May 2 05:08:14 Meteor Jam ♥ 1 This was a good game. I did not see any negative flaws. I gave all the categories 5 stars except for humor, as it was not exactly very funny. I believe that this game has the potential to be expanded on in the future and be a professional product.
May 5 05:00:59 71h 52m Colorfly ♥ 0 I liked the nice music, the colorful graphics, and the overall mood of the game! However, the game lacked gameplay and wasn't very fun. I recommend expanding on this project and adding more gameplay to the game and adding more challenges and difficulties. Overall, this is still a good game.
May 5 05:23:05 22m 06s What Remains. ♥ 1 The game looks nice! However, please do note that you should create a much better tutorial if you are going to expand this game. I did fully read the how to play instructions but I found it kind of hard to actually know what to do in the game. I got some basic ideas but I am still kind of confused. However, from what I have seen so far, it looks like a good game. I have rated this game with good marks!
May 5 05:39:40 16m 35s In Good Hands ♥ 0 Awesome game! Though I was a little bit confused on what to do at the beginning of the game, I found out and had a blast! Please note: I saw a minor glitch in where a bear was moving jerkily and moving back and forth and shaking. However, the glitch was extremely minor. I deeply like the graphics, music, and the overall mood of this game. The music, however did not repeat smoothly though (it sounded very slightly awkward when the soundtrack was being replayed again. Also, the music didn't have many variations or different themes). This is indeed a great game! Hopefully, you will expand it in the future!
May 5 23:46:39 18h 06m congamoeba: the amoebic friendship simulator ♥ 1 Well, I didn't exactly get what to do in the game. There should be better instructions on how to attract the unhappy amoeba. Also, you should be able to move with arrow keys. Other than that, the sound is good and the graphics are excellent. I like the nice background music, the bright amoeba graphics, and the sound effects including the voice acting.
May 6 00:04:44 18m 05s Sentient Duality ♥ 1 The movement keys for the particle nature need some tweaking. Also, the difficulty should probably be some what easier, as it is hard to know where the purple boxes are in wave form. This requires memory and a long time without checkpoints can frustrate some players greatly. Therefore, you should add checkpoints or make short levels. Also, there should be auto restart. If you are going to expand this game, I also recommend adding some sort of humor(whether its funny sound effects or music) and sounds(cool sound effects and music). Despite these flaws, this game was good. I indeed did have fun. I am surprised about the innovation of this entry and its use of the theme. I liked the alternate dimensions aspect in this game and it reminded me of the theme of Ludum Dare 30, Connected Worlds. I definitely loved the simplicity of the minimalistic graphics, which were colorful. I strongly recommend you to expand this game.
May 6 00:36:23 31m 39s Newton's Cannon ♥ 3 Very good game! You should add the how to play directions on the compo description too though, rather than just the website with the game. I got confused about what the controls were until I found the controls on the bottom of the website. You should also be able to move with the arrow keys. This game definitely should be expanded in the future. It has the potential to be a successful game. You should add some catchy music and some power ups and a better main menu screen. Also, when you die, you should not be able to rotate the world and enemies should not be able to continuously spawn and get destroyed by bullets. It will look better if the time was frozen. I liked the "radar" function on the upper left side of the screen which shows where you are and your bullets are. However, I did not realize its function until later on in the game (I actually thought that the "radar" was a separate planet). You should make the "radar"'s function clear from the start of the game. You should also add enemy locations in the radar. Also, I got some bullet issues where the bullets exploded as soon as they were fired, without even hitting robots. Next, there was a glitch in where a robot fell on the floor and was moving. Also, I think the "hearts" in the UI will look better if the inside was fully shaded with the 'pink' color. This game was very good. I definitely had some fun. I liked the innovation of the "your own bullets can hit you" mechanic. I liked this game's usage of the theme and the rotating world mechanic. The graphics were alright, but nothing very special or catchy. I liked the game's sound effects but there should be some catchy music. There wasn't much humor in this game though. To make it funny, you could make funny looking graphics, but not bad-looking graphics, and maybe funny sound effects or even funny music! Finally, the mood section in this game is pretty good. In conclusion, this game is awesome!
May 7 02:27:34 25h 51m Just You And Your Porch ♥ 2 This game was good. I liked the simple graphics and lighting and the innovation behind this game. The idea behind the game is pretty funny and I admit, I hate flies. Also, the sound effects were kind of funny. The gameplay mechanics were simple but fun. In expanding this game, you can make animations and add more sound effects for each kind of action (such as drinking) and randomly select from one of the sound effects so that there is variation (so that each sip of drinking tea does not sound exactly the same). This technique can be used for realism. Good job making this game!
May 7 03:05:51 38m 17s Tiny Worlds in Flasks ♥ 0 I love the calmness of the game! I however wish that the stuff that is planted in the game was smaller so you could plant more stuff in the toys. Also, the background color mechanic was kind of useless. I liked the use of the theme and how you used innovation to make a small world into a toy that has the small world. I also think the art is awesome. Great job!
May 7 03:26:54 21m 03s Sucker Munch ♥ 0 This game was good! I however did not understand what absorbing enemies to mutate button (space) actually did. I loved the difficulty of this game and the challenge. I think the fonts should be changed for readability, like others said in the comments. I however like that this game doesn't uses a health bar and shows in a ratio how much health you have as it somehow for me makes it more meaningful in knowing how much health I have. The music and sound effects were also spectacular. Great job making this game!
May 7 22:28:20 19h 01m Ant Runner ♥ 0 I think you should make the water more "flashy" or something because sometimes I touch the water and don't even realize it. Also, you should have a better "background" rather than just a color. Also, you should make the death sound effects less "sad" because I feel guilty when I kill grasshoppers or when my ant dies :) . Other than that, this is a very good game and I certainly loved the graphics, isometric infinite runner gameplay, and stylish music!
May 7 23:00:01 31m 41s Planet Mort-E on the dip space ♥ 0 Where is the link? Nobody will be able to play and rate your game without the link.
May 7 23:15:14 15m 13s Postbud ♥ 0 Well, this game needs polishing because I can see through stuff and I easily get stuck in places. I also did not get exactly what to do. I kept throwing mails around mail boxes and didn't understand the UI on the top left corner. Even though the bicycle didn't look too fancy, I loved the art of the game and liked exploring around but it didn't make sense for the bicycle to ride under water. I also loved the music as it fit the mood of the game and was very calming. Finally, though I had no idea of what to do in the game, I enjoyed adventuring around but had to reload the page many times because I got stuck in many places.
May 8 01:23:06 2h 07m Social Anxiety Shopping ♥ 0 You are missing a link to your game. Put up a link, otherwise nobody will be able to play and rate your game.
May 8 01:33:24 10m 18s Cosmic Identity Crisis ♥ 1 This game is pretty difficult. You should make it kind of easier. Also, you should add some sort of tutorial because I got confused on what to do at the beginning of the game. Also, I think the graphics will be better if it was smooth shaded rather than flat shaded (this especially comes true when it comes to looking at Saturn). The sound effects don't fit in with the mood of the game as they are used in pixelated games. You should change them into realistic sound effects. Other than that, good work! I especially liked that Pluto had a personality, that concept was kind of funny!
May 11 02:28:33 72h 55m The Dwarf Planet ♥ 0 You should add a better tutorial because I didn't understand what to do. Also, you should add a skybox, even if it is a plain color skybox like in my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/block-destroyer . Also, you should change the main character to be something else other than just a plain sphere. Also, you should add better design for the UI. Other than that, it was kind of fun to wander around the planet similar to Super Mario Galaxy.
May 11 02:46:24 17m 51s SMALCODED: A Small Eco-Destroyed World ♥ 0 First of all, people should just be able to run as default instead of holding a key to run. Second of all, the graphics need to be improved. Third of all, the glitch of the sound not working in the Web version has to be fixed (also, you do not have to opt out of sound for the use of content generators, please see special exemptions for Compo in this link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules). Fourth of all, there should be a proper tutorial to describe what players should do. Finally, the game should have some sort of challenge in the game, it was kind of boring.
May 11 03:06:15 19m 51s A View from Above ♥ 1 I like the uniqueness of this game (I think you invented a new genre!) and its awesome use of the theme. Also, the graphics were okay, but I guess a fancy font could be added in the future ( also note, Earth does NOT look like that planet in your game, there are only seven continents on Earth). I also liked the hilarious narrator (I especially liked his deep voice). One concept I didn't like about the game was that there was no checkpoints and you frequently had to restart the game. In conclusion, this was a good game and I especially liked its simple but elegant style.
May 11 05:23:47 2h 17m Invasion ♥ 1 I think a health bar should be added to the planet, as I had no clue when I was going to die. Also, another thing is that there should be some explanation of what the powerups do, as I had some slight confusion (what did damage do if all your hits were one hit kills and what is energy charge rate?). I did however like that the core mechanic of the game was focused on and that the game was simple but elegant and polished. I also loved the art of the game(especially the background) and how this affected the mood. Also, the music was very nice sounding and gave the mood a creepy feeling.
May 12 22:41:37 41h 17m Bedroom Fishing ♥ 2 The title is spelled wrong. Also, you should make a browser version as I don't want to download the game.
May 12 22:57:56 16m 19s The Room ♥ 0 The game is good! However I think that there is still some more room for improvement. 1. The look around controls were a bit strange. Have arrow keys be used for look around. 2. When interacting with an object, text generated way too slowly and played a sound effect that started to kind of annoy me. EDIT: For some reason, my comment is glitching and making this look like a sample of code. I don't know why it is doing this.
May 13 02:01:29 3h 03m Design Space ♥ 0 This probably might be a fun game, but the directions of how to play are very unclear. Also, the graphics are bad and it took me a long time to find the person. The game could also have a sound track and better sound effects. Overall, I think this might be a fun game, but I don't know because I can't play due to lack of instructions.
May 13 02:08:42 7m 13s Bacteria colony ♥ 1 There needs to be a better tutorial in the game. Also, the graphics are not that great. Other than that, I thought the game was okay. It had a lot of humor and a unique concept.
May 13 02:41:04 32m 22s Glop Plots ♥ 1 Awesome sweet game! It would be better if there was a better UI (better looking buttons and usage of icons to indicate what the buttons will do) and a stylish font. Other than that, the game is extremely good. I like its simplicity and elegance!
May 13 20:04:16 17h 23m Conquer Earth ♥ 1 Very good game! However, I think in the future, you should definitely add a tutorial to avoid confusion. Other than that, I can think of no other flaws. Nice music and sound effects, fine graphics, and exciting game play! How did you make the game in 72 hours?
