|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 14 23:25:00 | Growing Madness | Reminded me a bit of WarioWare. The minigames are interesting and there seems to be a lot of them :] I'd recommend some music, and a check to make sure keys that represent left and right are actually left and right of each other. I found that a little disorienting. Also I am the GREATEST at climbing that ladder. | |
| Dec 14 23:43:00 | 18m 00s | The Rap Game | Really solid game! The art was great, and using record scratch to represent rap voice was a fun idea. The UI was a bit sparse. I would have liked just a little bit more indication of what was going on, but it fit the aesthetic well. |
| Dec 15 00:17:00 | 34m 00s | Zen Jen | Jen graphics were cute, and the zen sequences were mesmerizing. A little bit more guidance at the beginning would have been nice, but I got it figured out. |
| Dec 15 00:24:00 | 7m 00s | The Quest Of The Two Buttons | Great game! I'd play this on my phone post-compo if I could. |
| Dec 15 00:30:00 | 6m 00s | Shoot Or Don't Shoot | I like the concept, and it seems like everything works well. Alas, I am too slow to truly shine at this game. |
| Dec 15 00:44:00 | 14m 00s | Feed the Cat | Cute graphics. I think a little movement or scrolling from the background would really add a lot to this game though. |
| Dec 15 01:05:00 | 21m 00s | Edo Arena | Great concept, animations are smooth. This is a lot of fun. The controls felt a little bit sluggish, and I did encounter that issue with enemies getting stuck in the player, but I still enjoyed it enough to play up through the sai and armory. The shop was a great addition. |
| Dec 15 01:07:00 | 2m 00s | The Crystal Thief | The graphics look a little inconsistent with each other, but everything works. I would like to see a little more depth in gameplay, but the matching mechanic does well as it is. |
| Dec 15 01:16:00 | 9m 00s | Molly's Dreaming | I launched the gophers into space! : D I liked that items in bubbles would let you collect fast things by hitting them with your noodley body, but I wish hitting an item with your head was an instance collect. But I LAUNCHED GOPHERS INTO SPACE! : D |
| Dec 15 01:25:00 | 9m 00s | The War of Japants | It is impossible to play this game without a huge, stupid grin. That said, the level generation felt a little trollish. Adding a double jump would go a long ways toward helping the player get through a tough segment. I greatly enjoyed the headband physics. |
| Dec 15 01:47:00 | 22m 00s | Flowershop Tale | I really wish there was more to this. The graphics and audio are gorgeous! I wanted to play more. |
| Dec 15 01:53:00 | 6m 00s | Oklahoma Tempest | As an art piece, this was beautiful. The graphics were top-shelf, and the audio was fitting if a bit sparse. Gameplay-wise, I wish there had been a bit more depth. I played this several times through just for the art though. Fancy! |
| Dec 15 02:15:00 | 22m 00s | When I Grow Up I Want to be | Cute! Also very well presented. I loved the depth of field effects, and the shoes really made it. I would like to see it a little faster on the pacing though. I found myself just waiting for the screen to scroll in a few places. Also creative use of theme. |
| Dec 15 02:23:00 | 8m 00s | Aukan and the Sacred Sprout | Nice graphics and the music was catchy. I wish the enemies had a more clear indication of where their attacks were landing. It made it hard to dodge/counter when you can't see the hits. I made it past full-grown tree stage though! : D |
| Dec 15 02:27:00 | 4m 00s | Backwards and Bonkers! | Great graphics. All it needs is a little sound, and some powerups/downs! :D |
| Dec 15 02:34:00 | 7m 00s | Bridge Balance | Fun builder :] Ridiculous looking bridges xD Kudos on using both themes. Good job! |
| Dec 15 02:42:00 | 8m 00s | Frantic Farming | Great growing simulator! I'd recommend consolidating the controls a little bit. Maybe E is context sensitive and lets you interact, plant or place sprinklers depending on what you're looking at? The game looks and sounds great though. Good job! |
| Dec 15 02:48:00 | 6m 00s | Lumberjack vs. Ancient Druid's Cybertree | I took a selfie while falling over dead and it brought me back to life! Great entry though. Graphics are good, and even stylish, and the sound and music fit perfectly. |
| Dec 15 02:57:00 | 9m 00s | SAAAM | I am really blown away by the quality and depth on display here. Really great job! |
| Dec 15 03:01:00 | 4m 00s | The Super Bros (that are not Brothers!) | Clever. Good concept, charming graphics. Frustrating. Very very frustrating, and a lot of fun! |
| Dec 15 08:43:00 | 5h 42m | Arc | GOOD GRAVY THIS IS HARD. I think my current high score is like 6? I'll be coming back to this again later when I'm more awake/less exhausted. Your presentation is excellent though! Graphics are crisp and smooth, and the music is catchy. Nice one :] |
| Dec 15 09:05:00 | 22m 00s | Giant tree battle | Taking a really simple mechanic like a clicker game and putting it online against other people also clicking just somehow makes the whole thing seem more epic. A very light game, but I had fun with it! Good job. |
| Dec 15 09:11:00 | 6m 00s | Tamagotchi Hell | Everything seemed to work for me. I haven't seen a tamagotchi in years! Great artwork. Great sound. The basket catch minigame could use a bit of speeding up though, I think. |
| Dec 15 22:42:00 | 13h 31m | Bloon | The two button controls worked, but they were pretty slow to respond, which made it hard to control the balloon once it was inflated past a certain point. I liked the music, although it got a little repetitive. Simple game, but fun! |
| Dec 15 22:47:00 | 5m 00s | Knitted Fighter | Very cute graphics and music, but I did encounter the same problems as Headmade. My timer stopped at 1 and I wasn't leaving any thread. |
| Dec 15 22:54:00 | 7m 00s | Rude Bear Recreation | This is a really fun game to play! The theme "growing" has definitely taken on a new meaning here, but it was still fun, and it controlled well! Bravo! |
| Dec 15 23:00:00 | 6m 00s | Crazy Slinky Snake | This game was weird, but really fun. The timer made it more challenging, and therefore more addicting to play. The audio was pretty simple, but it fit nicely. Cool game! |
| Dec 15 23:03:00 | 3m 00s | Sentient Sewage | I like the innovation showed here. I don't think I've ever played as sewer water before, and it was fun to reject those chlorine pellets. Nice game :) |
| Dec 15 23:07:00 | 4m 00s | Between Buttons | Love the music, and the interpretation of theme here was cute, too! This game is a lot of fun! |
| Dec 15 23:11:00 | 4m 00s | Eat & Grow! | This game was really simple, but it was fun! I liked the color palate you used. |
| Dec 15 23:13:00 | 2m 00s | Sweet Tooth Mouse | This game is super cute, so it would have been fun to have a complete game from it. But what you did manage to make was really cute! |
| Dec 15 23:18:00 | 5m 00s | Rodger | This was a fun game! The theme was nicely interpreted and the music was very nice. It would have been nice to have to audio accompaniment to the lasers and jet pack, but overall, this was quite fun. Well done. |
| Dec 15 23:23:00 | 5m 00s | Drunkle | This game was really clever! Love the name, and the audio was very nice. Good interpretation of theme, and it was a really fun game! Controls were good, if a little intentionally confusing :) Nice game! |
| Dec 15 23:31:00 | 8m 00s | Space Eater | Love this game! It's so cute! The music was adorable, and the controls worked very nicely. The only thing I might add is different enemy types for the different levels. The level names seemed like they could have dictated what the enemies could have looked like, such as lollipops and lemon drops. Overall, this game was fun and looked great. Awesome job! |
| Dec 15 23:40:00 | 9m 00s | Spirit Serenade | Good use of theme, and the graphics and music were very nice. Cool game! |
| Dec 15 23:47:00 | 7m 00s | Where Are Meow Friends | Fun game! The way my cat friends stacked up next to me made moving around a bit of a challenge, and it seemed like sometimes, I was being caught by the wolf when he hadn't touched me at all, but the game was cute! And the audio was good, too. |
| Dec 15 23:54:00 | 7m 00s | Hearty's Quest | Really fun game! It's just challenging enough, and the graphics and music are nice! I really enjoyed playing! |
| Dec 16 00:00:00 | 6m 00s | BikeNBlend | It seemed like the controls for the smoothie making portion were really difficult to use. It was cute though, and the music was nice. |
| Dec 16 00:06:00 | 6m 00s | Hanabi | This game confused me somewhat. I wasn't really sure that what I was doing was working, or that it was what I was supposed to be doing at all. I got 900 points, though I'm not entirely sure what I did to earn them. But it was very pretty, and an interesting idea! |
| Dec 16 00:11:00 | 5m 00s | R.I.D.B. (Robotic IceCream Delivery Bot) | I don't think it quite counts as two buttons because movement still uses all four arrow keys, but this was a cute game none the less. I liked the audio! |
| Dec 16 00:19:00 | 8m 00s | Panball | This game was super fun to play. Love the graphics and the audio, and the controls were easy. Theme was well represented in the panda's fatness and the two button control! Nicely done! |
| Dec 16 00:28:00 | 9m 00s | Hedgie The Explorer | This game was really fun, and super cute! Nice music, and the graphics were really good! |
| Dec 16 08:45:00 | 8h 17m | Turbo Tram Drift | Great game! It did make me a little bit dizzy, but that's a risk in every game for people prone to motion sickness. I love the risk/reward system of speeding up, and that's the most stylish method I've ever seen for a tram to put on the brakes. |
| Dec 16 08:50:00 | 5m 00s | Two buttons to save the city ! | Cute graphics, good sound, a little addicting. This was fun! I'm not sure how I feel about the extra numbers in later stages. When I saw the first 2, I thought the system was trying to trick me. Then I felt like that would be a pretty neat idea. |
| Dec 16 08:57:00 | 7m 00s | Flutter | Very impressive. I love a good puzzle platformer, and there was some real head-scratching here. The music was relaxing, and I liked the cat's falling pose. good job! |
| Dec 16 09:03:00 | 6m 00s | Crusader Climber Quest 64 | Best. Voice. Acting. Ever! |
| Dec 16 09:09:00 | 6m 00s | Geometric Battle | I won! Wooo! For what's here, you've done very well. I do think a couple more elements to gameplay would help though. Maybe some different movement patterns for enemies or level hazards or something like that. Your graphics are nice and consistent though. |
| Dec 16 09:17:00 | 8m 00s | Pigeon | Wow, this is a cool idea! Excellent use of theme. I haven't beat it yet, but it feels like I want to keep trying. I couldn't figure out if there was a method to whether the bird goes left or right, but that was the only bit that bothered me. Well done! |
| Dec 16 09:24:00 | 7m 00s | High Noon Swinger | Aiming is really tough! But that definitely creates that feel of "I can do better. One more game" which is great! Your art is good, and the sound effects were fine. Good game. |
| Dec 16 09:36:00 | 12m 00s | FLOW | Headphones definitely help. This was so atmospheric and relaxing after the initial spookiness work off a bit. The web version does seem to be pretty unbearably framey, but I had no troubles with the windows build. It's always good to see a really well done game in GameMaker. Good job! |
| Dec 16 22:59:00 | 13h 23m | Nunsaram | This game was cute, and I liked the sort of horror piano music, though I do wish it were more constant rather than just a few notes here and there. Also, it would have been nice to have some goal other than just getting points for being alive. Maybe eating the kids or whatever as you get bigger would be a better goal than just points for being alive. |
| Dec 16 23:05:00 | 6m 00s | DeepHunt:Procedural gen. survival | This game is strangely addicting and very fun! I love the graphics and the music, and it fits the theme nicely. I can see myself playing this over and over again, trying to win. Awesome game :) |
| Dec 16 23:11:00 | 6m 00s | Wonky Ship | I like the way you used the two button controls here! It made the game a little more challenging because the arrow and the cannon weren't pointing the same direction. I had a fun time playing. The graphics were pretty simple, but well executed, and the controls were smooth. Cool game! |
| Dec 16 23:16:00 | 5m 00s | Awkward Missile Command | This game is appropriately named, for sure. It was so fun, and so awkward using only my two buttons to save the land from a firey bomb death. Love the music, and it fit the theme well. Awesome job. |
| Dec 16 23:20:00 | 4m 00s | Little Flower Big Sky | I like the art style of your game, but it seemed like there might be a few glitches, or I just didn't know I was doing something wrong. My little man kept floating off the flower and then eventually just biting the dust by being flung off...but nothing hit me. It fits the theme, though, and the music is great! |
| Dec 16 23:29:00 | 9m 00s | Sand Storm | This game was really interesting! It was challenging to understand at first, but pretty neat. I like the music! |
| Dec 16 23:35:00 | 6m 00s | Egggs | This is a silly and hilarious game, and I liked it a lot! Not sure how a tree can lay an egg, but it happened. Nice audio and graphics, and overall, it was just fun to play. Well done! |
| Dec 16 23:53:00 | 18m 00s | Harmony Bloom | This game was really neat! I liked the incorporation of the theme, and the game play was smooth and interesting. Nice audio, and I really liked the little lady character and her bird. Very cute. |
| Dec 16 23:58:00 | 5m 00s | Apple Pick | Nice game! I like how it gets harder with time, and adding the little apples with the worm to give us extra droppable apples was great. The graphics were simple, but cute, and I liked the music a lot! Well done! |
| Dec 17 00:05:00 | 7m 00s | Astro Cat Saga | This was a cute game, but the response time on the box rotation as well as the hit boxes on those bombs made it pretty difficult to win. Once you got used to it, it was easier, but the controls could maybe use some work. I did like the graphics, and the audio! It was a fun game to play! |
| Dec 17 00:13:00 | 8m 00s | Barber Chop | This game is so much fun! An awesome idea accompanied by cute graphics, and really great audio and controls. Love it, awesome job! |
| Dec 17 00:20:00 | 7m 00s | Battle For Bedroom | The graphics were quite nice, and I liked the music, too! Wish I had someone to be my player 2, because it seems like a fun game to play with an opponent! |
| Dec 17 00:24:00 | 4m 00s | aSCALErate | This game was really fun! I like the variety of tracks you have, as well as the different power-ups, but I do wish there were some way of telling them apart. It would be fun to play with multiple people, too. Cool game! |
| Dec 17 00:27:00 | 3m 00s | Strong Like Orc | This game was a lot of fun to play! I kept trying again and again to progress more down the line. I liked your audio, and the two button controls worked well! |
| Dec 17 00:32:00 | 5m 00s | Beardgrow | This was a fun game, and slightly harder than I was expecting! I love how his stubble starts growing the more manly items you collect! Really nice game. |
| Dec 17 00:36:00 | 4m 00s | Just Potato | This game was really funny and cute, but it was so hard to land that darn potato on his platform. I loved the weird noise it made when you ate a golden potato, and the graphics were nice and potatoey. |
| Dec 17 00:43:00 | 7m 00s | Sushi Roll | This was a fun game! The audio was fun! |
| Dec 17 01:32:00 | 49m 00s | Bokusu Fightu ! (2 Players) | The game looks good despite having a simple aesthetic. I didn't get the chance to play it with another person, but I fiddled around with the 2 players myself and had a lot of fun even that way. |
| Dec 18 06:27:00 | 28h 55m | Growth Industries | I really enjoyed this. You put together a really solid system of mechanics that makes a fun and challenging experience. The only critiques I have are that I found the music just a touch repetitive, and I had an instance or two of a tile placing when I scrolled the map. I can't consistently reproduce that one though, so I wouldn't count it. Also it seemed like all your sound effects were vocal, and I thought that was a cool touch. |
| Dec 18 06:31:00 | 4m 00s | TreePlanting Simulator | There wasn't really a whole lot here. Would have been nice to see some more to do other than plant one tree and walk around, BUT making a 3d game that looks this good and works this effectively in GameMaker is quite an accomplishment. The music was nice, and there was a good mood to the game. |
| Dec 18 07:30:00 | 59m 00s | Tubutten Beetle | Neat mechanic. I like rain games with a little depth to them like this. your jump is quite satisfying, and I like tapping to speed up. I'd recommend adding a check to make sure that berries you need to pickup don't spawn right on top of spikes. Red berries are hella rad though :] |
| Dec 19 04:38:00 | 21h 08m | Red Concert | This game had some big ups and some small downs. I love the ridiculousness of it all, and the weapon variety and sound effects were great! However, the controls felt a little bit floaty, and the hitboxes were hard to figure out in place. Still though, it was incredibly satisfying beating faces in with a guitar. |
| Dec 20 02:06:00 | 21h 28m | The Artifact | I really love this game as a concept. The control scheme was cool, and the graphical style is really eye-catching. I think the game would benefit most from being longer. You've got the setup for a great adventure and it ends so quickly. Such is Ludum Dare, but I'd love to see this as a full adventure. |
| Dec 20 08:30:00 | 6h 24m | Save the Oak | I like defense games in this style, but I think some more work could have gone into balancing. The game feels a little bit unfairly difficult at times. Maybe some power-ups or a way to help collect seeds. I think something might have been wrong with the shooting sound effect, but everything else seemed like it worked pretty well. Fun once you get the hang of it! |
| Dec 20 09:23:00 | 53m 00s | Litterlings | This was incredibly charming and took me completely by surprise. I wasn't really sure what the draw was at first, and then I accidentally killed my first litterling. NEVER AGAIN! D: Really, this was great and I'd love to see the concept explored further. |
| Dec 22 22:11:00 | 60h 48m | Floppy Joe | This was a pretty fun game! I think a few more obstacles would have been nice, because it was a bit repetitive, but it worked well! I did have to restart it the first time because I fell backwards off of the platform and I just kept falling into the sky, but once I restarted and stayed on the platform, all was well. I really liked the graphics and the music! |
| Dec 22 22:18:00 | 7m 00s | Sushi Pit Cephalopod | This game was really fun, and cute! The controls worked nicely, and it made me really wish I had those joysticks. Cool game! |
| Dec 22 22:29:00 | 11m 00s | Thorn - The Dreamer | I love the music in this game, and the use of theme was good! I do wish the plant would have been a little quicker to respond to the commands it was given for moving in either direction, but it was fun anyway. Nice job :) |
| Dec 23 03:46:00 | 5h 17m | ＵＰＳＱＵＩＤ | Very nice work. I like the minimalist, high-contrast graphical style, and the game is very easy to read in terms of getting the hang of what to do. The only thing I might recommend is maybe some rotation inertia. I think it would help a lot with precision movements to have the rotation speed start slowly and speed up the longer you hold down the button. I found myself running into walls a lot because I overturned slightly when I just needed a tiny little adjustment. |
