May 2 13:30:52 Stable Orbit ♥ 0 Fun minimalist game nicely done. Liked the way the music really helped set the mood. Only wish there was more feedback in what the play is doing and what causes them to fail when reaching distant orbit. Nicely done entry though
May 2 14:06:19 35m 27s Factions ♥ 2 Quite a clever minimalist RTS, enjoyed the audio work also which worked well in giving the whole game a lighter atmosphere. As you've mentioned it was a bit too easy but for a quick jam always better to allow people to play through quickly and see more then get stuck. Also the look was nicely polished and made it enjoyable just to rotate around the planet and check it all out. Nice job.
May 2 14:59:56 53m 37s The Spoiled Prince ♥ 1 Such a well done polished game. Loved the cute graphics and the prince story was a nice gameplay mechanic. Hard to come up with any improvement feedback since it already feels like a complete game with gorgeous graphics and music that compliments it in setting the mood.
May 3 13:54:11 22h 54m Echoes ♥ 1 Such an enjoyable entry. The movement of the bat felt really nice and the echolocation was well done. Liked the progression in difficulty with the puzzles too and just wish there was a bit more ambient music to help set the atmosphere. The art was also great, liked the clean minimalist art style and the simple colours.
May 3 14:10:22 16m 11s The Inner Lock ♥ 1 Took me awhile at the start to figure things out as I couldn't see anything. Once I found myself on the track though and began to see more of the environment I started to understand more of what was going on. Mood was nicely set with the art and music but just wish things were a bit clearer at the beginning.
May 3 14:39:11 28m 49s Cartography ♥ 1 Enjoyed the maze aspect to this and how the title was a big clue on how to approach the game by mapping out your playthrough, nicely done. The art worked well and the design of even the title page made this feel like a polished complete little piece. Impressed what you were able to achieve in such a short time with not much experience in either blender or unity. Would love to do the same one jam and this is definitely inspiration for me to attempt it.
May 4 10:50:06 20h 10m Depth Gun ♥ 0 Clever game, really liked the style and the environment motion was well done. Did have issues with the aiming and wish it could be clearer. Could get over how well the environment rotations were and how they helped create the mood of a fast paced shooter inside an intestine.
May 4 11:01:17 11m 11s Gatherer ♥ 1 I didn't get time to add much content to my entry so I completely understand not finishing this. Like what you've done so far though and think it is a good little prototype and I'd be interested to see where you go from here with it. The digging was really satisfying with the visuals so I think what you have so far is definitely a nice start.
May 4 11:24:43 23m 26s Colonial Kart World ♥ 2 Fun concept. Liked the ships and the gameplay of moving through the waves trying to shoot the other ships. Favourite thing for me was definitely the sky, really loved the painterly look and colours.
May 4 13:12:52 1h 48m Fancy meeting you here ♥ 3 Always enjoy playing your quirky entries and seeing how you interpret the theme. Fun surprise each time. Liked the whole social interactions aspect and the way you had to proceed through these dialogues with individuals while also at times having minigames thrown in to control the way the conversation proceeds. Thought it was quite clever and added an interesting twist with the dialogue. Only real suggestion I have is that the conversation options in the balls could be made clearer to the player. Besides that it was another really interesting entry with sound that worked well in getting the social aspect across. Favourite screen was the mouths at the end. Liked the way they appeared.
May 8 08:39:35 91h 26m The world is (a) flat ♥ 1 Nice text adventure which I'm always a fan of. Did have issues with the navigation controls also but it's nice to see in the post above that you've tweaked it now and made the decisions more obvious, looking good. Also can understand the short puzzle size as Ludum Dare always seems to just fly by for me too. Congrats on finishing though liked the drawings and the way you had to distract the panda was a fun surprise.
May 8 09:07:19 27m 44s AS Mall World ♥ 1 Enjoyed the quirkiness of this one. Thought the visuals and music worked really well in setting the mood and liked how the music definitely reminded me of mall or elevator music, perfect fit. Was pretty satisfying spamming the money although I did think there might have been different endings of when you leave without buying anything to the times you buy everything before leaving.
May 8 09:44:47 37m 28s The Village Helpers ♥ 1 Liked the look of this and thought it worked nicely in giving the whole game a cute look. Do wish there was a bit of feedback with the tools. Favourite bit was how when you paused it should the whole place, nice touch.
May 9 13:14:19 27h 29m AstroGunner ♥ 1 Liked the look of the planet and the way your shots curved around it, was a nice touch. Did have issues at times when I went upside down trying to control the ship and think that could be tweaked a bit but interesting game overall.
May 9 13:37:20 23m 01s Shrink ♥ 2 Enjoyed this little game, liked the way the voice set the mood and gave the gameplay further depth. Thought that was a nice touch. The shrink and mouse puzzles were also well done and I just wish there was a bit more.
May 9 13:47:34 10m 14s Superbugs ♥ 2 Really clever and fun puzzle game. Really enjoyed this one and the challenge of trying to figure out the different levels. Good flashback to art school and colour theory. Could see this also working well on mobile with the touch movements. One of my favourites so far.
May 9 14:06:27 18m 53s ATLANTIS ♥ 3 The mix of visual elements was unique and worked well for this game, liked the whole setup but do wish it had been a bit clearer with the ui and the movement selecting as at times I felt like I was selecting things but was getting no feedback.
May 9 14:19:32 13m 05s Candy Cave Quest ♥ 0 Such a cute entry. Really enjoyed this and definitely one of my favourites so far. The audio dialogue worked well with the music and the puzzles were cleverly done. Liked the double use of the torch with the modification, was a nice touch. Also the ending was a fun surprise especially with the animal reveal.
May 10 09:42:05 19h 22m Set Sails ♥ 1 Enjoyed the whole aesthetics and vibe with the game being played on the globe. Thought that was a great way to present it with the table. Did have issues with the controls like others have mentioned though and just wish things had been clearer on what you're doing and clicking. Music worked really well though in setting a calm mood and the gold on the table accumulating was a nice touch.
May 10 10:15:34 33m 29s SUN GOD ♥ 1 Fun game and liked your take on the theme, different from other interpretations I've seen so far. Liked the humour in the game with the story and thought the graphics and music worked really well in setting a fast panic mode. Some of the best music I've heard so far this Ludum Dare. Would be nice if there had been more variety in the endings depending on how you went but overall a great polished entry.
May 10 10:38:07 22m 33s Landshift ♥ 1 Enjoyed playing this one and liked the challenge of learning how to think like you're meant to. Took me a few turns to get the hang of the pieces and how everything worked but, the great thing is that I did feel like I was learning more and getting better each time. The simple minimalist graphics also worked extremely well. And just like threes I could see this working really well on mobile. Nice polished entry and only think I could wish for was maybe some more variety in pieces as your score increases and maybe a tutorial at the start to guide you a bit.
May 10 11:30:34 52m 27s Planetone ♥ 1 Such a fun little game. Really enjoyed playing around with trying to make music, especially since I've got no music skills and is why my entries always struggle with it. But this made it such a great experience to be able to visualise the sounds and organise them as you go. The whole design was also great with the different colours and plants. Such a polished entry and just wish there was an export option so that I could save the things I made.
