| Apr 20 20:02:00 | System Shift | And the first game I get to rate is a Linux-native game running in a terminal... This is so awesome! <br/> <br/>The graphics are NetHack-like, lovely. (I actually gave 5 stars for graphics.) The only problem with this game is that I think it needs some fine-tuning: you die too quickly, it would nice to have more health to begin with. Also, it is hard to play on a laptop, where you don't have a numpad (yeah, I have a Num Lock which makes some of the letters to function as numbers, but still hard to sense the directions). Finally, I think it does not stick to the theme very much. Yeah, it's open to interpretation... shapes... shifting... still, by my standard, moving shapes are not enough for "shapeshifting". <br/> <br/>But once again, I'd like to emphasize that I found this game lovely, and having a custom text-based game engine is a cool thing, and maybe I will build a more-health version of it for myself – since it's open source, I could do that. ;) | |
| Apr 20 20:30:00 | 28m 00s | ShapeGrid | I never had a smartphone until recently, but the point is that now I have one – and believe it or not, this is the VERY FIRST game I EVER installed on it. :D <br/> <br/>Nice to see an Android game, though I still miss a Linux port (yeah, Android is Linux too, but I meant Linux for desktop PC, like Ubuntu). <br/> <br/>It nicely fits the theme, and I like the gameplay idea. Thanks for giving me a game that I can play on trains! ;) |
| Apr 23 09:59:00 | 61h 29m | The Killer's Apprentice | Nice atmosphere, nice background music, great graphics. <br/> <br/>Would be nice to have some hints on the controls. At first I thought it's a mouse-only game, and it took some time to figure out that I can move with arrows. <br/> <br/>How do you render the title screen? I couldn't read from the source. At first I thought it's real 3D animation with WebGL, but it's more likely that it's an animated GIF. With what application you made it? <br/> <br/>Thanks for making me a killer, haha! :) |
| Apr 23 10:35:00 | 36m 00s | ShapeShifter | Your game crashes with no apparent error message (Ubuntu 15.10). |
| Apr 23 10:48:00 | 13m 00s | Dr. Phase | Great game, good idea, I pretty much upvoted it. ;) <br/>As for now it is very short. Looking forward a post-compo sequel. Please somehow notify me if you ever make one. :) |
| Apr 23 16:11:00 | 5h 23m | faces | At first I didn't know how to play, but now the universe is mine. :) Thanks! <br/> <br/>By the way, X and Z are not next to each other on Hungarian keyboards, so it gets some difficulty in the controls. |
| Apr 23 17:00:00 | 49m 00s | A82-Recon 3038 | I couldn't figure out how to identify the shapeshifter(s). <br/> <br/>Impressive that you made such a great game within 72 hours on a restrictive platform. I didn't know about PICO-8, but now I've seen more LD35 games made with it, so I will check it out. <br/> <br/>Thanks for having C and V as an alternative to Z and X, as Z and X are not next to each other on Hungarian keyboards. <br/> <br/>Nice pixel art, catches the theme, thanks for letting us play it! :) <br/> <br/>Am I supposed to hear audio? I don't hear any sound, but I didn't hear sound for other PICO-8 games either. I don't know what might be the problem, I'm on Ubuntu 15.10 and Mozilla Firefox. |
| Apr 23 18:12:00 | 1h 12m | Miss Turner's Magical Pet Swap Shop | Pretty amazing, fun game! :) Actually, I almost rated it all-5. The only 4 I gave is for innovation, because I hold 5 for really surprising games. <br/> <br/>Sometimes it's hard to get the right shape – e.g. I gave up on weasel. Good for learning English words: as a non-English-native, I am not good at naming animal parts, but this game surely helps to improve it. Especially great game for young children. <br/> <br/>Bonus points for your love of animals – I hope that includes goats and cats too. ;) (Btw, can you transform an animal to a goat in this game?) <br/> <br/>Glad to see a female programmer – although the female-to-male ratio is getting better and I see many girls in video game development, they seem to be still scarce in programming. |
| Apr 23 18:15:00 | 3m 00s | Connected-Souls | Could you please export a Linux build? |
| May 1 16:15:00 | 190h 00m | Pasowix's Magical Shapeshifting Workshop | This looks interesting, but I can't play it. :( <br/>Could you export a Linux64 build from Unity? |
| May 1 23:08:00 | 6h 53m | The Furniture is Alive | Very great, scary game. I hope I won't have nightmares of furnitures. :D Is it possible to survive the last level, where the blackboard tells me to „GIVE UP!”? Because I always died on that level. I wonder if there is an ending beyond that. |
| May 2 20:32:00 | 21h 24m | Mr. Purrgalar | Excellent game, liked the concept! :) <br/> <br/>Sometimes I get stuck on the white squares, so I can't go in the direction where I am supposed to go. <br/> <br/>I didn't head any sound and the „Cat Videos” button doesn't work. |
| May 3 21:28:00 | 24h 56m | Pretend | First of all: PLEASE EXPORT A LINUX BUILD. The WebGL version works, but lags. <br/> <br/>Excellent game! It is very hard – if you heard me playing it, I bet you could have learned some really sophisticated Hungarian cursing. I think the hardness could be mitigated with more often checkpoints. The game should also use some easier tutorial phase which would allow me to accommodate to the controls before the tougher stuff happen, but it's understandable that you didn't have time to implement this. The game's crazy-hardness reminded me of VVVVVV and Super Meat Boy. <br/> <br/>I'd also like to explore this „who's the real you?” theme (beyond my actual entry – I know you played it), and I actually have more unimplemented concepts for it. Huge respect for your implementation! <br/> <br/>Graphics are sweet, animations are smooth. Could use some goats. Thanks for this game! <br/> <br/>@plko: Your comment reminds me that aspies (people with Asperger's Syndrome) need to wear a mask for the outside world, that they may only put down when they are at home (or alone). In a more equal society, it wouldn't be necessary. |
| May 8 19:04:00 | 117h 36m | ShapeShifter | Excellent game! I always love some gravity shifting. :) <br/>At first I thought the timer made it too hard, but then I beat the challenge. Maybe you could make an easy mode (without timer) and a hard mode (with timer). |
| May 9 17:33:00 | 22h 29m | Perfect Form | This game has freezed my browser (Firefox) at least 3 times (yet I gave it multiple chances). Sometimes one click causes the entire browser to grey out, and then it starts to eat memory in a rapid fashion, spilling over to swap, and would probably summon oom_kill if I hadn't killed it before that may happen. Some serious memory-management issues there. <br/> <br/>I didn't fully get the logic of the game. I couldn't figure out what I'm supposed to do in Arcade mode. The Adventure mode just started to get likable, and I was kind of getting to grasp the logic, and I would have liked to continue it and play it further, but the browser always freezed before I could get far enough. <br/> <br/>Strongest qualities in Theme (4) and Graphics (4). |
| May 9 18:00:00 | 27m 00s | Escaping Darkness | This is a Unity game, you could have exported a Linux version easily (especially if you're a geeky penguin ;)). I still tested the game with Wine. I don't do it often, most of the times I just abandon Windows-only games, but this game made me curious enough to worth the inconvenience. <br/> <br/>The correct spelling is „Ludum Dare”, not „Ludem Dare”. <br/> <br/>I REALLY liked the premise, however the game is clearly incomplete. I didn't really understand why I was getting teleported to random places, and then with the dog, once I was teleported to darkness where I couldn't progress. With the mouse, I guess I should have jump over the poison(?), but never managed to do that. <br/> <br/>HUGE 5 for Graphics! <br/> <br/>I wish you to keep developing the game post-compo, because I'd like to emphasize that I really liked the premise and I think you could have made an awesome game out of it if you had more time. I encourage you to get into game development, make more games, and participate in future game jams. :) <br/> <br/>Thanks for sharing your game! |
| May 9 21:32:00 | 3h 32m | Platformery | Nice game, and thanks for the Linux port! :) <br/> <br/>To be honest, it doesn't utilize the theme to its full potential. The triangle jumps higher and maybe faster, but I don't see why a triangle has this distinctive quality. Since the qualities are not logically connected to the shapes, the shapes are mere indicators of game states. This way, the shape change doesn't even matter – you could use a variety of other indicators for differentiating between different game states, e.g. changing color, size, or even just putting a text on the screen. <br/> <br/>Moreover, it's almost always one shape is the solution, so you just have to pick the right one at the beginning of the level, and you don't have to change it while you're in the middle of it (except for the last level which indeed require shape changing within level – I couldn't finish that level though). <br/> <br/>Anyway, congratulations for your first completed game – you reached a milestone, now you can make (and finish) more games. :) |
| May 9 23:00:00 | 1h 28m | A Story of Hatred | I just can't describe what I played now... :D Man, this is a masterpiece! 5 for overall, fun, graphics, audio, humor, and mood. 4 for innovation and 3 for theme. <br/> <br/>You really subverted the player's expectation to see a philosophical/psychological game... well, maybe it's still philosophical/psychological... in a way... :D I thought it will be about bullying or something, and then... surprise! <br/> <br/>I couldn't help to notice that the boy's hat has Romanian national colors – is this intended or coincidence? |
| May 10 00:04:00 | 1h 04m | Formation Charge! | Really nice graphics! The game presents no challenge in its current state. I'm not sure where you're going with the concept and how are you going to introduce some challenge, but I'm curious. Thanks for the game! |
| May 10 00:11:00 | 7m 00s | Fuck you it's the same thing as last year | I'm not sure if it's legit to repost last year's LD entry... |
| May 10 00:22:00 | 11m 00s | Worm shifter | Challenging game, thanks for sharing! :) |
| May 10 00:38:00 | 16m 00s | Shift! | Are the levels procedurally generated? <br/>Great game, excellent sound and graphics. <br/>I didn't play it to the end, because then I wouldn't have time to submit my rating. :P I hope you'll get the required number of ratings. |
| May 10 00:48:00 | 10m 00s | Cheese Factory Simulator | I don't really get the mechanics... do I actually fail when I manage to make delicious blue cheese? |
| May 10 00:54:00 | 6m 00s | Infinite Vertices | Windows-only – not rated. |
