Dec 11 20:37:00		El Laberinto De Pereira	The music was really great. Have you heard of Fytch music? Your music reminded me of that. <br/> <br/>Obviously, there was not much innovation in game mechanics, but that was not your goal I think. The ending was neat.
Dec 11 20:49:00	12m 00s	Chat Room One	One of my ideas (I didn't end up making) was also some one chat room puzzle thingy. I am really glad I can see it even though I didn't make it :). Right now I am the only one online though. Maybe later...
Dec 11 21:20:00	31m 00s	Claim Your Color	There is a really old (>12 years) game just like this one right? The nostalgia just hit me hard, I remember playing it all the time as as kid. Do you know the name by any chance? Each player had a brush, but other than that it was just like this. <br/> <br/>Anyway, I really liked it. The music was good. The AI could be a bit better, but in a game jam this short, there obviously was not enough time for that.
Dec 12 22:33:00	25h 13m	Room Loop	My favorite entry so far. Really enjoyable, challenging in a good way. Nice audio. I loved the level design and was really awed when the room rotated. <br/> <br/>Reminds me of the This is the only level series by Armor Games.
Dec 13 21:36:00	23h 03m	After Party	Technically, it is a well executed game. It works, the mechanics are quite interesting, difficulty is good. But I just really don't like the story.
Dec 13 22:14:00	38m 00s	Royal Rise (Online Multiplayer)	Wow, great job on making a multiplayer game for LD, it works very smoothly. The collisions and jumping are not very buggy, the only thing that felt wrong was jumping up through a gap 1 tile wide. <br/> <br/>The music was nice too. Great compo entry.
Dec 13 22:26:00	12m 00s	atomic-swerve	Very simple, yet it took me very long to get it. Not very polished and complete though. <br/> <br/>One thing that I really didn't like is names of the files index.css and index.js. "index" is a name reserved for the default html page in a folder, and should be used almost exclusively for that. Conventional names for css and js files are "style.css" and something like "main.js", "game.js", "behaviour.js" etc.
Dec 13 22:42:00	16m 00s	Feeldizzy	Interesting mechanics. Great music for a compo entry!
Dec 13 22:50:00	8m 00s	Tidy Up	I like it, I played many tetris clones, but I see this concept for the first tile. However, the non-conventional controls just ruined it for me when I kept hard dropping pieces by accident. Space is almost always the default hard drop key.
Dec 14 21:59:00	23h 09m	Me, Myself And The Room	I love the graphical style of it. Also, I am glad I am not the only weirdo who has had a plank of wood in his room for years for no reason whatsoever. I don't know whether I "finished" this game, but I think I found all the places already. There should be some progress indicator perhaps... Also, kinda good music. Loved the narrative.
Dec 14 22:08:00	9m 00s	Panic room	Kinda basic concept, but I like it.
Dec 14 22:18:00	10m 00s	Rent for 30 seconds	Very polished and smooth, loved the take on the theme!
Dec 14 23:06:00	48m 00s	Flag Runner	I really like the polish on this. There are so many small things like the shake on impact and the level transitions. And the mechanics were nice too. <br/> <br/>However, I am not a big fan of the level design. There were so many spots where you had to make the pixel-perfect jump, and it seemed more like based on luck than skill, to the point where it started to become frustrating.
Dec 15 17:12:00	18h 06m	Paper Cutter	I have no idea what I am doing, but I like it. But it has really nice visuals and sounds. The jumping seems a bit bugged.
Dec 15 17:27:00	15m 00s	Bag of holding	Nice idea, it took me a while to get what is going on. I don't understand why the black hole is a thing. <br/> <br/>It was a bit slow and felt a bit incomplete though.
Dec 15 22:30:00	5h 03m	SANTA'S ONE ROOM	Loved the theme and execution. Great graphics and audio for a compo entry. But what is up with the controls? It is very counter intuitive. Why not just assign up arrow to jumping and space to hit?
Dec 17 23:46:00	49h 16m	One Room - The Challenge	It was very difficult to the point of being frustrating. It could be a bit more forgiving. I like how the shadows are made, however it felt a bit weird that the bullets cast shadows too.
Dec 17 23:54:00	8m 00s	Wub Dub Dodge	I liked the concept, but I was hoping for more rhythm incorporation with the name.
Dec 18 00:14:00	20m 00s	Dawn Experiments	Wow, great all the way. Best puzzle I played this LD. Very good difficulty scale.
Dec 18 00:43:00	29m 00s	The One Room Experiment	I liked this. It took me about 3 tries. The controls should be more clear. I loved the style and transitions.
Dec 18 15:21:00	14h 38m	Roomckey	The link is broken. It says "The developer has not uploaded a game yet..."
Dec 18 15:28:00	7m 00s	Roach Escape	I like the concept, but it ways way too easy for a puzzle game. There was always excess of tools. I would like this much better if there was always a unique solution and some optimization would have to take place in order to solve the puzzles.
Dec 18 15:42:00	14m 00s	Telepathy Dungeon	Great concept, nice execution. Could be a bit longer and harder.
Dec 18 16:00:00	18m 00s	Garage Christmas	It was so heartwarming and calm game. I love your art style and narratives.
Dec 18 16:16:00	16m 00s	Room Zero	Good job with the collisions, they work good. You should add <br/> <br/>if ([32, 37, 38, 39, 40].indexOf(e.keyCode) > -1) e.preventDefault() <br/> <br/>to the onKeyDown callback to prevent it from scrolling in iframe.
Dec 18 17:28:00	1h 12m	TISIC IZIEB	Really great entry! Great job with the audio and the visuals. Really atmospheric and polished. Loved it all the way!
Dec 18 19:44:00	2h 16m	Gogol	Oh my this game is HARD! The controls feel good after a while, but I didn't like the randomness of direction of the projectiles. Also, I would appreciate some checkpoints so I don't have to start over every time.
Dec 18 22:42:00	2h 58m	Shut in Simulator	I love the idea. It looks very polished. I really liked it.
Dec 18 22:46:00	4m 00s	Ghost In the room	Great visuals and feel of the game. The shooting only in the direction of movement felt very strange. The game could have been a bit more flexed out.
Dec 19 03:06:00	4h 20m	Life.exe	That's it, I give up. I got into the rabbit hole and got stuck... <br/> <br/>Really great entry. Atmospheric, nice graphics, great audio. The controls felt a bit clunky though, but that is not what the game is about so it's k.
Dec 19 16:55:00	13h 49m	The Recursive Dollhouse	Wow, great game all the way. The best one I played out of the 50 probably. Great sounds, good graphics, superb usage of the theme. And just the right difficulty too. I would not be surprised to see this game at the top of several categories.
Dec 19 23:51:00	6h 56m	I'm no shut-in	I really enjoyed this. Absolutely atmospheric. Great work with the sounds. It really creeped me out when I got to the trashy room for the first time and the game crashed. <br/> <br/>You were asking whether the 6000 players in Just pick a number are real. They are, and they are coming from reddit. Check my updated entry for more info.
Dec 24 14:06:00	110h 15m	Good Impression	I really liked it, nice use of the theme. Good atmosphere. It however feels a bit unfair that it takes a while to figure out what to do and how to move. <br/> <br/>I couldn't find the rag.
Dec 25 21:07:00	31h 01m	levelone	Wow, great compo entry. Loved the graphics, the face actually looked like a face and the bull actually looked like a bull. Good job with that :) <br/> <br/>The audio was good too. <br/> <br/>The length was ok. It all worked really smoothly and I didn't notice any actual bugs. Really polished. <br/> <br/>One of the best I played so far.
Dec 25 21:21:00	14m 00s	Falling Dungeon	I like the idea, but not so much the execution. Some (any at all) sounds would help it a bit. The blocks should not be falling continually but tile by tile (just like in Tetris). Also, pressing the down arrow permanently sped up the blocks for me, so when I pressed multiple times, it gradually fell faster and faster. That broke the game on the second level to the point where it was unplayable. <br/> <br/>The gameplay felt very slow. Maybe hard dropping of the blocks with space (like in tetris) would help. <br/> <br/>Also, there should be some in-game instructions that you should right click to move around. <br/> <br/>Overall, I didn't really like it.
Dec 28 01:10:00	51h 49m	Homes under the Hammer	I loved the execution. The sound effect of falling building were perfect. I loved the humor and style of the game. I guess I just love Löve games. <br/> <br/>I don't get whether the support walls are assigned randomly or if there is any system.
Dec 29 01:01:00	23h 51m	Was ist das für 1 Room?	Wow, I löved everything about this game. I like (and make) optimization puzzles in general, but this one I liked a lot. <br/> <br/>Finally beat it after about an hour. The puzzles were challenging but not frustrating, and it was very satisfying every time I solved a level. The last one was very clever, and trial and error was very ineffective over actually thinking about the level. Once I realized there has to be the shortest possible path between the doors left, it became easy. <br/> <br/>I liked how the correct layout (sometimes) actually made sense in how the actual room would be laid out. <br/> <br/>Probably the best puzzle game this LD for me. <br/> <br/>Also, nice use of the theme.
Dec 29 02:36:00	1h 35m	Bugroom	I quite like it. You made a working rts, which is a great feat for Ludum Dare. <br/> <br/>It was sometimes a bit confusing mainly because there were no hp bars. The guards didn't seem to do their jobs correctly, and it was quite frustrating that I had to click each individual square to be destroyed instead of selecting more of them at once. <br/> <br/>And what a shame there are no sounds.
Dec 30 01:36:00	23h 00m	Super Battle Cycle	Really liked it. Gave up at the shotgun level. Great sounds and visual for a compo entry. Really polished and finished game, good job! <br/> <br/>It is just mean to bind restart key to the default reload key in a shooter game. <br/> <br/>Getting a hard hit with a heavy box was super satisfying.
Dec 30 16:54:00	15h 18m	Santa's little bin packer	I had really similar idea to this store management game, but gave it up. I am glad to see someone else finish it. I liked the graphics.
