| Aug 29 20:29:00 | The House on the Right | Really cool game, i love visual style and music fits perfectly and sets great mood. Gameplay concept is also interesting, maybe not completely fleshed out in your game, but i can imagine game where you just investigate crime scenes and try to figure out what happened, how it happened and why. Great game and idea overall, good job! <br/> <br/>BTW: Could you please tell me how to achieve this visual effect? I would like to experiment with it. | |
| Aug 29 20:43:00 | 14m 00s | Escape The Pyramid ! | Pretty polished game with a lot of levels, that's rare in Ludum Dare games. Gameplay is solid and every level presents a new kind of challenge. Art style and soundtrack go along pretty well giving a game nice atmosphere. Humor also adds to this game. |
| Aug 29 21:05:00 | 22m 00s | The Pyramid's Secret | Neat game with nice mood. At the beginning i wasn't sure what to expect and i was on my toes for a long time, later i realised that there will be probably only puzzles in final room on each level (no monster or anything). Music sets nice tone and i don't think your game is lacking sound, "minimalistic" style and audio give, in this case, a great atmosphere. More gameplay mechanics could be nice, i mean i think i get what were you trying to do, a game where you explore sinister, ancient pyramids. And you captured that experience pretty good, but after few levels it gets repetitive. Anyway still pretty solid game with a bit uniqueness in it. |
| Aug 30 17:44:00 | 20h 39m | Captain Yods | Congratulations on your first LD, pretty neat game. Weapons could use some more balancing, for example there was no need to ever use spear, range weapons can deal damage from far and they deal even more damage. Would be cool if spear is better against enemies X, but for enemies Y it's better to use crossbow etc. Anyway solid game, especially for your first LD, good job! |
| Aug 31 19:23:00 | 25h 39m | Sumer Game | Fun little game, i could see this as some sort of minigame or puzzle in adventure game. In easy mode there are too many symbols to fill i mean it's easy mode so completing it should be a bit faster and require less effort. Also nice use of theme. Overall solid game. |
| Aug 31 19:44:00 | 21m 00s | Roman Defence | Fun game but after a while gets repetitive. Maybe more significant spike in difficulty could help make game more engaging. Still game is entartaining and fun to play, pixel art is decent and music fits well. <br/> <br/>BTW: as @Traf d-Lo said before, there is a bug where spear launches from previous position. At first it was annoying but actually player can use this as advatage sometimes :D |
| Aug 31 20:01:00 | 17m 00s | Ragdoll Romans | Whoaw, really cool game, prbly the most fun game i played so far in LD36. Really nice concept and execution. Shame there isn't more "content", which is understandable after all it's game jam with time limitation. I would like to see you expand this game, adding rivals, more race mods and race tracks. Music and graphics have fun vibe and match game's light atmosphere. Really cool game. <br/> <br/>My best time is 44.96 (i think the best strat is to lose one hourse, it's much easier to controll chariot with one hourse) |
| Aug 31 20:05:00 | 4m 00s | Age of Garbage | Hah nice intro and fun characters :D. I like overall atmosphere and light mood, very humorous game. Gameplay is solid but a bit clunky, could use some polishing. Still game is pretty fun to play and has it's charm. |
| Aug 31 20:24:00 | 19m 00s | Romans Vs Gauls | Pretty good clone of Plants vs Zombies. Entertaining gameplay that keeps player engaged. Game is very challenging and really keeps you occupied every second (except beggining but that's standard in tower-defense games). Game could use more sound effects and better graphics but that is matter of secondary importance. <br/> <br/>One small thing, money bags could be more visible, they should catch player's attention. It's easy to just no notice them. |
| Aug 31 20:42:00 | 18m 00s | Why Am I In The Past? Who Cares! Shoot The Romans | Ha, very clever idea for a game that can catch people's attention. Gameplay is solid and difficulty spike is well balanced. Shame there isn't more weapons. Anyway good job! |
| Aug 31 20:47:00 | 5m 00s | Old Discovery | From visual standpoint game is really good looking and music fits well. There could be some more gameplay mechanics though. |
| Aug 31 21:02:00 | 15m 00s | Temple Quest | Fun game. The best part was definitely music but gameplay was also okay, challenging levels that you can't just memorize (fire level). About controlls, first off key s just wins the level and i pressed that instinctively at the beggining before i read controlls. Let's say i was confused a bit :P Also having to press shift, q and space with my left hand was not very intuitive and comfortable. Other than that game is pretty cool and fun to play. I liked between level screen where you have kind of temple overview and game gives you a feeling of free choice what you want to explore next. |
| Aug 31 21:10:00 | 8m 00s | tEGGnology | Very good looking game, art style is just beautiful. How did you achieve so nice visual effect? Anyway gameplay is fun, i like how you get new items / abilities after every run so every time you get further. Music sets light, fun mood and adds to the experience. |
| Aug 31 21:22:00 | 12m 00s | Holy War! | Well made game and visually stunning. Cool idea but there isn't much gameplay (that's not necessarily a negative, this kind of game also can be enjoyable, it's just more of a relaxing/ zen experience kind of game). Music is also of high quality. Overall cool game, really pretty looking. |
| Aug 31 21:51:00 | 29m 00s | PrimalVoxels | Nice graphic style, and gameplay is solid. Collision are a bit clunky but other than that i have no serious complains. Of course you could expand this game and add more weapons, more levels etc. |
| Aug 31 21:57:00 | 6m 00s | Aqueducts | Ha funny game and well made. Simple concept but entertaining. Shame you have to start over if you make mistake. This game really reminds me of Rock of Ages. Similar style and humour. |
| Aug 31 22:03:00 | 6m 00s | Into The Light | Gameplay is engaging but the lack of feedback really can be annoying, many times i lost and i wan't sure why. Other than that it's pretty fun experience and music + sounds effect add to the game. Simple graphics but consistent style. |
| Sep 1 08:39:00 | 10h 36m | MistIslands | Interesting game with nice art style. It was fun to learn game's rules and understanding mechanics, after few turns player knows everything he needs to know. I only wish that choosing tiles you move one would had more impact, i felt like regardless of what tile i am on i get random a event from the same pool (ofc there are exception like portal and altar). Anyway pretty engaging and entertaining game! |
| Sep 1 08:52:00 | 13m 00s | PALEO | Polished and very innovative game. Art style is also nice. I like how you command many cavemen and every one can be a little bit different. It's fun to see how your tribe is getting stronger and gets controll of more and more area. With some more mechanics / game mods it could be a game that players can spends hours in. |
| Sep 1 10:21:00 | 1h 29m | Battle Forge | Cool concept and nice execution. Games keeps you occupied all the time and you don't even have time to get bored. Difficulty increases with each level and teaches player new mechanics so the game does not get repetitive. Art style is pretty good looking and music fits weel. Solid game overall. |
| Sep 1 13:37:00 | 3h 16m | I'm not saying it's aliens... | Neat idea and execution. I like how you can see on the ufo glass part blocks that you can grab. Shame that there isn't some sort of assist when you place blocks on pyramid, for example if you drop block close enough to some spot it gets pulled into right position. BTW lowering ufo and just crashing your pyramid is also pretty entertaining :) |
| Sep 1 13:53:00 | 16m 00s | Small Civilzation | That game is way more complex than i expected. All building are well balanced and player really has to think and plan ahead before building somethig. <br/>At first i was a bit lost and wasn't sure what to do but after a while i got grasp on the game mechanics. I like graphics, shame there is no sound but that understandable due the time limitation. Good job! |
| Sep 1 15:17:00 | 1h 24m | Theoton | Hahaha cool idea and neat execution. Player can quickly grasp the idea behind the game and enjoy playing. Levels are well designed presenting various challenges. I also like your choice of graphic style. Overall good game with very innovative gameplay mechanic. |
| Sep 1 15:36:00 | 19m 00s | Temple Trial | Cool graphics, it really makes game stand out. Gameplay was okay, but once you researched something it would be nice to reread what particular item does (i mean you can do it on piece of paper but i don't think many people are going to do that). I like how player has to experiment to progress in game. Overall solid game. |
| Sep 1 17:42:00 | 2h 06m | Where Is My Boat | Good looking game. As you said there isn't much gameplay but you learned new thing and that's the best thing about Ludum Dare. It's important to not get stuck in your comfort zone and try new things. If there was rating system i think you could easly get to 100 best graphics. |
| Sep 2 19:34:00 | 25h 52m | My house is over there | Very atmospheric game, from the first second mood is just overwhelming player. I really liked walking around this town and looking for green house. When i got too far into the woods and sounds effect / music changed i was really on my toes not knowing what to expect. Really cool game and pretty looking. Cars that drive around town add a lot to the atmosphere. <br/>BTW: i found some floating trees above the ground and even one car was hovering above street. I just want to let you know that there are some minor bugs. |
| Sep 2 19:56:00 | 22m 00s | Ancients Home | Very cool idea and execution. House is pretty small and there isn't much puzzles but it's understandable due to time limitation. Anyway game is pretty fun to play and notes are really adding to the experience. Would be cool to see this idea expanded. <br/> <br/>BTW i left one troll note next to the doors to basement. I hope it will make someone's playthrough a little bit spicy ;) |
| Sep 3 06:49:00 | 10h 53m | Catapults | Well made game , i like destructible enviroment. Some kind of shader that makes bullet trail could be cool and would help to see projectiles. Game is fun to play, both players have to very quickly find right angle to hit opponent and actively avoid projectiles. |
| Sep 3 10:31:00 | 3h 42m | An Ancient Mistery | Pretty interesting concpet, game forces player to look for solution on the internet and gives him a chance to learn something new. When you complete the puzzle it gives you more satisfaction than solving more generic/typical game puzzle. Controlls are a little bit clunky but that's not so important in this game. I also liked the noir style. |
| Sep 3 15:06:00 | 4h 35m | Arcabuz | Pretty neat looling game. Game mechanics are fine but they should have capitalized on them by level design. Of course, as you said, you didn't have time for making levels which is understandable due to the time limitation. Would be interesting to see what could you do with these game mechanic if you got more time. BTW it was a nice touch with more realistc hearts :) |
| Sep 3 15:24:00 | 18m 00s | The Mighty Stick | Interesting idea and i like how action takes place on a small planet. It's also nice that game explains itself, i mean there are instructions / to-do list next to the player when he starts the game. Unfortunately after you find the stick, games isn't so good at explaining what to do later. I knew that i had to find the generator and do something with it and monolith but before i could experiment and try new things my oxygen ran out and i had to start over, and maybe i even got futher each time but that was getting a bit frustrating. Other than that concept is pretty cool and that was very innovative approach to the theme. <br/> <br/>Here are some bugs i ran into: Mouse isn't locked to the game screen and if someone is using two monitors then it might be a problem. You can jump before hitting the ground which basically means that you can fly around the planet (maybe that was intentional) |
| Sep 3 19:44:00 | 4h 20m | << FIND REWIND | Whoaw, one of the best entries in this LD edition i have seen so far. Very cool graphics and they were made in so short time, really impressive. I also like the characters, we don't know much about them but short dialogues give them enough personalities. At first i thougth that gameplay is going to be the low point of this game but i was wrong, mini-games were fun to play and really challenging if you wanted that angry man to give you more stars. Humour is also great, google ended memes and you are literally shooting movies. Pretty great game in overall, can't wait to see what you got for next LD. |
| Sep 4 06:46:00 | 11h 02m | An Historic Defense | I like how "robot lady" explains basics mechanics at the beggining, perhaps she could say something to narrate situation from time to time, like when new wave starts or you are almost dead etc. I think that would add to the experience. Gameplay is satisfying and fighting robots is challenging. I noticed that if you are shooting enemies from too far, they don't get damaged. I know that's probably because players could exploit ai and shoot them from the corner of the map but it would be nice if there was some other fix for that exploit. Pretty solid entry, especially for first Ludum Dare, good job. |
