|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 12 02:06:00 | The Singularity Room | Aliens have consumed the humanity :D. Love the art style and the concept, the game seems a bit too difficult though, i tried a couple times and couldn't get past the first level. | |
| Dec 14 08:11:00 | 54h 05m | The Cranks | Love the concept, graphics are very nice and the difficulty curve is just right. Overall a very fun game, great job! |
| Dec 14 08:35:00 | 24m 00s | ROOM | Absolutely loved it! Great concept, original visual style, a fun, trippy vibe and very fun mechanics. Played it a couple times and still couldn't get enough. Great job! |
| Dec 14 08:56:00 | 21m 00s | BOSS ROOM | Great game! Fun to play, pleasant vibe, and it has great flow, one stage is evolving into the other very fluidly. |
| Dec 14 10:45:00 | 1h 49m | Happy Tower RTS | Great game! You took a fun concept and made it great. First of all the AI is really amazing for a game made in 48 hours, secondly the unit design is good, and the increasing difficulty makes the game fun to replay, would've liked to see some feedback on how well I did like a score count, that would definitely add replayability. |
| Dec 14 10:53:00 | 8m 00s | Amelia | Good game! The theme and the music really sets it apart, the mechanics are very sharp and the graphics are really enjoyable, would've loved to see some more levels though. |
| Dec 14 11:06:00 | 13m 00s | The killer is in this room | You literally killed this Ludum Dare, in a good way though! :D A great detective game with great jokes which fit the theme perfectly, minimalist graphics are really on point and obviously the story and the investigation system are great as well. I enjoyed it thoroughly, thank you! |
| Dec 14 11:09:00 | 3m 00s | Bob & Bernard Against the Nazis | Amazing art, fun mechanics, a good upgrade system. You've made a great game which definitely can be expanded into a full-fledged and i would play it for sure! |
| Dec 14 11:16:00 | 7m 00s | Bite The Pain | I'm a mass murderer, yay :D! On a more serious note, the game looks, sounds, feels and plays amazingly well. I felt that I was playing a finished game which is amazing work for 72 hours. You guys should add an upgrade system, polish it a little bit and you'd have a great game which many would buy, I would for sure! |
| Dec 14 11:24:00 | 8m 00s | Dungeon Siege | Good concept which is fun to play, AI of the units is really well done, and the variety of units and abilities great. I'm sure you though about it already but a button which would reduce the timer to 0 would help the passing of the game a lot and would make it more enjoyable. On a final note, great game! |
| Dec 14 11:41:00 | 17m 00s | The Sorting Room | It takes some time to understand what's going on, but if you do, you'll definitely like it. The concept is very original, the minimalist graphics look amazing and the controls are good. The only downfall I can see is that the theme doesn't really fit with One Room, everything else is great! |
| Dec 14 12:06:00 | 25m 00s | Riftong | Amazing graphics and music, addictive gameplay = a very fun game! One thing that I noticed is that the game got easier and easier with every level I passed and at level 10 my health wouldn't go down at all even if I allowed every incoming enemy to hit it remained 100% |
| Dec 14 12:24:00 | 18m 00s | Glad You Came | The idea behind the game is amazing, the art style is amazing as well. I love the idea of assigning people to different sectors, but typing the name of the sector makes it pretty tedious and you don't really see which sector is which if I were you I'd put an interactive map so players could click on the desired sector. Also there was no real weight to the mistakes you made, even if one of the colonists made something bad I was like "ehh, whatever". All of this being said I really hope you continue to work on this, to me it looks like a diamond in the rough! |
| Dec 14 13:39:00 | 1h 15m | The Room Journey | Amazing graphics, greatly designed rooms and you will have some difficulties beating the game which is good because it makes it really enjoyable! |
| Dec 14 16:13:00 | 2h 34m | Shenzhen Manufacturing Co. | The concept sounds great and the screen look awesome as well but the game keeps crashing a couple seconds after I start. <br/>https://s28.postimg.org/mb64w03od/crash.png |
| Dec 14 16:42:00 | 29m 00s | Elves with Shelves | Great theme, nice graphics and most importantly fun to play with friends. It takes a while to understand how it works but after you do, you'll have fun! |
| Dec 14 16:48:00 | 6m 00s | Bat Cave | Pretty cool game, it's simple and fun to play. Maybe some bats should drop some bonuses, like new weapons? Oh yeah and could you tone down the sound of the effects a little as well, this would help. |
| Dec 14 17:03:00 | 15m 00s | Dining Zoom | This game had me hooked for a period of time! Once the clients start coming i'm just getting in DO-mode and i'm all about getting as many orders as possible and that's great feeling! The graphics look perfect the music is just right, one thing though does the game have some increasing difficulty of some kind? I breezed through 7 days and didn't really feel that the difficulty was changing. Besides from it I had a blast with your game, thank you! |
| Dec 14 19:02:00 | 1h 59m | Guardian | Amazing game for a compo entry! A lot of people don't realize how much work you've done in 48 hours, the combat system feels good, the graphics are amazing, very fun to play overall! |
| Dec 16 08:11:00 | 37h 09m | the beuys are back in town | Unique concept turned into a great game, everything is great, graphics are very interesting, music is fitting, mechanics are on point and the game itself has a very unique kinda strange vibe that I definitely like. Like many other I couldn't hug the coyote even after some 15-20 minutes, care to drop some tips? |
| Dec 18 09:12:00 | 49h 01m | Keep Working! | I'm glad I played this game! Unlike a lot of other games this one has a clear message and I love it, the graphics and imagination are really impressive, the mechanics are solid, I wish you guys added some music to the office part of the game, but I get it, you're trying to convey how soul sucking it can be to work for a video-game company that only cares about money. The game is a 5/5 for sure! One last thing is the meteor supposed to symbolize the tendency to make unoriginal games and to straight up rip-off other people's ideas, and the fish that help you fight it are other creative artists? |
| Dec 18 17:09:00 | 7h 57m | Santas Little Helper | Thank you for the nostalgia trip! |
| Dec 18 17:29:00 | 20m 00s | Scary Monsters | Pretty enjoyable game, nice graphics, good sound, and solid controls, is there a way to get new weapons though? |
| Dec 18 17:33:00 | 4m 00s | Poor Mister Bubble | Definitely a great debut game, nice job! |
| Dec 18 17:38:00 | 5m 00s | Trump's First Day | Interesting concept and a good execution, the game can get confusing sometimes though since there's no visual feedback for you actions, still great work for a 72-H game! |
| Dec 19 16:03:00 | 22h 25m | Loft is in the air | This game deserves 5 start for sure! Impressive graphics, awesome soundtrack and sound FX, responsive controls and challenging levels all help make this a very enjoyable game! |
| Dec 20 15:44:00 | 23h 41m | The Library | A work of art! The visuals and the audio are flawless, the controls are also greatly implemented and most importantly you created the feeling that I was the one playing that music, 5/5! |
| Dec 20 16:00:00 | 16m 00s | Undead Arena III | You made a good game! It's fun, the controls are good, the graphics are pretty cool even if they are minimal. I would have liked to see some feedback when I hit the enemies, and it would be nice if headshots killed them faster. Overall it was fun and it looks solid, great game! |
| Dec 20 16:30:00 | 30m 00s | Lust for Gold | Good game for your first LD! The concept is cool, the controls are pretty tight, I can get behind the graphic style as well. Now the audio is a little annoying you may want to tone that down a bit and also the game felt a little hard at times because I can't see what's below me or above me, that makes the game seem unfair and that's a fun-killer. Keep up the great work, you'll make great games in the future! |
| Dec 20 17:12:00 | 42m 00s | Void Inc. | Great game! The graphics are really cool, the audio is great the mechanics are solid the AI is good and the overall idea and the design of the game is awesome. Later on it get a bit too grind-heavy though, I played until the third or the fourth stage and getting rid of that giant demon head felt really annoying and I refused to go on after that. On a final note the is absolutely stunning for a compo entry, adjust the difficulty curve a bit and you have a real gem in your hands! |
| Dec 20 20:59:00 | 3h 47m | The Cellar | Amazing game! The idea, the story, the graphics, the audio and the mechanics all help create a terrific Lovecraft-ian experience, the ending was a bit anticlimactic but it's definitely understandable given the limited time you had. All things considered this is definitely one of my favorite compo games of this LD! |
| Dec 21 15:38:00 | 18h 39m | Karate Basketball | Yes, the you can kick your opponents in the nuts best game ever!!! <br/>On a more serious note, great work, graphics look great, it controls well and it's fun to play. If you added some new abilities and animations it would be pretty damn close to NBA Jam which is awesome, keep up the great work! |
| Dec 22 18:06:00 | 26h 28m | Tehos : Rebirth | Good game! It's fun to play, it looks good, the soundtrack is cool and the gameplay is quite addictive. I liked it! |
| Dec 22 18:13:00 | 7m 00s | Hanabira no mairu | Great atmosphere, the graphics and the audio stand out from the very start, and the game has solid gameplay as well. |
| Dec 22 18:49:00 | 36m 00s | Blackout | Congrats on your first LD, and great game! I love how the game looks, that being said I think you know that it's sometimes hard to differentiate between walls and the floor, if you gave the floor a different color and texture it would help the players get around easier. <br/>The lightning effect on the torch also looks great, a quick question here, if you don't collect torch fuel do you actually lose because everything is covered in darkness and you can't see anything? I waited a little bit and it didn't seem happen, but it would be cool. <br/>The audio, although simplistic, creates a great retro feeling which fits the game. <br/>The controls are easy to understand and are quite pleasant. <br/>Sorry for the long post, it's just because I really liked your game and I think you have a lot of potential and you'll make some great games in the years to come, so good luck! |
| Dec 24 12:05:00 | 41h 16m | STEREOJO | Amazing game, especially considering it's a Compo Entry! Love everything about it, the cool MeatBoy'esque gameplay with a interesting twist(the illusions), lovely pixel art, very fitting music, tight controls. A bit disappointed it didn't have an ending but it's perfectly understandable given the limited time you had. 5/5 game for sure! |
| Dec 24 12:32:00 | 27m 00s | The Eternal Empire | Intriguing game! Interesting take on the theme, the overall scenario is great, the writing is very engaging, and the music fits well with the atmosphere. A had a great experience watching my empire slowly descend into chaos and anarchy, you created the feeling of helplessness perfectly! One complaint that I had, it's that it gets boring after a while and the same options keep popping up, a little more variety will help the game a lot and will keep players engaged for longer. |
| Dec 24 12:40:00 | 8m 00s | Don't Stop Me | Man this game is HARD! The idea of the game is very interesting, the graphics look great and the gameplay is quite fun! Would like to see some upgrades added and the difficulty should be scaled down a bit I think. |
| Dec 24 12:45:00 | 5m 00s | FUNRiDE! | Thanks for bringing me back to the time I used to play Crash Bash with my friends! The concept is great, it looks very well, the sound fits perfectly and the game is fun! I did have some problems with the controls though, they seem unresponsive at times and it kinda kills the vibe, everything else is great! |
| Dec 24 13:06:00 | 21m 00s | DEBOI-OPPAI | Good game! The art is great, the sound as well, hacking mini-game is pretty cool but I did hit some situations where I couldn't type the correct characters and failed because of it, I think it was "scan(x);". The controls are not very sharp think about tightening them up a bit. Great job overall! |
| Dec 24 13:57:00 | 51m 00s | OneLab | Can you out of that room? The graphics look splendid, even stunning i'd say, the game controls well and the shooting seems to be done properly. Tell me if there's more to the game, I'd love to play it! |
| Dec 24 14:28:00 | 31m 00s | DarkLight | This has to be the most interesting game of this LD! The idea is kinda simple, you chase a light in the dark but the symbolism of this concept is so deep and vague that everybody can interpret in a different way, and I LOVE IT! You really nailed the experience, and every aspect of the game is reinforcing, the graphics are great, the music in on point, and the player is sometimes hard to control but this also helps your point. I'd say this is my favorite Compo game of this LD, especially considering it's your first entry, keep it up man! |
| Dec 24 14:56:00 | 28m 00s | CatChaseZero | The cutest game of LD37 :D, it's funny, looks great, sounds great, has great mechanics and it's fun to play! Would like to see some more levels and new level patterns though. |
| Dec 24 15:08:00 | 12m 00s | The Labyrinth Room | A fun top-down shooter! The gameplay is definitely the strong point of this game, graphics are pretty interesting for a compo game, the controls are great, as other people said the music can get on your nerves but it's no biggie. All the things considered the game is great, especially for a first entry, and it's fun to play which is the most important part, great job! |
| Dec 24 15:23:00 | 15m 00s | Roomies | Great game! It looks real clean and minimalist, the sounds also fit very well with the rest of the game, the needs system is very well implemented. You could add a day counter to see how many days I survived, and I also wish I had more control over what's happening in the game, a lot of time I just felt like a spectator instead of actively participating. |
| Dec 26 09:49:00 | 42h 26m | Claustrophobia | Very original idea! The creepy visuals, the strange sound effects paint a vivid picture that fits the mind of a person with mental problems. The game is HARD but i suppose it's a part of the experience and it's supposed to show how helpless this person is and how hard he struggles. In the end I loved the message of the game and it's vibe, keep it up! |
| Dec 26 10:07:00 | 18m 00s | Stalactite Dodge | Great game! The pixel art on the character, the walls and the rocks looks great, would've been great to see the stalactites drawn in that style as well. You might want to make the player movements a bit sharper and quicker, the jump especially feel a bit floaty. Other than that the game is amazing for a first entry and I had fun playing it, thanks! |
| Dec 26 10:29:00 | 22m 00s | Harmless Titan | Great entry! The game looks amazing, the sounds and the music fit well, and the idea of a misunderstood monster is very interesting. I think you know that the game can be improved to something much better and more complete if the gameplay was tweaked and something was added. Bottom line, I love this entry keep it up! |
| Dec 26 10:39:00 | 10m 00s | Oath | Wow! The game looks stunning, it sounds great, the controls are perfect, the movement, the jumping, the attack and the blocking are all very sharp. That being said it feels like the game could've been much more, a couple of platforms would've added some variety and I know it would feel great because you guys have great mechanics for platforming. Ultimately I'm ranting just because I like the game a lot and it could be great if you finish it! |
| Dec 26 10:52:00 | 13m 00s | Open-Plan Office Distractions | I love tycoon/management games, that's why I was excited to check out this game! The idea and the concept is great, the game looks good but the lack of gameplay is a real bummer. A couple interaction options would go a long way, like "click on the employee to scold him when he gets distracted". |
| Dec 27 08:09:00 | 21h 17m | Dragon Defroster | Very enjoyable game! It felt finished from the moment i started which very few compo games manage to do! The controls are very interesting, the pixel art is adorable, and the music is cute a well. 5/5! |
| Dec 27 08:37:00 | 28m 00s | Throne Room of the Merchant King | Interesting entry! You don't see a lot of games focused solely on trading, and it would be nice to see the game polished and finished! That being said the game feels chaotic at the moment, the only indicator that a player has to see if a trade is good or bad is the quantity which is not really ideal. But don't mind my rambling, the game is awesome as a concept, and the fact that you've done everything by yourself makes it even greater, good job! |
| Dec 27 08:46:00 | 9m 00s | Track Talk | Original concept, the game looks great and the soundtrack is awesome as well! Some things you might want to tweak are the constant zooming in and out, it made me feel dizzy I thing a fixed camera would've worked better in this situation. Another thing that could, as other people mentioned already, are healthbars and some feedback on damage dealt and received. Other than that the game is very interesting and fun! |
| Dec 27 08:59:00 | 13m 00s | Tenement Rush | Never tell your relatives you have space for them to stay! :D This is a great compo entry, the game looks great, the sound is awesome, the controls are enjoyable once you get them, I have nothing really negative to say about the game everything is great and it feels finished. Definitely a 5/5! |
| Dec 27 09:19:00 | 20m 00s | Obelisk | Great game! The art is really impressive, everything looks very polished - the character, the enemies, the obelisk the rooms and the particle effects all look great. The gameplay is very fun, slashing enemies is satisfying and the hookshot ability is very well done! The soundtrack is awesome! One thing that I felt wasn't finished was the story, I really wanted to know more about the character, the obelisk and what's going on there. |
| Dec 28 07:57:00 | 22h 38m | Spellbound | You guys made an enjoyable game! The graphics and the audio is impressive, the gameplay is quite fun, the puzzles are interesting and it kept me engaged until the very end of the game. The only thing that I had a problem with is the plot, so the library killed tens of people and turned them into haunting ghosts just because it needed company and the character just says: "Yeah, that's no big deal, I forgive you!", but hey this is a 72 hour game after all. Great job, keep it up guys! |
| Dec 28 08:45:00 | 48m 00s | The File Approach | Very cool idea! The gameplay is very interesting and most importantly the game feels finished, it's polished from all points of view and it's really enjoyable to play, I really can't find any flaw to criticize so it's certainly a 5/5! |
| Dec 28 08:53:00 | 8m 00s | Text Me Later | Whoa, I literally was shocked when i read that you're 13 yo! The pixel art looks great for a compo entry, audio is very original, and the gameplay, although simplistic, is very enjoyable. Keep up the great work, you got a very bright future ahead of you! |
| Dec 28 09:05:00 | 12m 00s | It Wasn't Me | Let me start by saying that the game looks gorgeous, the soundtrack is great(although it stopped playing I think you forgot to loop it in Unity), and the gameplay is very fun, the character controls well, the shooting is fluid and I didn't encounter any bugs all of this is awesome! What the feels like it's lacking are some sound FX, and a real goal because once you get through a couple of waves the fun dies down and I have no reason to play anymore. Other than that I really liked it and would definitely play it if you'll finish it! |
| Dec 28 09:32:00 | 27m 00s | 4/4 Room | Amazing game for a compo entry! It feels so polished I would say it can easily hold it's own against many other finished rogue-like games on the market which totally blows my mind! 5/5 on all categories and i'll definitely follow your entries in the future! |
| Dec 28 15:17:00 | 5h 45m | Extreme Bug Fixer | Very enjoyable game! You took a cool idea and implemented it very well, it looks good, it plays even better, the controls are easy to learn and the player movement is very fluid. Some of the things that could use tweaking are the collisions with enemies, if you get surrounded by bugs bumping into one of them means sure death because they start playing pinball with you until you have no health left, adding invincibility frames would definitely help in this instance. Other than that it's a great game that I enjoyed playing! |
| Dec 28 15:28:00 | 11m 00s | Nightmares | Poor girl, doomed to be devoured by nightmares ;'( <br/>Congrats on your first entry though, your game is great! The art is really impressive for a compo entry, the music fits the vibe perfectly and reinforces it and the gameplay itself is quite fun. Amazing entry for your first compo! |
| Dec 30 17:22:00 | 49h 54m | 20 Seconds to Die | Very interesting concept! The game is very fun in it's current state and it looks very good for a LD game, it would be nice if you could pause the action and reconsider your decisions on the fly like in SuperHot! Also the fact that you have to restart the game every time makes it a bit frustrating in the beginning, other than that it's a great game and I thoroughly enjoyed it! |
| Dec 30 17:42:00 | 20m 00s | Alone | Interesting idea and concept, but the game doesn't really draw me in. It looks good, the sound conveys the feeling of loneliness and isolation which is awesome, but lack of action or some cutscenes or even some monologue kinda bores me instead of making me feel interested. <br/>I'm sure if you had more time you could've shown how the player gradually descends into madness as a result of being placed in this "modern prison" which is really just a big solitary made to drive inmates insane. <br/>Ultimately the idea is fantastic and i'd love to see you keep working on this in the future! |
| Dec 30 18:03:00 | 21m 00s | In One Fell Swoop | This is the most fun experience I've ever had cleaning a room :D ! The game is great, it's fun and draws you in instantly, the graphics are cute, so are the dialogue sounds! The music sets the vibe perfectly which makes the experience even more fun! It deserves a 5/5 in all categories for sure, keep up the great work! |
| Dec 31 13:07:00 | 19h 04m | Xenopunch | Tons of fun packed in one game! You guys really did an amazing job, the game controls very well which makes punching enemies very fluid and pleasant, the art looks amazing and the audio is on-point as well. I really have nothing negative to say about it, a well deserved 5/5 for a great game! BTW are you going to finish it? I would be very interested to play a full version. |
| Dec 31 14:12:00 | 1h 05m | Clue | Very interesting idea for a game! You have done great work in 48H for sure, the concept is very intriguing and the gameplay is fun! The backstories of each character are witty and made me chuckle quite a bit, the art looks really funny as well. <br/>Great job! |
| Dec 31 14:40:00 | 28m 00s | Raidboss | That's a helluva game here! The gameplay was very fun the playing as the big bad boss is definitely refreshing, the soundtrack and sound effects are also awesome and make the atmosphere even more epic (you should activate the sound rating I'd give you a 5 for sure). Visually the game looks very good for a 72 hour game. <br/>Overall I liked the game very much, 5/5! |
| Dec 31 17:02:00 | 2h 22m | Well of Youth | Great game, it's really fun and pretty challenging which makes it even more enjoyable! The graphics are nice and clean, the soundtrack is good, as are the sound FX. Would've liked to see more enemy types and some upgrades, but regardless of that I enjoyed the game, great entry! |
| Dec 31 17:14:00 | 12m 00s | Begging and Gambling | Interesting concept for a game and a great first entry! The art and the soundtrack are really well done! The only aspect where the game falls a bit short is gameplay. The begging minigame is fun, but you have to grind so much that it eventually become a headache to get to 200$ or more. Also when you get the money for gambling you can lose instantly without doing anything, this is where the game takes all the control away and it feels unfair, adding a card minigame would've made it perfect. |
| Jan 2 23:39:00 | 54h 25m | KAROOM! | I had a great time playing it! Super fun, looks cute and the sound is awesome, great entry! |
