| Apr 18 09:07:00 | InShape | Decent game. Higher levels are too fast for my reflexes in medium and hard difficulty. In Hard, at early levels, the hardest part is to get the first shapes done correctly. Maybe it should give the player a couple of seconds to understand the shapes before sending in the first wave. <br/> <br/>Other than that, congratulations on your first attempt in Ludum Dare. You've made a nice game. :) | |
| Apr 18 09:27:00 | 20m 00s | QUADRISIC | Interesting! I followed a plan that focused on getting as much squares on the board as possible, ignoring the placement of my clicks in the process. That didn't work quite so well. I got 316 but the later half of the game was pretty much random after seeing that my plan didn't turn out to be well thought out. :) <br/> <br/>It has a simple but neat twist to puzzle games and it successfully gets the player in the mood. Solid entry! |
| Apr 18 10:02:00 | 35m 00s | Owlman | I've played through 17 levels. It was a solid experience. Both forms have advantages and disadvantages and it was great to discover these. Graphics lack in resolution, but I guess this was intended. <br/> <br/>Anyway, enjoyed the game. Solid entry! |
| Apr 18 10:11:00 | 9m 00s | Plato and the 'Caves | This is a good entry. All three forms have advantages and disadvantages, but I kinda disliked Artemis because of the bad line of sight. Hera is good for getting out of tough positions but you lose a good amount of health in the process. <br/> <br/>Overall, it's a good game. It can be improved by more levels (instead of one) and can benefit from different color palettes for these levels. Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 18 10:43:00 | 32m 00s | Shapeshift Puzzle | Puzzles were quite tough, but it's a good game overall. You get satisfaction out of solving the problem. Good entry. |
| Apr 18 12:02:00 | 1h 19m | Hide and Squeak | Great fun! First time I tried WASD and failed miserably. Score was 7. Second time I switched to the arrow keys and it was much better. I actually killed around 20 of them before I got stuck in one of the passages on the edges of the screen. I exit one of them and then immediately entered back. After that I was not able to return back to the play area. <br/> <br/>This is a really good entry and a huge amount of fun to play. Keep up the good work. |
| Apr 19 13:13:00 | 25h 11m | Shifters | There were lots of red zones and I felt like there wasn't an obvious strategy to clear them in the right order to always have enough money for the next potion. I randomly wandered around clearing red zones as long as my hp and my gold allowed me to do so. <br/> <br/>The game needs a lot more work, but the basic concept is not bad. The player should have some meaningful choices in the fleshed out version if he/she is to have any fun. |
| Apr 19 13:19:00 | 6m 00s | UNDERCOVER | Ok, there was nothing to do, but great effort was spent into graphics and music, so the game gets a lot of points in that area. However, as the whole undercover concept is not really playable in the game, theme sort of falls flat in the game. Decent entry, could've been better. |
| Apr 19 13:37:00 | 18m 00s | Shape Escape | Brilliant game. It was rather short, I could've played along for a couple more levels. It was everything one can hope for in a puzzle platformer about shapeshifting. Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 19 13:52:00 | 15m 00s | Death to Polys | A solid entry for LD. The towers were moving too fast to get any meaningful captures. I was just trying to close off some towers while other towers were emerging in my way of putting down more scaffolds, stripping me off my precious metals in the process. I couldn't play it well, but kudos to everyone who was able to. :) |
| Apr 19 14:55:00 | 1h 03m | Triangle Head's Adventure | This was a cute entry. Drawings and the music sets the mood perfectly and the story was great. :) Good work. |
| Apr 19 15:35:00 | 40m 00s | Zord's Dank Carpet | Nice entry. The hat is a nice touch. I did my best to travel as far as possible but gave up after ten tries or so with my score around twenties. Procedural levels would've increased the lifetime of the game for me. Keep up the good work. |
| Apr 19 15:55:00 | 20m 00s | Swine Fortress: Bacons On Strike! | Controls are very difficult indeed. :) I managed to survive until Wave 3 but with a simpler control scheme I think I'd be able to enjoy it a lot more. The game core itself is pretty fun and the interesting formation of the pigs gives the player enough to think about. Will you drink water with the middle one or rotate towards the enemy to squirt with the ones on the corners? <br/> <br/>Good job, but look into the control model if you want to continue with the idea. :) |
| Apr 19 17:36:00 | 1h 41m | BrainRequired | This was remarkable. I'm stuck on Level 3 and there's almost definitely an easier way than what I'm currently trying to do right now. The game has the highest amount of polish I've seen in this edition of Ludum Dare. It's a brilliant concept. Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 19 18:09:00 | 33m 00s | Danger Dashers | It was OK, I guess. There's not much to talk about, but you can definitely improve this game. |
| Apr 19 18:21:00 | 12m 00s | Widget Workshop | Now this is how you interpret a theme. Great idea. Wonderful execution. Third row is a bit unforgiving, though. Before that you had a loop that you can use to take all the time you wanted. Third row significantly alters the difficulty and I believe without it the "slow-down" option wouldn't be necessary at all. Maybe you can also loop the third row to the beginning first row somehow. <br/> <br/>Otherwise, top notch game. It is obvious that yuo know how to get things done. Good work. |
| Apr 19 18:36:00 | 15m 00s | SHAPE.SHIFT() | Highest score was... 40, maybe? Movement was a little slow to catch up with the shapes on screen. Overall, it's a decent game with a good amount of polish. It has room for improvement. <br/> <br/>By the way, that grid is a little bit distracting & could've been better. |
| Apr 19 18:42:00 | 6m 00s | Color Raid | I think it was not possible to get a score if you die instead of using esc. It's a decent game, can be improved with a good scoring and combo system. Thank you for your entry. |
| Apr 19 18:56:00 | 14m 00s | Tangram Escape | It's an interesting idea, but the implementation has much room to grow. Some of the shapes are almost impossible to come up with without checking the hints. (the key, for example) I hope you keep working on this, it might become something decent. |
| Apr 19 19:19:00 | 23m 00s | HARVESTRON | Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy and entertaining for a while. Move slow, keep an eye on the shapeshifting cooldown, stick around the spawn point, kill bad guys and collect fuel. <br/> <br/>It gets repetitive pretty quick and UI elements on the bottom right can't be seen when there's a wall object under them. <br/> <br/>Other than these issues, it's a good entry. Nice job! |
| Apr 20 12:21:00 | 17h 02m | GattoMagico | This is a good implementation of a decent idea and it was fun to play it. Although it would've been better if I had the option to begin from the same level that I got killed instead of the first one. |
| Apr 20 12:47:00 | 26m 00s | Subverse | Nicely done. I played for 10 minutes and got a score of 12 for three round trips consisting of 2, 4 and 6 ores. <br/> <br/>The shapeshifting guys are super creepy and you panic at the moment you get hit by a stone coming out of nowhere in your line of sight. Tension was high around the rocky areas and I liked that part of the gameplay. <br/> <br/>I believe setting a fixed time frame is not necessary and 20 minutes is a long time for a level. It might be better to divide the game in a few levels and have the player progress by collecting a fixed number of ores. <br/> <br/>Good entry! Keep up the good work. I especially loved the submarine, it was beautiful. |
| Apr 20 13:18:00 | 31m 00s | Pick One | I can't run it, it crashes right after I double click on the .exe file. I'll check the entry page again to see if you release a fix for it. |
| Apr 20 13:26:00 | 8m 00s | anthropomorphic suspect | This hit the right spot as I'm currently reading through a Sherlock Holmes novel. Brilliant idea. Top notch execution. I liked it a lot. Beat it twice on easy and once on hard. |
| Apr 20 13:54:00 | 28m 00s | Reshape | This is a solid entry. The basic premise is a great idea and the theme is there in a simple but efficient mechanic that integrates with the core game flawlessly. Good work. It's a shame there are no sound effects or music. <br/> <br/>Tebrikler. Oyunu çok beğendim. Kendini geliştirmeye devam et, bilgisayar oyunları kariyer yapılabilecek bir alan. |
| Apr 20 14:15:00 | 21m 00s | SUBJECT 26 | This was beautiful. Graphics are made with love and it has a really good story that gets you in the mood pretty quick. Congrats on such a nice game! |
| Apr 20 14:24:00 | 9m 00s | Figure It Out | Beautiful music and such a simple game which is executed nicely. Good job. :) |
| Apr 20 15:00:00 | 36m 00s | Shape Switch | It's a decent puzzle game. I had some problems with the windows size and some parts of the gameplay area were not visible to me, therefore I couldn't progress past Level 4. Anyway, thanks for the entry! |
| Apr 20 15:23:00 | 23m 00s | Egg Clegger | Nice clicker. The shapeshifting was tacked on, but it's ok. :) |
| Apr 20 16:00:00 | 37m 00s | shape_Shifter | A simple concept. It's implemented cleanly. There are many other entries which just tell you the buttons for changing a shape without telling you which button is assigned to which shape. Therefore, the tooltip on the bottom right made things much easier. |
| Apr 20 16:38:00 | 38m 00s | Generations | A unique take on the theme and a nice puzzle platformer. Thanks for your entry! |
| Apr 20 16:54:00 | 16m 00s | Star Shift Journey | A good entry overall. Has some amount of polish and a nice difficulty curve. It's not too hard or too easy, just right. Good work! |
| Apr 20 22:11:00 | 5h 17m | Vikings | I saved my village! Barely. It was just a matter of time as two giants were fast approaching to my wall. <br/> <br/>What I like: <br/>Difficulty curve. It moves up gradually until it hits hard mode on Level 20 or so. <br/>Graphics. The cute style matches well with the game and reminds me of Warcraft a bit. <br/>Music. Sound effects were good but the music is better. It goes well with the forest background, too. <br/>Fun. I had a great time with the game and I'd play it again if a post compo version with more stuff ever gets made. <br/> <br/>What I dislike: <br/>Not much. I haven't played it enough to test if there's imbalance between large and small vikings, but I'll try to go with a "small but plenty" tactic on my next play. Only after that I can judge if the "only one viking to fight with another" can be exploited. <br/> <br/>Overall: This is a solid game. 5 stars imo. And this is not because you reviewed my game with care, this is because Vikings is really a good game. :) |
| Apr 21 20:38:00 | 22h 27m | Chameleon Candidate | Solid entry! Got 109 on my first try. It's really easy to swing the votes in your favor, I guess that's pretty realistic. Top quality work! |
| Apr 21 21:23:00 | 45m 00s | Euclidean Shift | It's a decent idea but the game is a bit tough and it's hard to progress through some of the levels. Anyway, good work! |
| Apr 22 09:32:00 | 12h 09m | Don't Race Me Or My Son Ever Again | Sure, it's not finished, but spending this much effort to rendering is remarkable. Kudos! |
| Apr 22 09:41:00 | 9m 00s | Rebellium | This is a good entry, although the game itself is a bit easy. I finished off the enemy in 13 turns. Theme is not there, but that's not that big of a problem. Good job! |
| Apr 22 09:49:00 | 8m 00s | The Aurora Project | It's ok. A few sound clips would've done a lot for me to feel like I'm in a spaceship. There's not much to do, but I liked just jumping around and shooting a few asteroids for a while. |
| Apr 22 09:56:00 | 7m 00s | Star | Solid entry. I really like games where no explanation is needed at all. You just play it for 5 seconds and you immediately know what you should be doing. Good work! I kinda wanted a scoring system, though. You should add one! |
| Apr 22 10:01:00 | 5m 00s | Space Shift | Decent entry. Powerups are a nice thought that kept me playing on for a while. Maybe, the movement could've been more like twin stick shooters (with a gamepad, ofc). Keep on working on it, you might make it bigger and better. |
| Apr 22 10:43:00 | 42m 00s | The Esoteric Order of Shapeshifters | I loved it! Finished with discovering 18 creatures, 15 of them solved. <br/> <br/>One little nitpick. If I know all the elements of a creature or an abomination when it's attacking, I should be able to destroy it immediately, as it's slowing down the game a little bit to just go through that phase. <br/> <br/>I think this was one of the best games I've played this Ludum Dare. Congrats on such a clean design and enjoyable gameplay. |
| Apr 22 10:48:00 | 5m 00s | The polyman | Decent entry. But the fixed time limit puts too much pressure on the player, imo. |
| Apr 22 12:02:00 | 1h 14m | Geometry Shift | A good entry. I usually kept myself as a certain shape until I was able to spawn a lot of enemies from another one. One shapeshift later, most of the enemies are harmless. Nice use of the mechanic. |
| Apr 22 12:11:00 | 9m 00s | Shape Shifter Match Maker | Got a score of 21. A nice game. Nothing much. Good work, though! |
| Apr 22 19:32:00 | 7h 21m | The Adventures of Blinky, The Square-Shaped Round-Thing | Umm, I really had no idea what to do and how to do it. :/ |
| Apr 22 19:42:00 | 10m 00s | WaLeFi | Cool game. Cute graphics. :) I really liked the attention to detail to make every enemy have some kind of personality. Nice work. |
| Apr 22 19:53:00 | 11m 00s | "Shape" Shifter | Decent attempt. It's pretty easy to exploit the mechanic and just jump continuously to get through the level. Other than that, nice work! |
| Apr 22 20:01:00 | 8m 00s | Ikarauraga | This was quite hard. 45 seconds was my best score. The bullet hell aspect was nicely implemented. It'd be interesting to see procedural waves, but I understand that such a thing is against the nature of bullet hell shooters. |
| Apr 25 08:48:00 | 60h 47m | Operation R.E.P.T.I.L.E. | Good game with an interesting concept. My best was 3 captured, 2 innocent kills and 1 alien kills. Keep up the good work. |
| Apr 25 20:41:00 | 11h 53m | SPELLDOWN! | Nice graphics, gameplay is shallow but the game is nice for what it is. :) It can be improved and extended with many other ideas. |
| Apr 28 10:02:00 | 61h 21m | Befitting Perpetual Owl | Decent idea, but the execution could've been better. There's room to improve here, you should work on it. |
| May 4 22:13:00 | 156h 11m | Home Sweet Home | Pretty decent idea and nice execution. A bit hard but I enjoyed it! |
| May 4 22:17:00 | 4m 00s | Hit the shapes | It was a really fun experience! I enjoyed the game and the drinking game tips are a nice little bonus thought. :) |
| May 7 08:47:00 | 58h 30m | Silver Bullet | I got it right on the first try, but I can't say I wasn't a bit lucky. Nice entry! |
| May 7 10:25:00 | 1h 38m | Sharpshifter | It's a good entry. My high score is 72k and I died on Wave 24. Moving is not very beneficial, as standing still gives you a better aim at the enemies. The game was pretty easy and got repetitive over time but the base structure is solid and the game can be improved. <br/> <br/>Adding moving, big, slow platforms to force player ship to change its position would solve the problem of being stationary. This would also make the game harder. |
| May 7 18:07:00 | 7h 42m | Wallshift | Ok, at first I was thinking like "Oh, this is easy, heh...". Twenty seconds later I was cursing at the screen. Lasted 76 seconds. Nice job for such a limited amount of time. <br/> <br/>Small bug report: Objects go through your walls if your game window is not in focus. (i.e. you're on another tab) |
| May 7 18:30:00 | 23m 00s | Maigune | A solid entry. Different characters have a lot of distinct properties and from time to time I had trouble solving some of the problems that I've encountered. Nevertheless, this is quite a successful game for 48 hours. Well done. |
