| Apr 19 02:54:00 | Genre Hopper | Pretty fun to play! Definitely challenging, I couldn't get past 20 or so. <br/> <br/>Overall polish could be improved (an in-game instructions screen to get a reminder on the controls would have been a big help) but getting anything done in just one weekend is already an accomplishment. <br/> <br/>Keep at it! :) | |
| Apr 19 03:05:00 | 11m 00s | Shadow Play | Cool concept and story! With a bit more polish and more levels it could be really cool. <br/> <br/>I thought that the way the blocks faded in and out at the edges of the light was a bit finicky. Some of the spaces also felt a bit too cramped, making it overly difficult to do the maneuvers you need to get the light in the right spots. |
| Apr 19 03:18:00 | 13m 00s | SAMSARA | Pretty cool concept, and amazing art and music. <br/> <br/>From a gameplay perspective, it definitely needs a bit more fleshing out though. The controls seemed buggy (I think the circle combo is backwards, says left down right in game but is actually right down left?) and sometimes the correct shield failed to block a shape. Also the game appears to have no ending? <br/> <br/>With a tutorial and some gameplay polish this could easily be an awesome game. Keep it up. |
| Apr 19 03:31:00 | 13m 00s | shape, LeSS | Nice straightforward little platformer! :) A little low on the innovation, but well done. The graphics were quite nice. <br/> <br/>There were some issues, like that I seemed to be able to get stuck in the walls in a few places, and I got pretty confused on where I was supposed to be going sometimes, but nothing too bad. <br/> <br/>I have to say though that the mechanic of needing to wait for your shape-shift bar to refill wasn't very fun. There's nothing particularly exciting about sitting there and waiting for a bar to fill up for 5 seconds. Maybe it would be cool if there were enemies or something to keep you occupied while you waited? |
| Apr 19 14:07:00 | 10h 36m | Caged | This was a lot of fun! I really appreciate the level design. |
| Apr 19 17:18:00 | 3h 11m | Body Key | Very fun! The level design was on point. I liked how you handled movement, very unique. :) |
| Apr 19 21:27:00 | 4h 09m | Dís | Sometimes continuing to work is the hardest part. Great job at sticking with it! What you have is solid :) |
| Apr 27 22:54:00 | 193h 27m | Conquest of Flatland | Really cool game! It had a lot more depth of gameplay and replayability than the average LD game. With some graphics improvements and polish it could turn into a really cool game. It seems like it would take some tweaking to appeal to non-programmers though; Editing your unit AI is quite complicated for a game, especially one intended for real-time play. <br/> <br/>For some reason halfway through the game my units started wandering in random directions when they were supposed to be finding the nearest enemy, and I wasn't sure why they did that. |
| Apr 27 23:00:00 | 6m 00s | Fulmen | Really nice! I loved the little intro-scene where your friend gets zapped, very sad! With a bit more fleshing out it could be a really cool game. The first level with enemies was a bit sparse without much variety, but pretty solid. <br/> <br/>For some reason one time when I died in mid-air, my person just got stuck in place and the game didn't restart. I had to reload the page to continue playing. |
| Apr 27 23:09:00 | 9m 00s | Paranormal Investigator | Really well done! The area was just the right size to be challenging but still possible to track down the enemy. The first time I realized something that I had tracked was missing gave a great "Wait... THAT WAS THE SHAPESHIFTER!" moment! Overall very easy to learn, understand and play, great game! |
| Apr 27 23:13:00 | 4m 00s | Badassnake | Nice! Straightforward and well done. Fun to play. Also sort of related to the shapeshifter theme... a little bit? :) |
| Apr 27 23:20:00 | 7m 00s | SPY | Cool game! The shifting text at the beginning was annoying though. Made it way too hard to read the instructions. The gameplay was pretty smooth and easy to pick up, but quite challenging overall. |
| Apr 27 23:28:00 | 8m 00s | Space Balls | In the future, package a game as just a self-contained executable folder. Having to install the game was really annoying and is probably why you don't have more ratings. Also the "Web" link is supposed to go to a website version, not a web-based download for a windows version. <br/> <br/>As for the game, it was pretty cool, but a bit simplistic. It was also too difficult to avoid hitting the red blocks and basically impossible to avoid the bullets once you had hit the red block. But with more polish and game design work you could make something really cool. Keep making games and you'll go far! |
| Apr 27 23:35:00 | 7m 00s | Mimicry | Pretty cool game! The audio lines were funny :) Nice and straightforward to learn and play, and good use of the theme. Very solid game, you should be really proud of yourselves! |
| Apr 27 23:57:00 | 22m 00s | Wake Up Shaple | Nice game! Nice and straightforward to learn and play. A little low on the innovation, but very solid execution, good audio and graphics. I am REALLY bad at these kinds of games though so I couldn't get very far, but nicely done overall! |
| May 6 21:05:00 | 213h 08m | Shifting Sands | In the future, you need to provide the executable and data folder packaged together into a SINGLE zip file. Forcing people to download them and piece them together is unacceptable. <br/> <br/>As for the game, I tried everything and I couldn't figure out how to fight back against the monster. You need to have some sort of instructions on how to play your game or people will be unable to play. |
| May 6 21:10:00 | 5m 00s | Shapey Jets | Cool, solid little game! Didn't have much Shapeshift theme though :P I think the difficulty curve could use some balancing though, at least for me it was too easy at first, almost to the point of being boring, and then it VERY quickly devolved into a screen completely full of unavoidable bullets. |
| May 6 21:16:00 | 6m 00s | It could have been Two Colors | Honestly, the most fun game I've played this Ludum Dare! Great job! Audio was on point, and the theme was kinda funny :P |
| May 6 21:22:00 | 6m 00s | Palkheun Shape | Nice little rhythm game. I wish the difficulty ramped up a little faster, it was seemed quite monotonous to me for a while there. Overall fun and solidly built. |
| May 9 02:39:00 | 53h 17m | My Strange Alien Friend | Seems like an interesting game that could have potential with some more work. The physics seemed wonky, I kept getting stuck in walls and getting unable to jump for some reason, which made it very difficult to play enjoyably. Also a little bit of tutorial on what the goal of the game is at the beginning would be helpful. |
| May 9 02:43:00 | 4m 00s | Drunk'n nuts | Definitely the best graphics I've seen yet this LD! Great job on that. Would be nice to see a bit more gameplay. |
