| Apr 19 23:25:00 | Evolution | I liked how the different forms had different gameplay tactics, and the graphics were good. <br/> <br/>Adding something like an X button instead of mouse button to control would be cool as well | |
| Apr 19 23:34:00 | 9m 00s | Barber Blues | Grrreat music and audio <br/> <br/>I liked the constant choice between doing something "right" and just saying screw it this is close enough can't afford to spend more time on this dude. |
| Apr 19 23:44:00 | 10m 00s | Capital Offense | This is really good, great gameplay. It gets hard as hell pretty quickly. <br/> <br/>Some visual and/or aural feedback when shooting stuff will probably make it a lot more satisfactory as well! Also some noise when losing health would improve the gameplay as well, in the middle of it all you don't really have that much time to look at the health. |
| Apr 19 23:56:00 | 12m 00s | Nightshift | GREAST intro and graphics / atmosphere in general <br/> <br/>The weird big psychadelic pixels that show up every now and then were great <br/> <br/>The shape select thing seems laggy and is a nightmare to use <br/> <br/>Personally I'm more of a fan of faster movement / smaller hitbox / more bullets kinda games but I guess that comes down to preference. Catloaf seemed a bit too slow to be effectful thouhj |
| Apr 20 10:08:00 | 10h 12m | Shapeless Island | Nice mechanics and game! <br/> <br/>I might have liked the bouncing shapes to be a bit larger, as it was a bit frustrating do finish off the end part of the levels. Also some visual feedback when finishing off all of a certain shape would add to the satisfaction of doing it. |
| Apr 20 21:01:00 | 10h 53m | Ship Shape | The Power and Score text doesn't show for me in the Web version on Chrome and Windows 8. Probably look into this and update it if it is an easy fix? <br/> <br/>I downloaded the game and it makes a lot more sense when you can see the score and power. The gameplay mechanics are very inspired and have great potential! It is a bit hard to tell if you're doing good or bad when building though which i <br/> <br/>Also I'm on a laptop (i.e. touchpad) and all of us laptoppers would be way happier if you added a keyboard button to switch between wall and floor tiles - scrolling on a touchpad is akward at best. <br/> <br/>Great sound effects! Some music would be cool as well |
| Apr 20 21:44:00 | 43m 00s | Morph Ranger | Great game! Very well scoped and executed, no stupid filler. The gameplay is satisfying. <br/> <br/>It does feel a bit like an introduction level and thus leaves you wanting a bit more - I guess this is the intent though, and the game could nicely be expanded to a cool 40 min platformer. |
| Apr 20 22:03:00 | 19m 00s | ShiftDefender | Pretty cute game! The mechanics are good but the learning curve is very harsh - it would benefit a lot from an easy first minute, and I think you could probably cut the enemy speed in half to let the player think a bit more on the shape shifting decisions. Nice entry! |
| Apr 20 22:15:00 | 12m 00s | Photagogue | Cool game! I love beat em ups, you got the controls to feel satisfying. <br/> <br/>Auto Saves before and after certain parts would probably work - by the 4th time I die on the dinos after the spikes I'm pretty much "kool that was fun" and quit. <br/> <br/>DEFINITELY go to itchi.io and find the embed link for the game to use instead, it will look a lot better on the Ludum Are site. <br/> <br/>The dino in the third wave kinda got stuck in the air and I died trying to jump up and punch him :/ <br/> <br/>Music is really great! |
| Apr 20 22:24:00 | 9m 00s | Mighty 10tackle | LOVE the Bubble Bobble graphics. <br/> <br/>It does get a bit too confusing sometimes but the feeling when you manage to sneak in and grab the flag is definitely worth it! Very satisfying. |
| Apr 20 22:28:00 | 4m 00s | Shicken | Seems cool but I a bit confusing switching between weapons and figuring out the right stuff to do ! |
| Apr 20 22:38:00 | 10m 00s | Transform! The Three Natures | Good mechanics! the tutorial could probably have been done as text as you moved through the first level though. <br/> <br/>I did get stuck pretty early and couldn't figure out how to move forward (just after the spikes after the water...) |
| Apr 20 22:45:00 | 7m 00s | PixelShifter | Fun idea and ugly-beautiful graphics/audio. I like the level 2 theme. <br/> <br/>Level 2 had a bit of a trial and error part where you have to hope the snails aren't underneath you when you jump down - not the biggest fan of that kind of memorization and gameplay |
| Apr 20 22:56:00 | 11m 00s | Transmog - Not a Pokemon Clone™ | Very cool throwback, very full featured. <br/> <br/>It was a bit hard to tell which attacks were good and when they were good so I ended up just mashing x and then dying after a while... that's probably more me than the game though. |
| Apr 20 23:02:00 | 6m 00s | Reconfigure | Coool game! Awesome music, good shmuppy gameplay. <br/> <br/>Honestly kinda hard to play on a touchpad, I should have brought a mouse with this laptop. |
| Apr 20 23:08:00 | 6m 00s | Shifting Shapes | Pretty cool! I probably would've liked a 6 lines instead of 8 and more emphasis on doing stuff fast, but that might be personal preference. Going for 8 is just a bit of a big commitment and makes you go AAARG when not making a line for whatever reason. It is very satisfying when you do it though. |
| Apr 20 23:24:00 | 16m 00s | Chocolate box factory | I like it a lot! It's like Tetris meets Mahjong. Impressive random generation! |
| Apr 21 10:55:00 | 11h 31m | Go Get Those Boxes | Sweet game! Very compulsive and satisfying gameplay. A bit faster movement and some crazy Quake style maps would be fun to try it with. <br/> <br/>I liked jumping up to be a bit safer an\d thee subsequent risk/reward of jumping down again to grab more boxes. Good sound effects as well. |
| Apr 21 13:28:00 | 2h 33m | Colour Shift | Fun but as you mentioned the physics are a bit weird. I'd probably streamline it and just had the gun shoot straight when pressing a button instead! Great graphics. |
| Apr 21 13:34:00 | 6m 00s | Wasteland Wars | It seems pretty cool and fun but the weird hit boxes and controls/physics of shooting make it a bit too hard to play! |
| Apr 22 06:22:00 | 16h 48m | Transformagician | Great music and nice stealthy gameplay! I liked just trying to hightail it and run past enemies more than trying to transform though. |
| Apr 22 07:23:00 | 1h 01m | Seattle Condo Creator | I like this a lot! Great visuals and pretty fun for not having that much gameplay. Just dropping a bunch of buildings everywhere is satisfying. <br/> <br/>Here's the best picture I took in it: http://i.imgur.com/XTlt10S.jpg?1 <br/> <br/>I'd love to hear some more on how you arrived at this look - is it a custom shader? |
| Apr 22 07:50:00 | 27m 00s | SUBJECT 26 | Good game, very well done atmosphere and nice progression <br/> <br/>I did get stuck before the end - might be my patience's fault more than the game for giving up eventually |
| Apr 22 08:14:00 | 24m 00s | Arnold Stallion's Pump or Die | Nice humour! Gameplay is cool and a good start - it would be very interesting if the "Get in shape" thing was quicker so you'd use it more in actual fights, I mostly used it before fights now. |
| Apr 22 08:26:00 | 12m 00s | LycanQuest | Nice! Very satisfying attack as the wolf, good graphics and *amazing* effects |
| Apr 25 21:36:00 | 85h 10m | ADAPT | Great music and fun mechanics! The parts where you have to shape shift mid air were the most fun |
| Apr 25 21:40:00 | 4m 00s | In Artery | Cool game! Great graphics and music. The learning curve is a bit high though! |
| Apr 25 21:59:00 | 19m 00s | Perspective Shift | Cool game but it should really checkpoint after each level! Especially the first level is kind of boring to replay, after that they are a lot more fun though |
| Apr 25 22:07:00 | 8m 00s | Side Effects | Wow, this was really good! Satisfying gameplay and great graphics. Super good animations, it feels fun to punch the lab people. |
| Apr 25 22:13:00 | 6m 00s | Totem | Wow, very impressive. It's like a minimal Megaman (though just as hard)! Great design. |
| May 1 23:19:00 | 145h 06m | Triple Shift | Nice spin on the game! <br/> <br/>Only issue is IMO the same as most matching games - for me I always end up getting the bigger combos by random instead of by being clever, but I don't know if this is because I haven't played enough yet or not. |
| May 1 23:24:00 | 5m 00s | Punch Drunk VS Geometry! | I like the mechanics! It's hard to resist just try and hit every "note" though |
| May 1 23:33:00 | 9m 00s | Relec Hunter | Nice start prototype of a Metroidvania. Reminds me of Lyle in Cube Sector a lot |
| May 1 23:36:00 | 3m 00s | Super Demon Against the Clone Rabbits Army | I really like the switching a lot, very well done. |
| May 1 23:41:00 | 5m 00s | Shadowshifter | Wow, great game. It does a lot with a very simple concept, and the art fits amazingly as well. |
| May 1 23:46:00 | 5m 00s | Wings for Ska Li | VERY elegant gameplay, it is surprisingly fun and flexible. I like the lo-fi asthetic and the nice music as well. |
| May 1 23:51:00 | 5m 00s | Abyssal Dream | Fun lo-fi game with a bit of a Metroid feeling, great graphics and satisfying gameplay! |
| May 3 18:25:00 | 42h 34m | Sky Panic | Fun shmup! Satisfying gameplay and nice shape shifting. It does get a bit samey after a bit - some different enemy times and more chaos would work well! also some sort of mega laser that needs to build up energy to be used is always fun. |
| May 3 18:29:00 | 4m 00s | Sock Wars | Pretty funny, ambitious do to many types of gameplay! |
| May 3 18:31:00 | 2m 00s | The Tentacle Problem | Well realized and good graphics! It could use some further twists to the gameplay to make it more interesting |
| May 3 18:46:00 | 15m 00s | BiggyPunch | I like the graphics. <br/> <br/>Everything feels a bit floaty and the physics when punching stuff and changing is a bit weird - could either take some polishing or just embracing the weirdness and making the glitchy stuff play a larger part of the gameplay! Which would actually work well with the graphics. |
| May 3 18:51:00 | 5m 00s | Boring Human Existence | Great audio effects and fun graphics. The jumping is actually pretty cool, I like how you really need to focus to nail the jumps - could be expanded nicely with more levels and mechanics! |
| May 3 19:01:00 | 10m 00s | Spooky Shift | The glitchy jump mechanics are surprisingly fun! I liked sticking to the walls and double jumping as well |
| May 3 19:43:00 | 42m 00s | Water Island | Fun simulator! Could be expanded in a lot of cool directions. Respect at getting the mechanics and physics working so well. <br/> <br/>It would be cool if the neighbouring points were raised a bit as well when you created a mountain - though it would probably need faster erosion to balance it out. |
| May 3 19:51:00 | 8m 00s | ROVERBOARD ⚔ HOVERSWORD | Grreat voices! Also pretty amazing backgrounds especially. <br/> <br/>Fun gameplay as well, though it does remind me of Olli Olli as well |
| May 3 19:55:00 | 4m 00s | ΣΩ | Good fundamental mechanics, could be expanded upon to be really fun and clever! I really didn't get out of the first room though - are you supposed to be able to move left and right as the helicopter? |
| May 4 08:58:00 | 13h 03m | Shieft | Wow, this is super impressive! Great mechanics, very clear 2D representations of the maps and it really gets you thinking of how to get to new places. Very impressive graphics as well. <br/> <br/>As it is a Compo entry - can you provide the source? It would be really fun to go in and learn how this is put together! |
| May 4 22:17:00 | 13h 19m | Shape Escape | Clever gameplay! Personally I wish the transformations would be quicker but I might just be impatient... |
| May 10 23:02:00 | 144h 45m | I Have Brig Plans | Very clever gameplay! Great sound and music as well. |
