25 11:54:00 | 2h 34m | The Devil's Daughter | Best entry of Ludum Dare I've seen so far! The amount of content (and extremely well made content I might add) is astonishing. The art style is perfect for the sort of game this is and it looks great, too. The music is well made and oldschool and the gameplay is not the most innovative idea ever but it's polished almost to perfection. It's also funny and has a charm to it that few LD games have. Overall, as I said, best entry I have seen so far! Only problem is the fact you jump with W. I really wished there was a dedicated button for it. |
| Aug 25 14:21:00 | 2h 27m | Trullskoll | For a 48h game this is very well made. The simple two palette art works great, the sound effects are nice. The controls are responsive and the mechanics are well thought out. Overall, a great entry! |
| Aug 26 15:35:00 | 25h 14m | From SLIME to KING | One of the more polished entries out there. The idea is nice and the implementation is also good. I like the variety the random dungeon layouts bring and also the randmoness of the slimes is a very nice touch. I love the triple jump as a way to navigate the random levels witout overcomplicating the algorythm for them. The graphics were very well done and so was the music. The only issue I have is that the compat is quite akward but then again that might be just me not getting it. Overall, very solid entry. |
| Aug 26 16:33:00 | 58m 00s | U no take Loot! | I like the take on the theme. It is a nice cute spin on the dungeon crawler genre. The graphics music and sounds were simple and worked well. The controls were fluid and the mechanics were solid. It was fun to play. My main issue is: the ranged enemies' arrows were hard to see due to how small they were and how similar they were in color to the floor tiles. Other than that, a solid fun entry (if not a little on the easy side). |
| Aug 26 16:45:00 | 12m 00s | Project Jumpius | The main mechanic is simple yet works very well. The idea of smashing things around is very fun. The audio-visual presentation is also good although simplistic. The monster was not the most original design but the gameplay was the main focus. I feel a game that was a little more leniant would have been more fun. But overall, great entry! |
| Aug 26 17:02:00 | 17m 00s | A Heart between Parts | Another very solid entry! I feel the art, music, writing and overall atmosphere kept it together the most as they were outstanding. The gameplay was by no means bad, it was simple, but effective. Overall, a really solid entry that maybe could have stood to be a touch longer. But being left wanting more is definitely a good sign of the game's quality~ |
| Aug 26 17:14:00 | 12m 00s | Super Chop | First of all, I love the take on the theme. It is so unusual, yet works very well. The graphics and sound were good and it does exactly what a good LD entry is supposed to: make one simple mechanic and run with it. It's a very well made entry! |
| Aug 26 17:18:00 | 4m 00s | Glauron | Nicely done. It's simple but works. Reminds me very much of a mobile game. The graphics were smooth and the gameplay was simple and to the point. Overall, good entry. |
| Aug 26 17:47:00 | 29m 00s | McTremson Bar | The music was outstanding and the graphics were great. Those two things were the main contributors to this game's awesome mood. It really captured that Noire feeling. The gameplay was also interesting, with loads of replay value due to the different endings. However, a way to speed things up on repeated playthroughs would have been nice. Perhaps just a faster movement speed? And the dialogue system I feel could have benefitted from being something a little more standart than the click on the speech bubbles to close them. Other than those small issues this was one of the best enries I have seen so far! |
| Aug 26 17:58:00 | 11m 00s | I am Death and Fire | Great art and sound design that set a mood that works amazingly well for being a dragon with a lust of death and destruction. The gameplay was also nice, but simple. I feel a few things would have improved it. First of all, a way to regain health. No matter how skilled you are, you will die. I feel for this sort of game where you're a badass dragon it would have worked best with a way to last longer based on skill. Second, I think some more feedback for the player would have been awesome. Especially when you're taking down the buildings and the balloons. Despite those little pieces of constructive criticism, this was a great entry! |
| Aug 26 18:08:00 | 10m 00s | Soup | This was the most oddly satisfying game I have played this LD. The graphics were sleek and the audio was good. Not sure if it fit the theme as it was stretching the term monster quite a lot. The gameplay was fun and simple, though so I don't mind. Overall, a really solid entry! |
| Aug 26 18:22:00 | 14m 00s | Dude, Stop | Extremely creative take on the theme! I feel the scenes were classic examples of everyday mundane "monsters" :D I feel some of the objects could have been made easier to interact with, but other than that, superb entry! |
| Aug 26 18:29:00 | 7m 00s | (You are the) monster gaiden | The graphics and music were extremely charming. So was the game as a whole. The gameplay was pretty much non-existant but it is the most well made fluffy monster sim with pointless stats out there so 10/10. |
| Aug 26 18:52:00 | 23m 00s | Corruption-5 | Let's start with the graphics. They were very simple pixel art much like most Ludum Dare entries out there. That said, they were well done and what helped them stand out a ton ware the screen effects and lighting. That and the creepy ambient music and sound effects made this a very interesting narritive especially considering how short it is. This is definitely the best and most touching narritive experience I have had this LD. Other than that, the gameplay was simple and to the point and everything else felt very well put together and polished. Overall, a great entry! |
| Aug 28 11:07:00 | 40h 15m | The Red Planet | Lovely retro shooter aesthetic! The sounds were simple, but worked and the story telling was quite well done. My one and only issue is the controls. For me at least, keyboard only FPS just don't work very well. I think I would have liked it a ton more if it had more standart FPS controls with a mouse. That said, this is my personal preference and people might disagree. It doesn't take away from the polish this entry had~ |
| Aug 28 16:16:00 | 5h 09m | The Werewolf Among Others | Ahaha! I love the little nod to The Wolf Among Us with the title. Other than that, solid, good looking/sounding and challenging game! |
| Aug 28 17:48:00 | 1h 32m | Sewer Monster City | This is one good looking/sounding game. The graphics are fantastic and so is the music. The controls were quite good but took some getting used to. The slippery nature gave quite a bit of weight to the character, however, I felt with how percise the platforming got, this did more bad than good. Other than that, a great oldschool entry! |
| Aug 28 20:25:00 | 2h 37m | Slasher | This was a good entry, however I feel there was lots of room for improvement. Please don't take my constructive criticism as something harsh as I still enjoyed this entry quite a lot, I just felt like it could have been a bit better. Some actual walking animations(even if it was simple two frame ones) would have added a bunch. The killing them in order was a nice mechanic as it added strategy to your murder, but I feel it needed more balance for skill as I found the most efficient way of killing them was just waiting around for them to go in one of the window rooms and jumping in on them. The waiting got a touch boring but it was a nice contrast to the adrenalin rush that was the actual slashing them to pieces. Another thing that would have made it better is to have some reactions even if it is just something minor like chat changing to the bodies. Finally, some randomization of the house to keep it fresh would also have been awesome. I realize these features were WAY too much to add in such a small time frame, but I point them out simply because I feel this game was very well made and fun and just wanted to hypothesize about its full potential. Overall, great entry! |
| Aug 29 14:06:00 | 17h 41m | iMonster | The presentation was lovely! The simple, yet well execute aesthetic was fantastic and the music as simple as it might be, added a lot of atmosphere and didn't get annoying even though it was only a couple of notes. The movement was done very nicely and I liked the mirror effect. The game would have benefitted from some more challenge and rewards however. Perhaps a way for the enemies to actually hurt you? Other than that, very nice entry! |
| Aug 29 14:48:00 | 42m 00s | Separated | The presentation was fantastic for selling the theme of being the misunderstood lonely monster. From the well made character sprite that captures the emotion of the game perfectly, to the lovely graphics, lighting and music it all sets the atmosphere very well. Other than that, I didn't see much to do outside of soaking in the environment and emotion. That's my one issue with it, other than that - lovely entry! |
| Aug 29 14:57:00 | 9m 00s | The Bear Hunter | The graphics were well made but I did suffer some screen distortion sometimes. It was very minor though and the game still looked great. The piano melody was strong and was a nice mood piece but I felt it was just a touch too short and a touch too pronounced to be just a atmospheric track. The gameplay was simple and to the point and the story was well told and was a nice twist on fairy tale, RPG like narritives. Overall, a very solid entry with a few flaws that are understandable with the short time period! |
| Aug 29 17:48:00 | 2h 51m | Investigator and the Case of the Red Herring | The graphics style was awesome and quite original for the jam as we don't see that many games that aren't pixel-y in their aesthetic. The story was well made and kept me interested throughout. The writing was very solid and I had no issue with it. I loved the characters' destinct personalities and their names especially xD The music worked well to set the atmosphere. If I had a few things to say in terms of criticism would be potentially some sound effects and there being more of a game to this. It was more of a visual novel, which would have been fine, but you include the whole clues tab and everything but we never really get to use it. I understand time limitations but I still felt the need to address that. Other then those two things, it was a well written, interesting and lenghty entry with loads of charm! |
| Aug 29 17:56:00 | 8m 00s | The Admin Of The Dungeon -In a MMORPG- | The visuals were nice and oldschool and so was the music. The idea was quite innovative and at first I didn't get what I was supposed to do but then I realized it's all in the order you activate the traps. Overall, a very polished entry that has quite a bit more depth in its mechanics than most other LD games I have seen. |
| Aug 29 18:16:00 | 20m 00s | Hell Court | The idea was very creative and the execution was quite good. I feel like a more fun way of actually punishing people would have been better. That said, I didn't make it far but what I did play was very creative and well made. Overall, good entry! |
| Aug 30 16:19:00 | 22h 03m | Stealth Yeti | This game was very well made! The visuals were very well done. Not only were they pretty but also had some thought put in them beyond that. The choice of color as orange for the levels was easy on the eyes but also allowed for the Yeti's cooler colors to stand out. The sound was rather simplistic but it was functional. The choice of monster was quite original and the game was pretty difficult(couldn't get past the second level. Overall, a great entry! |
| Aug 30 16:33:00 | 14m 00s | Monster Disco | The game's visuals are phenomenal and the music is as well. The take on the theme was very inventive and the gameplay was cool. I think a sort of tutorial on the game's mechanics would have been useful. That's really the only issue I have, other than that - brilliant entry! |
| Sep 2 18:24:00 | 73h 51m | Inokan | The graphics were delightful and the atmosphere of the underwater setting worked well, in my opinion. The music was some classic hard rock to get you pumped. The gameplay was simple, but functional. I like the game overall, but I feel some things could have been done better. Mostly the combat. The enemies being semi-transparent was a cool visual choice but I feel threats in your game should be the most noticable visual elements so you can avoid them better. The second issue is the way the enemies spawned. Often I would find myself getting blind-sided by them since they were so abundant and spawned so close to me. The final problem I have is the fact that without any limit on the magic attack the melee is sort of useless. That said, just a bit of constructive feedback. Take it or leave it, I still think this was a good entry~ |
| Sep 2 21:17:00 | 2h 53m | Werewolf Quest | This was a fantastic entry! So good in fact I would say it makes my top 5, if not top 3. The concept was simple but well executed. The graphics had a retro charm to them and even the slight blur(which I would usually find unprofessional with pixel games) somehow worked, so props on that! The sounds were nice and meaty and the lack of music didn't really bother me. The mechanics were solid and I found pretty much no bugs. The game was challenging and fun, although that one switch part is a little annoying so glad to know you got it fixed. Overall, a simple but very well executed entry! One of the best I have come across so far~ |
| Sep 2 21:50:00 | 33m 00s | GUILLOTINE | Fantastic entry! I loved the idea of the guy getting his head chopped off and then having to get it back with the powerups being other heads. It was really creative! The control was smooth and had a Castlevania vibe to it with how slow you moved and how delayed your attacks were. The graphics were very nice and I love the old school horror look to it. The atmospheric music also worked well. My main issue is with the level design as it can get extremly harsh at times. Some of the mechanics and platforming challenges just didn't seem to fit with the way the character moved and attacked. Other than that, great entry! |
| Sep 3 08:22:00 | 10h 32m | Terabyte | This in my opinion is a perfect example of a great game that was unfortunately plagued by the time limit. The graphics which were finished were fantastic and I especially love the palette on the main character. The mechanis had thought put into them and I liked the concepts. My main criticism is the fact it was not really finished and it showed. Placeholder enemies and such. I won't really be harsh on unfinished work, however. My only issue with the finished parts was the control scheme. For a PC I feel a mouse controled top down shooter 9 times out of 10 works better. That's my only gripe. Other than that, this has a lot of potential if it is completed! |
| Sep 3 08:33:00 | 11m 00s | Lardum | When I fisrt saw this, I wasn't going in with high expectations, to be honest. I was completely proven wrong, as soon as I opened the game. This might not be the most complex, or length-y or pretty game LD has to offer but it has tonnes of charm which I often find sticks with players much longer than any great pixel art. As soon as I checked out the tutorial I knew this game was going to be something else and I enjoyed it as a whole. It was funny, joked around with RPG and fairy tale tropes well and the voice acting was nice and really added a lot, especially for the monster. Overall, I feel this is one of the most charming and memorable entries I have seen so far! |
| Sep 3 21:26:00 | 12h 53m | Moon Base Shootout | The controls were smooth and the mechanics are solid. I particularly enjoyed the vacuum idea. I feel if that part was expanded upon and this was more of a puzzler it would have been all the better. The story was nice and the graphics were simple yet worked so well. I enjoyed the little touches such as shells on the ground and the fact the only really colors were the enemies. Speaking of the enemies, I think some of them bugged out as I was unable to kill them. Other than that, this was a very solid entry! |
| Sep 4 18:49:00 | 21h 23m | The Supper | The mood was fantastic and the take on the theme was creative. It was quite a fun game as well but much like other LD entries(including mine), I feel a tutorial would have helped~ Other than that, great entry! |
| Sep 4 21:54:00 | 3h 05m | The Monster Files | I really like the narritive, music and graphics. Point and clicks as a genre rely majorly on content and having lots of it so I don't think it's the best choic for a jam. That said, with the limited amount of time what you managed to create was impressive and well done. The fighting mechanics were quite clunky but that's understandable. Overall, great entry! |
| Sep 7 17:39:00 | 67h 45m | Player Rush | The presentation was fantastic as both the music and graphics were well made. I especially like the old TV sort of effect the whole game had. The voices were amusing mostly due to how generic they sounded xD The gameplay was simple and to the point however I felt it was overly simplistic. One attack just wasn't enough to hold my interest for all too long. That said, this is impressively well made and I congratulate you on a great entry! |
| Sep 7 20:34:00 | 2h 55m | Mobs, Inc. | The presentation was outstanding. I loved the way the pixel art looked and this was very polished in terms of screen shake and effects and everything really. The upgrades all worked very well and the combat while simple at first was surprisingly engaging and challenging. I loved the take on the theme and overall loved the entry. Only thing that needed some polish is some more feedback when the player is hit as I found I very easily lost track of when I was getting hurt. I did play without sound so it might have been the issue for me. |
| Sep 7 20:50:00 | 16m 00s | Monster - Your Worst Is Our Best | This is probably one of the best entries I have seen! The graphics are lovely and so is the music. The concept is great and reminds me much of Papers, please! only less stressful. Keeping the game in one room would have gotten boring but the randomization turns this otherwise lazy design into something spectacularly engaging! Especially with the fact some of the qualities were very vague so you had no clue if you were interpreting it right. It really made me feel like a detective! Amazingly well made! |
| Sep 7 20:58:00 | 8m 00s | Micromancer | The idea was fantastic! Not much necromancy seen in LD entries. The art and music were outstanding and I especially loved the strategy of limiting the minions at the start introduced. It's all about what order you kill people in. I loved it! |
| Sep 7 21:04:00 | 6m 00s | Elven Blood | I liked the idea of this a whole bunch and the mood was well done with the music being sinister and the darkness being played up! The stealth aspect was simple but worked well. The controls felt quite clunky but delibarately so - you are a small child after all! I feel this entry would have worked even better with some more time to polish things up but I can say that for almost every entry, including my own. Overall, good job on this! |
| Sep 8 20:58:00 | 23h 54m | Fear Syndicate Thesis | The idea for this was fantastic! I love the post-apocaliptic atmosphere and I was especially intrigued by the camera tricks. I might even implement them in some of my future projects, so great job! The gameplay was fun and a nice base for a great game! The story was nice and the trippy-ness was quite well done. A few issues, though. I repeatedly got stuck on the building. It was very annoying as I had to restart. The other thing is that the girls seamed to have the same voice as the guys. Other than that, fantastic entry! |
| Sep 9 10:44:00 | 13h 46m | Lil' Drake | The game had a very charming 8-bit aesthetic! I loved it! I also thought that the simplicity of the game mechanics was a great idea! It kept things approachable, yet challenging. It was quite difficult as per NES standard but it never felt impossible which is a sign of great design. I did miss some audio, though. It's understandable however. Overall, fantastic entry! |
| Sep 9 14:53:00 | 4h 09m | Aliensche! | The graphics were very simple but worked well and the music was extremly fitting for this fast paced game. I love the concept of stealing cows and I found the idea of a twist on the grabber machine but with aliens very amusing. It was fun, simple and well presented. Great entry! |
| Sep 9 15:52:00 | 59m 00s | Monster Break Out | I loved the look of this! Very dark and cold much like a prison actually would feel. The setting also made up for the lack of music as the graphics and sound effects were more than enough to get the atmosphere across, especially with such good lighting. The story was interesting although the ending was a little forced. Either being more subtle or being more blunt would have made it better(example: Having a snipper from a paper saying: "Convicted serial killer now on the loose!" or something like that). I did find some bugs. Rolling seemed to get me stuck inside of walls quite easily. Other than that, I would say keep working and adding things and this could turn into a fantastic mix of platforming and point and clicks. I like it a lot as is already! |
| Sep 9 18:02:00 | 2h 10m | 40 and still a Zombie | I liked this a lot! The concept was very original and the presentation was great both in the music and art department! The gameplay was simple and to the point yet managed to be challenging at the same time. I only found the relaxing section's controls very clunky but that was probably the point. That said, fantastic entry! |
| Sep 11 18:58:00 | 48h 56m | Monstre de Coiffure | The graphics were lovely, the idea was nice and the execusion was quite good. Perhaps a way to extend time depending on how good you are would have been nice, however. |
| Sep 11 19:03:00 | 5m 00s | Intergalactic Love Machine | This was a well made simple game with a great presentation. I would say more depth but it's already good as it is so great work! |
| Sep 13 15:41:00 | 44h 38m | Melody Muncher | The soundtrack was fabulous! I loved it! The graphics were basic pixel art but it felt fitting for the sound track. The concept was awesome for Ludum Dare, and I loved that it had only one mechanic that was deep enough to last the entire game without getting stale. Overall, great work! The timing sometimes did feel a bit off, though even with around 50ms adjustments in both ways ^^' |
| Sep 13 19:56:00 | 4h 15m | Escape From Twump Tower | The graphics and music were very very charming. The idea was clever and quite relevant to today's times. It was quite amusing to see Not-Trump TRUMP on some peoples' heads. The only issue I found was that the controls would often get stuck. So if I was moving right it would get stuck moving right, etc. Might be an issue on my end, though. |
| Sep 14 10:10:00 | 14h 14m | Almost Heroic | This was a great oldschool style RPG! I love the graphics, as they feel like a natural modernization of stuff like the old Pokemon games while still keeping that Gameboy style. I particularly loved the reflections of the clouds in the water. It really helped the world feel more alive and real. The music was nice and fitting for the game. The writing was overall nice and a good take on the classic video game tropes that have become second nature for most, but are quite monstrous when you give them a thought. Overall, I liked it a bunch! I just wished the combat was a bit slower, but that's mostly my general video game ineptitude speaking xD |
| Sep 14 10:31:00 | 21m 00s | Alice & August: A Love Story | I like the mood of it a lot! I think the lack of animation in the game as a whole was a very nice choice as walking down a huge hallway felt quite unsettling. The story seemed compelling and as a mood piece it felt great. Unlike some of the other commentors I didn't mind the walking speed or the long hallways, I just wished it was a more liniar piece. I also thought the movement was quite clunky as sometiems he would akwardly stop for what seemed to be no reason. The friction he had also didn't feel very smooth. Those are nitpicks, however. I loved it as a mood piece! The music was nice and atmospheric too! |
| Sep 14 10:42:00 | 11m 00s | R-ADIUS | The game looked very nice. The music was very repetitive, however. Understandable, though. I really like the concept. The AI for the ship was very clever and the delay on the attacks forced you to have quite a bit of strategy and timing. I do feel that the minions felt useless, since I never managed to hit the ship with them. Other than that, good entry! |
| Sep 14 11:20:00 | 38m 00s | Death of a Lich | This game is a looker! I loved the art style and just the general polish of everything! I was particularly impressed with the fire particles. Spectacular! The game had a great atmosphere to it, too, despite the lack of music. The mechanics were very unique but I feel a way to attack without getting hurt would have been cool. Then again, the theme is that you want to end your suffering via death so I guess it's fitting. |
| Sep 14 11:25:00 | 5m 00s | The Old One | Gorgeous game! The concept was fantastic as well. It really had a sense of scale with the humans being so small and the attacks being delayed. Good job! |
| Sep 14 15:30:00 | 4h 05m | There are Tourists in my Castle | I loved it! It had so much charm, especially with how bouncy everyone's running animations were. They fit well with the already great music. The mechanics were simple, but felt engaging and the story and humour was nice. Overall, one of the best this LD! |
| Sep 14 16:26:00 | 56m 00s | KaijuKrush | The graphics were charming and the audio was repetetive, yet awesome. I especially loved the remix on the level select screen. The monster could have stood to have some animation. The concept was simple but brilliant but I just wished there was a bit more strategy besides blindly bashing things. I liked it despite that, though! |
| Sep 14 17:47:00 | 1h 21m | Was It Something I Said? | Fantastic entry! I loved the take on the theme. The monster was adorable it its clumsy-ness. I loved the music, it fit so well. The graphics had a charm to them, even though they were not traditionally impressive(not saying they were bad). I also loved the little touches. The "make friends" button's only purpose was to pick up food crates and rocks. It's like the only thing that understands him are inanimate objects and food. A thing that I feel many depressed people might think. I did find the ending I got(I assume there was more than one) interesting. It took more effort than just going on and pushing forward but was also happy. It shows in a way that if a person tries hard enough they can climb out of depression no matter how down they may feel. That might be me digging too much into it, however. Great entry! |
| Sep 14 19:03:00 | 1h 16m | Some Knights Left | This game was very charming! I loved the sound of it, it was extremely satifying and cute at times. The gameplay was simple, but functional and I simply loved the way the little guy before the waves was implemented. Stellar entry! |
| Sep 14 19:15:00 | 12m 00s | Lady Bug | This was stellar! I loved the simplicity and despite it it was really engaging and having a good run in a level feels so amazing. It also looks and sounds great, too. It's hard as hell, though. I'd say that's the main fault with it. I tcould have stood to be a little more forgiving. Other than that, fantastic! |
