| Dec 15 12:35:00 | Snowblind | Nice little game, sadly it's a bit boring. | |
| Dec 15 12:48:00 | 13m 00s | Red or Blue | It's a nice little game, but there is no point, no objective, no tutorial and no reason for me to slaughter some cubes. There needs to be a little more context and little more answering questions like why? <br/>Sure the gameplay is engaging, but two very small levels is too short to fully use game mechanics like scope for example. |
| Dec 15 12:56:00 | 8m 00s | Dark Fill-Ings | Okay, it's fine in the story and looks department, I guess. Gameplay is a bit flawed, even though the music is nice and chilling. It's just a bit too slow, nightmares are not like this. |
| Dec 15 13:14:00 | 18m 00s | Depression | Nice, the optimization is quite bad, but it was an enjoyable little game. The thing with metaphors is, that if you have to explain them, they are no longer good. Either way, most of it was fairly clear, I wouldn't consider them metaphors, more like visual representations of simple feelings. Most games have these, even without knowing that they do. Also, a metaphor needs context and they tend to be a bit bigger than just color changes. <br/>The levels are clean interesting and cool and easy to understand too, there were a lot of them, so it was nice to have a game that lasts longer than a minute (for a three day game jam). Also explaining the controls would have been nice, considering this has little to do with growing, I thought this had two button controls... <br/>Worthy of a playthrough! |
| Dec 15 13:18:00 | 4m 00s | Circle Runner | A bit too difficult, but nice! |
| Dec 15 13:18:00 | 0s | Bug Plus Plus | HTML link is broken. |
| Dec 15 13:25:00 | 7m 00s | Forest growth | Fun and incredibly short game. Kind of like a very early stage of an idle game. |
| Dec 15 13:56:00 | 31m 00s | I can. | This is one of the best experiences I've had in this Ludum so far, it's not a game, not even an interactive story, it's basically a short film with a constant play button, that makes you sad, if you press it. <br/>Storywise it's very well done, and the metaphor is fairly clear as well. The tone it sets is excellent. I little more gameplay wouldn't hurt it though...and while the visuals are great, there could've been more things to look at, because the text is really slow. |
| Dec 15 14:01:00 | 5m 00s | Repair Runner | Neat little game with simple gameplay. |
| Dec 15 16:12:00 | 2h 11m | The other side of the portal | Okay, the idea wasn't that bad, I mean we have seen it before many times, but it's still okay, but the execution...well...not interesting ... |
| Dec 15 16:22:00 | 10m 00s | 1minuteBaby | Really simple, really nice! |
| Dec 15 16:27:00 | 5m 00s | Hyper Turbo Midnight Underground Racing 2000 | You see this was not even funny, it's actually sad, that people find this humorous. For others, this is a scam, it's basically a rick roll...don't bother. |
| Dec 15 17:22:00 | 55m 00s | Plank | There is not much room for expansion here. Okay for a two day jam, I guess. Music would've been nice, a cleaner design, with shadows, would have been better as well as visually better instructions... |
| Dec 15 17:29:00 | 7m 00s | Rainer | Nice music and simple two-button gameplay... Not much else to see here. |
| Dec 15 19:35:00 | 2h 06m | Nodes | I wouldn't call this a game. You just press W and the game plays itself. It appears to be an idle game but lacks any motivation or gameplay. |
| Dec 15 19:41:00 | 6m 00s | Shemeowbi | The graphics are not that great, and this isn't a game either, you just continue to press the attack button forever and the game plays itself. There is no need for strategy or thinking or even the blocking button, because you never ever have to use it. <br/>There is no story either. |
| Dec 15 20:35:00 | 54m 00s | To the Tree! | The controls are terrible, and therefore the entire gameplay is flawed. Because of the two button design the game is unenjoyable. The visuals aren't interesting either. |
| Dec 15 20:57:00 | 22m 00s | Riders On The Steppes | It was fun and nice and simple, the only thing missing was more enemies and bigger battles! |
| Dec 16 01:00:00 | 4h 03m | Z4KM4STER - Zookeeper DJ | It nice to listen to, and easy gameplay wise. |
| Dec 16 01:09:00 | 9m 00s | The Eastern Growth | I got bored by it, due to lack of context and lack of tutorials or what to do. ..and the setting was...well... I mean a princess and a warrior and a druid...It just felt generic. |
| Dec 16 01:17:00 | 8m 00s | Star Something | This was more like tests for a game than a game, I am now reading instructions in the comment section, but you should've explained this during the game or before it. |
| Dec 16 01:20:00 | 3m 00s | Decider in Chief | It could've been slightly better or more engaging, but I guess this is everything a text based game can do. |
| Dec 16 01:29:00 | 9m 00s | Level Grow Op | Very simple... |
| Dec 16 01:44:00 | 15m 00s | The Thingening | I can say from experience, that indie multiplayer games are not a good idea. Simply because too few people play them/try them. <br/>Your game looks nice and it has some sort of atmosphere, although the helicopter at the end is entirely out of place and feels goofy. <br/>I am sorry, that I couldn't try the game the way you imagined it. |
| Dec 16 01:51:00 | 7m 00s | Seeds | So, the music was and the graphics seemed okay, the plant dynamics were also good. It just didn't work very well. |
| Dec 16 09:43:00 | 7h 52m | Let it Grow | This needs a lot of work and polish... |
| Dec 16 09:48:00 | 5m 00s | This Little Piggy | It is cute and it is simple, not much else. |
| Dec 16 09:54:00 | 6m 00s | The Snowball effect | This suffers from the same problem as so many other titles here. It's not a game, player involvement is unnecessary. It's not even that funny...It could've been a nice idea for a game though, it's sad that it ended up as a simple gimmick. |
| Dec 16 21:52:00 | 11h 58m | Bridge Balance | It had its moments, but more polish is needed. |
| Dec 18 13:45:00 | 39h 53m | Revolver | Interesting, nice little game, I am impressed! |
| Dec 18 13:49:00 | 4m 00s | Kitty Glacier Surfing | Reminds me of old Nokia games. Nice, i guess. |
| Dec 22 08:35:00 | 90h 46m | Lance-A-Ton | Interesting idea! It's nice for a three day game jam. With updated graphics and a bigger map, this could've been even better. |
| Dec 23 16:02:00 | 31h 27m | The Melody of The Soul | The collisions are bad, the jumping is bad, the tutorial makes no sense, following the ghost wasn't a good game design choice. The level design doesn't seem to make sense either. The animation looks nice, but the gameplay is just not optimized. This needs a lot of polish and playtesting. |
| Dec 23 16:08:00 | 6m 00s | Santa Inc. | The graphics are adequate, but it feels kinda empty without the sound effects. A nice little in-game tutorial would have been nice too... I would love to see a much bigger factory in motion. |
| Dec 23 16:18:00 | 10m 00s | Are you grown? | It was original, that's for sure. With slightly more work this could be very good. The questions need to be updated or clarified (and new should be added) and the visuals and the sound could've been enhanced. Otherwise, nice work! |
| Dec 23 16:24:00 | 6m 00s | SILooET | The music is really great and matching, sadly every level is too short and is nothing more than a trail and error challenge. I guess this is due to the two button limitation. Otherwise nice job, it's good to have this many levels in a ludum game! |
| Dec 25 03:30:00 | 35h 06m | Xtreme Crop Duster Simulator '82 | It's retro, that's for sure. ..but nostalgia alone is not enough to satisfy... The game is very basic, and the two things that stand out are the bent screen look and the music. <br/>It's fine for a three day game jam. |
| Dec 25 04:05:00 | 35m 00s | Escape | It is very frustrating, that the game doesn't have any checkpoints. <br/>The graphics are very-very simple and cool. The theme is a bit overused nowadays and this wasn't exactly a unique take on it. The writing was good, even with the occasional grammar mistakes. On the other hand, the lack of sound or music was not that good. Also, adding a timer is the most annoying game mechanic in existence. If that is substituted, this could be a fun game. |
| Dec 25 04:12:00 | 7m 00s | Run & Gun | Graphics are not that great, but at least there is a seemingly infinite amount of gameplay. ...and it seems to be a bit too hard, as well... |
| Dec 28 18:40:00 | 86h 28m | Shape Caster | Okay, well the theme is present in this, but everything else is not that good. The two buttons are two far away, and basically pressing the fire button forever wins the game, the jump button is useless. If the gameplay is not engaging at least you should have added some story or context. This is just too random to be fun.... |
| Dec 28 18:42:00 | 2m 00s | Cutesadoopsi | A bit too slow, even though the concept was interesting. |
| Dec 28 18:50:00 | 8m 00s | The Tower | This game defeats the purpose of Twine games. Twine games are about choice, there were basically three slides in this with some choices, that barely influenced anything. The rest is just unfunny randomness with a big "continue reading a story" button at the bottom. The idea is interesting, but the execution is not, it really feels like this was a two hour job... |
| Dec 28 18:51:00 | 1m 00s | Four Stars Lost in the Desert | no windows version? |
| Dec 28 18:52:00 | 1m 00s | 2 buttons, thats all | No.... |
| Dec 28 18:55:00 | 3m 00s | Growing (a Lump) | Great creepypastas. A slightly longer story with more choices would have been better, but this was nice either way. |
| Dec 28 18:59:00 | 4m 00s | Comfort Owl | I was waiting for something strange or unlikely to happen. ..or something that tells that the owl was only a clever metaphor for something....next time, maybe. |
| Dec 28 19:01:00 | 2m 00s | My Space Empire and Me | A tad to short, but at least it was funny. |
| Dec 28 20:56:00 | 1h 55m | Dungeon Wheel | Graphics are nice, and the gameplay is very simple, but solid. It's good! |
| Dec 28 20:59:00 | 3m 00s | BonsHi | Nice music. The simplistic design could've been slightly better, but overall, this was nice and it had a mood. |
| Dec 28 21:07:00 | 8m 00s | Deceit | Music and SFX are great, but it's way too difficult! |
| Dec 28 21:10:00 | 3m 00s | Trace Race | Cool! Just cool! |
| Dec 29 13:06:00 | 15h 56m | life | Yeah, this idea was already done a couple of years ago by multiple mobile devs. This is a bit too random. |
| Dec 29 13:10:00 | 4m 00s | Beep Beep | The graphics are not that good, I couldn't even make out what was what. The difficulty curve is alright and the gameplay is ok. |
| Jan 3 10:07:00 | 116h 57m | Turnipocalypse | well...this needs some polish... |
| Jan 4 01:59:00 | 15h 52m | Grone | Yeah, this is having the Everybody is going to Rapture problem. It's a walking simulator, not a game. |
| Jan 4 02:01:00 | 2m 00s | Oh Man | Yeah...no... |
| Jan 4 02:06:00 | 5m 00s | Yes or No? | Yes or No? <br/> <br/>No... |
| Jan 4 15:07:00 | 13h 01m | The King is Dead | This is a bit too complex for one short playthrough. A more imaginative tutorial and maybe some test plays would have been nice, because it really gets confusing here and there. The idea is nice. |
| Jan 4 20:15:00 | 5h 08m | Brobots | The graphics are below average and even with an okay gameplay that comic sans font really makes this quite bad... <br/>As someone said before, this might work better as a mobile game. |
| Jan 4 20:22:00 | 7m 00s | Grow in the Hole! | Nice! Simple. |
| Jan 6 13:31:00 | 41h 09m | Let's Play Simulator 2016 | Nice, idea, but it was a bit too static and unlogical...It got kind of boring very quickly, simple because this was a text based game, but appeared to have a visual style that didn't go anywhere. |
