| Dec 12 19:19:00 | Amelia | I like the simple combat and stealth aspects a lot and it help this game be more than just a test of skill but I feel like this game would be way better with more than one room so I feel like the theme hindered you more than aided you. of course there is only so much you can do in 48 hrs and the game was still satisfying to play :D | |
| Dec 12 19:35:00 | 16m 00s | Cabin Fever | While this game isn't finished, it was still fun to tear apart the room and play with the physics for as long as I could without dying :D I would also love to have seen the story, but the mood and game play was still evident, and fun |
| Dec 12 19:42:00 | 7m 00s | One Room Repair | hahaha I can imagine this being a cool game about discovering all the hidden things you can do to the room. I'm quite curious as to what the Easter egg is :D but this is a good start to what could be a neat game. |
| Dec 12 19:55:00 | 13m 00s | Nest | This was great fun, It was very challenging for me to wrap my mind around controlling the third screen so I'm so glad you added the auto play feature :) your description sums it up perfectly and I found myself jamming to the rhythm of sounds created by the autoplay which turned out to be surprisingly tuneful. |
| Dec 12 20:20:00 | 25m 00s | The Hunter | The sound was great you had me jump and laughing at myself at the first scare, the audio was great too but I found it very unsettling and had to stop before finding the key. I never touch 3D in GM anymore because of its limitations but you have made them work in your favor! nice work. |
| Dec 12 20:30:00 | 10m 00s | Ascend | The game is ok but could be much better with only minor tweaks. for instance (as others have already stated) the jumping needs work, but other things like how close you have to be to a switch to interact with it and my mouse should be locked to the game window while playing as it kept getting stuck at the edge of my monitor or onto my second monitor. |
| Dec 12 23:16:00 | 2h 46m | The Shifting Room | I love how the solution was never what you expected and the game feels very well polished. nice work :D |
| Dec 12 23:22:00 | 6m 00s | The Ninth Circle | Loved it :) I like the ability to upgrade the weapon too, the graphics are polished and I could easily sit here playing this forever to get the upgrades lol. |
| Dec 13 05:23:00 | 6h 01m | RoomOne | Awesome job! I love the art style and game concept so much. this has to be one of the most interesting games I've come across of yet. Multiple times I found myself with no clue how to move on but that just made it even more compelling. especially since the game goes so much faster when you've done it a couple times. |
| Dec 13 09:59:00 | 4h 36m | Void | While I like the concept, The game was far to difficult for me, and even in the coloured version I still had trouble navigating the level because of the unreliable physics. Was it simply time constraints that prevented you from making a goal or did you want to prank us lol :D |
| Dec 13 11:12:00 | 1h 13m | Haystack Quest | I loved playing this game with the couple people that joined from twitch (in thebrickanator on twitch). The only downside was there was no indication on how to skip the cut scenes which makes it difficult to understand, and it needs a button to start a rematch. but the game play and graphics were perfect! I can see this being a really exceptional game given some play testing :) |
| Dec 13 19:36:00 | 8h 24m | Put It Out | Wow lol this is a cool idea :D reminded me of the extinguisher scene in WALL-E. It seems like a very unsafe fireplace... but the game was a lot of fun. |
| Dec 13 19:43:00 | 7m 00s | The Pit | This looks like a lot of fun once your used to the controls, (I would find it easier with the up or space key as jump) but I'll be sure to come play it again later and try master it because I love the concept and the splash animations are quite satisfying :) |
| Dec 13 20:02:00 | 19m 00s | Chrome Room | Really nice all round. I was a little concerned that passing a level would be too determined by random chance but there was actually a fair amount of problem solving to be had. |
| Dec 13 20:40:00 | 38m 00s | Fear and Freedom | This was a cool story, I did like the challenge of trying to escape with both characters at the end, but I couldn't do it so I just reached the ending with the prisoner but still had fun doing it. I did notice there were a couple small glitches in the graphics but apart from that the game seemed to function well. |
| Dec 13 20:53:00 | 13m 00s | The Living Room Battlescape | This was good fun :D simple but pretty well made. The pixel style was unique and while I don't know if it would be a great choice for a full game release, it works well for Ludum Dare. |
| Dec 13 21:22:00 | 29m 00s | Defeat the Kraken | Was a nice game and you have achieved quite a lot for the 48hr compo. I assume that you interpreted the theme as using only one GameMaker room and simply built an entire game without changing rooms? unfortunately I cant download the game source for some reason to check, but you should probably put it in your description so that people who don't use Gamemaker understand. Otherwise it was a very fun albeit difficult game. |
| Dec 13 21:33:00 | 11m 00s | Temple of Wanrum | Neat game, The pixel art is great! while sound would add so much to this the game play is still really smooth and easy to learn making it fun to keep playing without getting frustrated. |
| Dec 14 21:19:00 | 23h 46m | Fancy Goldfish | The art and animations are top notch! It was hard to tell how I died a couple times but other than that I had a lot of fun playing. |
| Dec 14 21:29:00 | 10m 00s | Panic room | This is a pretty sweet game. I like the pacing. It could be cool to have more variety in how the power ups behave. for instance the flame thrower is very similar to the laser atm, but you could make it catch the enemies on fire which could cause a chain reaction and catch others on fire :D |
| Dec 14 23:47:00 | 2h 18m | Christmas Stack! | This was quite a fun game concept but I do think that it is probably too fast to play strategically and instead you can only try and prevent blocks from getting trapped. It would be a lot of fun if the elf could carry gifts and move blocks that were under other presents :) |
| Dec 15 00:00:00 | 13m 00s | Last Call | This is an amazing entry, I watched you play it on a stream and just decided to play it for myself now, I think perfectly executes the theme, gameplay and humor so well. I also loved the sound design which did a great job at making it immersive. |
| Dec 15 01:26:00 | 1h 26m | Super Crash Box | Neat game, I love the platforming and bouncing mechanics! the explosions and animations were fun, and there was a nice challenge in trying to get to the different parts of the level. Really cool game |
| Dec 15 02:54:00 | 1h 28m | Handle With Care | Absolutely spot on! this had me cracking up at my own clumsiness. in one run I had placed the vase perfectly without hitting a thing only to knock over two relics on my way back to get the next item. The music was great and the character's was hilariously over dramatized. Definitely my favorite LD so far in term of enjoyment. |
| Dec 15 03:09:00 | 15m 00s | Upwards | The game looks great but even in the post jam version it is very difficult to not slide off 1 wide blocks and have to repeat a part over and over.it doesn't seem fair if you have already made the jump. love the dog character though and the games physics mechanics feel really well coded and reliable. |
| Dec 15 17:51:00 | 14h 42m | Sides Adventures | nice game, it was very difficult to control when you had to jump between the computer and the cannon but it was quite fun. the perspective also confused me a little at first but once I was familiar with the game it was a lot of fun. |
| Dec 15 19:00:00 | 1h 09m | Room 007 | This was really fun, I loved the concept and the puzzles were perfectly balanced to be challenging but quick. The art and even the whistling was great. I love the humor behind having weapons stored in such an innocent looking room. |
| Dec 15 19:05:00 | 5m 00s | Homes under the Hammer | This is a perfect use of the theme, Well done! I really enjoyed playing it end listening to the comical sound effects :D |
| Dec 16 22:07:00 | 27h 02m | One Room Hotel | Excelent game, I just upload this video of me playing it: https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=XBEBBc-cfYc (My second time playing it.) Ihe games concept, graphics and gameplay execution really impressed me, I loved the hotel reviews and the characters voices and the hectic gameplay meant that even after playing multiple rounds it was still very challenging and fun. Thanks for recommending it to me :) |
| Dec 16 22:15:00 | 8m 00s | Jim is Moving Out! | This was a very fun and addicting game. The graphics are really all I saw that could have been improved, but my gameplay of it can be found here (its the third game I played): https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=XBEBBc-cfYc It would be cool to see some variations in room size/shape too but I look forward to playing the local multiplayer version. If you let me know when it's released I'd like to try play it again in another episode. Thanks for recommending your game! |
| Dec 16 22:23:00 | 8m 00s | Correct Color | The story in this was great! thanks for recommending me your game. I played it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=XBEBBc-cfYc Unfortunately I only realized after playing that the blue button was shocking the player but it didn't effect the outcome too greatly. I agree that the ending would have been more clear if I had noticed that blue was shocking/killing me but it wasn't necessary to make me question my ability to make decisions for myself. I loved the parallel between the mouse and the player and wish I had talked about it in more depth during the video. Overall I really enjoyed this game and hope I did it justice in the video, thanks for sending it in. |
| Dec 21 22:38:00 | 120h 15m | Hitlers Cactus or only you can stop Trump | Very interesting and its a compelling story ;) It would be nice to receive a little feedback from your actions, so you don't feel like you're just trying random combinations. I do love the sense of humor though :D |
| Jan 3 20:41:00 | 310h 03m | Walkie Talkie | This game is great! congrats on the win in both innovation and overall! |
