|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 20 22:44:00 | Shifty's Shape Escape | Good game. Too bad we had to play it on easy mode, because I could easily see it being quite the challenge. The graphics were pretty cool and the mood fit thanks to the menacing whoosh sound effects. | |
| Apr 20 22:55:00 | 11m 00s | Turbo Transform | Pretty cool game that ran pretty smoothly. Kinda reminded me of the Mario Kart level where you drive on the pipe, but maybe not. Coolio game overall! Great graphics! Awesome skill! |
| Apr 20 23:15:00 | 20m 00s | Project G.R.I.L.L. | We unfortunately could not get very far but it looked very cool graphicswise and the audio was also very nice. |
| Apr 20 23:39:00 | 24m 00s | Mirror's Polygon | Surprisingly cool game that has gameplay mechanics that work together in surprisingly neat ways- I always enjoy games that put stuff together that seem nonsensical but end up being a chesslike emergent type of game. Cool stuff. |
| Apr 20 23:50:00 | 11m 00s | Greedy Miners | The graphics really played into the mood and theme of the game, the angry little pikmin pivot guys made the game. Is it really possible to play beyond a couple minutes?? Very hard, very cool. |
| Apr 21 00:02:00 | 12m 00s | Shape Shift | In interesting take on the runner genre in which physics itself bows down to your C++ hardcore programming hax0rz. Good stuff bro! |
| Apr 21 00:13:00 | 11m 00s | Photagogue | This is a really hard game, but the graphics, controls, and mood are very good. I'm sure there's something involving shapeshifting in there but unfortunately we are on a time crunch. Rock on. |
| Apr 21 00:35:00 | 22m 00s | Klurby | Took me a while to realize that it's a Kirby parody, but it's a really cool game. Too bad we were right at the end when my jump man failed to jump for me and we rage quit. Good stuff nonetheless! |
| Apr 21 00:45:00 | 10m 00s | DungeonShift | Sweet game, especially for your first Ludum. Reminds me of the Binding of Isaac. With a little more work you could probably make a full blown game out of this. |
| Apr 21 01:00:00 | 15m 00s | Paranormal Investigator | This one is pretty sweet, the mood felt perfect with the investigator's little "backstory" and the creepy music. If you ever make a sequel you could make it more horror-y as the levels progress. Cool job! |
| Apr 22 00:53:00 | 23h 53m | Malformed | Pretty cool, I recognize the cool work that went behind making an engine. I too have been there! <br/> <br/>Screen's a little jerky, but that might just be my cruddy graphics card. |
| Apr 22 01:11:00 | 18m 00s | Cavern of Flight | Awesome atmosphere, reminds me quite a bit of one of those Nifflas games or your game Where They Once Were. <br/> <br/>BTW, I tried checking out the source to see how your lighting was done but unfortunately the link is dead. |
| Apr 22 01:23:00 | 12m 00s | Shape Shuffle | Hey, I beat it. Cool. I actually had luck just sprinting through the (actually very large!) map and ignoring the enemies since they couldn't really hurt me that much as I light-sped through. Cool game, but it did chew high amounts of CPU as I played- Probably a very tight while loop which would account for the incredible speed at which I ran as well. |
| Apr 22 01:29:00 | 6m 00s | Shape | Wow, this is a great idea. Reminds me of those classic ZX Spectrum games or whatever with the little title at the bottom, like Jet Set Willy or VVVVVV. "Enjoy the ride" was obnoxious but I figured out the rest pretty quick. <br/> <br/>You should turn this into a Flash game or something and add some more levels, it's definitely there in terms of concept! |
| Apr 22 01:57:00 | 28m 00s | Shape Escape | I got 138! Pretty cool game but there's definitely a limit, you can't play forever. I could see this being an arcadey webgame with some music and enemies, maybe a couple more forms to shapehshift into. Cool game. |
| Apr 22 02:24:00 | 27m 00s | Shifting Sands | Well, your updated link is just a folder with no way to download it- I added it to my Drive, zipped it up, and downloaded and it and it worked, so you might want to try sharing a zipped version. <br/> <br/>Cool game, I really enjoyed the twist of being able to shoot your enemy's bullets and watching them spiral around with physics. Unfortunately when he transformed into the sand fly the game just hung with no way to progress. Clicking didn't do anything, but maybe that's just where you ran out of time. |
| Apr 22 02:51:00 | 27m 00s | Secret Admirers of the Forest | A neat idea but a bit hard to figure out- such is the nature of LD games! I found the (debug?) feature of clicking to spawn enemies, so each turn I would just relocate all the enemies to a corner and (try to) waltz right for the exit. Unfortunately I kept getting stuck behind invisible walls. <br/> <br/>Nice work for making a roguelike. |
| Apr 22 21:20:00 | 18h 29m | Chameleon Candidate | Actually really witty. Definitely a cool game. I ended up tricking them all, haha. <br/> <br/>I found that a good strategy is to work up a lukewarm appreciation among all districts, then just start focusing 100$ rallies on each one that didn't benefit from the television appearance. |
| Apr 22 21:30:00 | 10m 00s | Shape Runners | Pretty cool game, not sure what the triangle did but the switch between moving red and bouncing blue is a cool one. Would have been pretty neat with some varied up terrain, because you can mostly just go with red until your inevitable doom at the hands of the insanely fast wall. |
| Apr 22 21:35:00 | 5m 00s | The Protean Organism | Neat little puzzle game, but dang starting back at the beginning every time, especially when it's just dodgy collision detection that kills you is annoying. |
| Apr 22 21:39:00 | 4m 00s | Dont get mashed | Took me a while to realize that the noise was the blocks breaking, as it was rhythmic at first, and when it started speeding up and going nuts I got freaked out. <br/> <br/>Cool game, what's with the bird aesthetic? |
| Apr 22 21:44:00 | 5m 00s | DASH | Neat game, unfortunately I can't see my score or the spectrum analyzer on windows so it plays more like a trippy interactive music video. Grats for coding it all in C. |
| Apr 22 21:51:00 | 7m 00s | By The Light Of The Spire | Charming game! Unfortunately dodgy collision and controls made it a little weaker but the neat music and generation aspects make up for it. |
| Apr 22 21:54:00 | 3m 00s | daoud_c | Pretty weird, the lack of description, nonexistent user profile, odd music and blurry ripped visuals makes it feel like you're playing a creepypasta. |
| Apr 22 22:25:00 | 31m 00s | War Never Changes | It's a pretty weird game, but hey good job for finishing on time. It took a bit before I recognized the idea, flashing through warzones shooting the same way no matter whether it's past or future. I enjoy that "sigh" hit sound. |
| Apr 23 01:29:00 | 3h 04m | Prince Charmless | I remember seeing some of your earlier entries do really well and wonder "how is this guy so good?" <br/> <br/>Really cool game. The mario sound effects are great. |
| May 2 22:45:00 | 237h 16m | Wizard Fight | This game would have benefited a lot from sound. Reminds me of megaman/rock paper scissors or something. Cool game, I played it with my friend. |
| May 2 22:50:00 | 5m 00s | SHEEPSHIFT | It's a weird game with weird music. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The controls could be tuned up but hey, it's the Ludum. |
| May 2 23:12:00 | 22m 00s | Shifters | Cool story game with a surprising amount of variations. It was a bit anticlimactic in some of the endings but oh well. Otherwise solid. |
| May 2 23:23:00 | 11m 00s | AmeriMorph | Pretty fun game. We somehow got the rabbit to fly indefinitely but the glitch resolved itself and we couldn't seem to reactivate it. The Eagle didn't really seem to have a use. Also you can climb walls at hyper speed. Bugs aside, it's a neat little game with nice graphics. |
| May 2 23:30:00 | 7m 00s | BoxShiftMetroidVania | We "beat" the game by killing all the enemies. The floating hearts were terrifying once they showed up. |
| May 3 00:12:00 | 42m 00s | SHAPE.SHIFT | Wow, very neat and beat-centric game. That boss is incredibly difficult- we tried for a good 25 minutes and although we memorized the attack patterns up until the double-layered shot of grey with one red, we just couldn't BEAT it. We really enjoyed the "shooting on beat" mechanic. Well done. |
| May 3 00:45:00 | 33m 00s | De Skogen | We walked all around de skogen and found all the swirly stones. Then we walked in the portal- the ending is a little anticlimactic but the mood is good. Half expected slenderman to show up at a couple points. <br/> <br/>I must say that the "jazz walk" cycle sort of throws off the mood, however hilarious it is. |
| May 3 00:52:00 | 7m 00s | Give me Six | Really creative game. Reminds me of reversi/connect 4. |
| May 3 01:15:00 | 23m 00s | Social Engineering - Level: Shapeshift | Wow, unexpectedly extensive game that betrays its (sorry) rather dopey looking graphics at first glance. <br/> <br/>Those goofy triangles do grow on you though. <br/> <br/>We stole ~75000 worth of goods. I've got to say it again, really complex and nice work for making it in the time limit of the Ludum. |
| May 3 01:32:00 | 17m 00s | Transmorgification Situation | The running instructions are downright bizarre- you might want to create different downloads for each platform. <br/> <br/>A cute little point and click albeit without much depth. Appreciated the homesuck reference. |
| May 3 01:39:00 | 7m 00s | Sheep Shift | Really charming little game. Conceptually really simple but the sucking sounds, graphics, and general idea was all very funny and nice. |
| May 3 01:48:00 | 9m 00s | RobotJet | GOOD! |
| May 3 02:02:00 | 14m 00s | Sheep Shift | This game was really nice; It'd be nicer if there was a way to defeat the wolves. As it is now they just spaz out once they get near one. <br/> <br/>On a side note, the game pairs incredibly nicely with Weird Al's polka medleys. |
| May 5 23:32:00 | 69h 30m | Lumiania | Solid little platformer that has great graphics. I immediately got a Cave story vibe from the soap bar character, to the scrolling clouds, to the triangle powerups. <br/> <br/>My only complaint is the music. |
| May 5 23:49:00 | 17m 00s | Faceshifters Vs Tumy | So I read through the comments and nobody seems to be mentioning the ultra-creepy air this game has- all the blocks seem to want to avoid you, with their dejected faces and mucus encrusted eyes, and cry/squeal when you do touch them (and make them wilt). <br/> <br/>Is there something deeper to this? Apparently you're a tumor so I guess you're giving the blocks cancer? Combined with the evening backdrop and cheery music, it's pretty unsettling. <br/> <br/>Otherwise a neat little platformer, if very hard. Good job on the music, bad job on engine choice- the levels take like a solid 3 seconds to restart which is bad when they're this hard. |
| May 5 23:54:00 | 5m 00s | OneHourShaper | I mean, it is a game. Grats for making it in 1.5 hours. The random part late in the game where you have a 50% chance of simply restarting was a bit frustrating. |
| May 6 00:04:00 | 10m 00s | Shape Through | Fun game, it's defini5t3ellyas a asdupewqar hos HEXOIGON |
| May 6 00:32:00 | 28m 00s | Max Wheigt: A really heavy story | The graphics were pretty good. Excellent animation The music got kinda repetitive though. I liked the concept. Good job. |
| May 6 00:58:00 | 26m 00s | Town | Really took a dark turn towards the end. I predicted it once Joey started talking about shapeshifters. <br/> <br/>The undertale music was really grating until we put on some polka, which we had to turn off once we started going around and mauling the townspeople to the merry tunes of Weird Al. <br/> <br/>Cool game. |
| May 6 01:07:00 | 9m 00s | Cow Duck Fever | Good game. The graphics worked, but your speed should ramp up as you progress, often we found ourselves jumping too early or too late, there's definitely a sweet spot between falling like a rock onto the poles and jumping into them too late. <br/> <br/>About as hard as Flappy Bird. Still a well built game. |
| May 6 01:49:00 | 42m 00s | You've got balls | Seriously one of the best entries so far. The C64 atmosphere, the minimalist art, and the acrobatic but not unwieldy jumping/ball mechanic make this game really polished feeling. <br/> <br/>As a side note, the main bathroom-sign looking character reminds me of another game from a past ludum... http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2/233892/2396-shot1.png |
