| Apr 25 14:47:56 | Protolife | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! Love the soundtrack and the provenance! EDIT: Back for judging. Still love this game. The first time through was a little confusing, but by the end- I feel like this would have been a great gameboy title! I don't say that lightly. ;) | |
| Apr 26 06:00:40 | 15h 12m | Bug Brawl | ♥ 1 | Thanks for the OS X version! Game would crash unless I turned off the post-processing. MacBook Pro mid 2012 Retina 10.12.4 Addicting game and fantastic graphics. Keep going! I love this macro-world! |
| May 3 03:47:29 | 165h 46m | Chill Bill | ♥ 0 | Great art and arcade-y controls. The stress-o-meter kept going up, and up, and up- I couldn't make it long enough to see if I could use the samurai sword. Can't wait to see what you do next. Very polished. |
| May 3 04:23:32 | 36m 03s | Annulus | ♥ 1 | I was a little judge-y at first,(because of the controls) but then I started making choices! Good hook! Next thing you know, I'm searching for a conclusion! Great job! Lost two to the raptors, had a babe, picked some berries, had some feasts, shot lasers and took them apart, found other ones- and then I don't know what the text said, because I must've clicked and it was gone- but I won. I really felt like I won. Very satisfying game. And the music moved me through it all! Great jobber! |
| May 3 04:34:08 | 10m 36s | Spider Royale | ♥ 1 | Wow, this was hard for me. I never won, but had a good time trying! The best results came from jamming on f and j and space, then hoping I didn't get too close to the unraveling edge. The music really adds to the stress! |
| May 3 05:05:03 | 30m 55s | Cosmic Cleaner | ♥ 3 | My favorite part, hands down- the planet faces. For some reason, there was a disconnect for me- where I place the asteroid, where I hit it- something that I didn't experience with AB Space. I don't know what exactly, I'm longing for a more tactile and tension building setup before I fire- probably just conditioning. All in all, very straight-forward and nice polish! |
| May 3 05:13:05 | 8m 02s | Galactic Girl and the Puzzle Planets | ♥ 2 | Gorgeous look. I like the simplicity of the character. It has an almost paper craft feel. Great job! |
| May 3 05:21:23 | 8m 18s | A Rat's Story | ♥ 0 | Great game! Love the concept and fantastic execution. Easy to pick up- would love to see a next gen version with updated graphics and more levels; rat kings, catchers, and laboratories! |
| May 3 06:51:46 | 1h 30m | Flight of Claude | ♥ 1 | Just finished. A well conceived twist on an age old tale. Ren’Py seems to serve you well, but I recommend you play around with Visionaire Studio if you find the time. Great atmosphere, great job! |
| May 3 07:18:05 | 26m 19s | Apophis | ♥ 0 | Love it! Looking at the screenshots- there seem to be amazing planet backdrops. I didn't see any of those- graphical glitch? Or is that just promo art? Seemed like the burning fireball around the asteroid would make more sense with an impending planet in the b-ground. Was streaming through remote desktop from pc to mac. I'll try on the desktop alone and let you know! Great music and feel. |
| May 3 07:34:31 | 16m 26s | Stardust - A space adventure | ♥ 1 | Fun adventure! Great jam! Have you ever used Visionaire Studio? I'd recommend it! I noticed a graphical anomaly when ever the text popped up. Seemed like different text and then the typing animation began- quicker than the eye, but maybe you know what I'm talking about. I grabbed up all the items right away and piled them into my inventory- I never really "searched" for the right item for the job, I already had them- so maybe they could be hidden a little better? Just some thoughts. Great job, and love the art! |
| May 7 17:08:28 | 105h 33m | Teddy The Tardigrade | ♥ 4 | Very easy on the eyes and ears, and very difficult. Great job! |
| May 7 17:18:07 | 9m 39s | Walkabout | ♥ 0 | This is a great little engine for a visual novel! Inspiring! Can't wait to see if you go further with this! After about the third time meeting the other Traveler, I was like- duh. Perfect payoff. |
| May 7 17:34:35 | 16m 28s | My little planet | ♥ 1 | Love all the love you put into this! Great compo. Thanks for letting me play as the chickens! I didn't have the stamina to win- quit after about 10 tries and a bowl of space spaghetti. I'll be back to try again. Looking forward to you taking this further! |
| May 7 17:39:50 | 5m 15s | Micro-World Defense | ♥ 2 | Screen Shot 2017-05-07 at 12.38.05 PM.png You don't have a mac build. I can play on mac, but technically, only remotely off a pc or in a wineskin wrapper. ;) Will try later on Win. |
| May 7 17:47:30 | 7m 40s | Moon Eat Moon | ♥ 0 | Love the music, love the graphics, and love the comments! Reminds me of something built for Vectrex! Very challenging! |
| May 7 17:51:23 | 3m 53s | Myrddin | ♥ 0 | Awesome! Reminds me of Diablo and God of War. Amazing, what you did in so little time! The music is fantastic, driving. With more story, this would feel less repetitive- though it might just need more enemies! |
| May 13 21:52:41 | 148h 01m | Polyville | ♥ 1 | Hi! Was fun snaking through the forest! I went off the rails after I discovered the potion behind the wizard's house. Would love a completion cutscene, reveal of where this little place was. From the corners it seemed like a glass box. Reminded me of the Village, or a Twilight Zone episode. Congratulations! |
| May 13 22:58:08 | 1h 05m | Iceburg | ♥ 2 | Gorgi game! The music reminds me of the third man- on guitar. I found if I tipped the world like this, I could not die- meaning, the level of difficulty was extremely lower, not that I was invincible. Screen Shot 2017-05-13 at 5.48.13 PM.png That was until I paused the game. When I unparsed. My character disappeared. Screen Shot 2017-05-13 at 5.52.37 PM.png But I still couldn't die. Don't know If I was controlling my character, or what, until finally... Screen Shot 2017-05-13 at 5.53.21 PM.png Hope that helps! Good luck and great job! |
| May 14 05:53:55 | 6h 55m | No One's Planet | ♥ 1 | Screen Shot 2017-05-14 at 12.51.55 AM.png Wow! I'm blown away! Way to go. First terminal game I've played in an LD. IMHO- full stars just for that! Played twice. The first time I got lost with a scorpion in my pack. A painless experience the second time. Simple. Fun. And, funny! Great job you two! |
| May 14 06:30:10 | 36m 15s | The Nedludd Club | ♥ 1 | Screen Shot 2017-05-14 at 1.27.04 AM.png Looks like I've still got some work to do! I'll be back for another play through! Great work. Very Agatha Christie meets Neal Stephenson- kinda! Love the mood, retro graphics, and great soundtrack selection! |
| May 14 06:45:55 | 15m 45s | Gaia | ♥ 1 | Gorgeous gameplay. The look and feel really gel. I had a hard time with the controls too. My fingers not coordinated enough to ZXTRShift + WASD. Would love to try this on a controller- because it looks so well in motion and responds so nice. Excellent COMPO entry, though! I'll try again! |
| May 16 03:40:02 | 44h 54m | Unnamed Space Project | ♥ 0 | Hey @devastus! You left me wanting more! (And with a string hatred for those robo-spiders. Just made me want those turrets.) Graphics were awesome and control was fluid. So much scale- I found myself running toward the end of the cliff to see how far I could drop before the game reset! Meta! Great job, just wish I could place turrets! EDIT: For some reason, (Me? WebGl? Mac? Safari? Me?) I could not place a turret on the first play-though, as I read through the comments I saw that people were placing turrets. I revisited and WOW. Felt more finished than you led me to first believe. Really got into it. Brought me back to the arcades. Lost the sense of going for score points and really felt the necessity of scarcity of resource and time. I thought it was a great start before, but can't wait to see where you go with this. Love it! VVV Screen Shot 2017-05-15 at 10.36.11 PM.png |
| May 16 06:00:32 | 2h 20m | Microspace | ♥ 1 | Impressive! For some reason I had an easier time the first go on PC. On Mac, I couldn't get a hang of the controls and kept banging into the walls. EDIT: Steam controller seems to work! EDIT EDIT: Just saw your note about controls! ;) Love the feel of this game. Totally reminds me of Innerspace- the intensity of the red blood cells- the laser, the needle. Great production value! Whole body educational game please?! |
| May 16 06:06:33 | 6m 01s | It's A Small World | ♥ 1 | Wow- that was a great one! I played through twice. The first time, I hung around my wife, the second, I went back around the world and it felt like a new play-through! Subtle! Love what you are doing here! Even the graphical language leads to an "arc." Love it! And compo! Congrats! |
| May 16 06:15:48 | 9m 15s | kumo. | ♥ 1 | Gorgeous tone poem. Made me happy for minutes. 'Til we meet again. |
| May 16 06:34:04 | 18m 16s | WHAT A SMALL WORLD! | ♥ 2 | Totally missed the ending! I kept going over the road and the truck went by above me- was stuck here for a while. Screen Shot 2017-05-16 at 1.28.21 AM.png Watched the vid and got what was supposed to happen. Played on mac, safari- see now the "play windows standalone for best experience" ;D Great job! Love that you had something to say! EDIT: Just saw that this has been noted! Sorry for the repost! |
| May 16 14:07:25 | 7h 33m | Little Remains | ♥ 0 | I mean, this reminds me- especially in art- of Broken Age. Amazing what you accomplished in such little time! Wondering if you used the Adventure Game template for Unity? Can't help but recommend Visionaire Studio- ;D (Though I only use it for 2d and don't know how difficult it really is for 3d characters. Anyway, I was really impressed! It seemed like you focused mostly on one solid puzzle- the pigs, and that was really well done. A good little scavenge! Totally thought the Idol would suggest a third option- taking the Discarded with- played through again to see if I could trigger this. Great job! Hope to revisit this small world again, soon! |
| May 16 20:12:13 | 6h 04m | Flovala | ♥ 2 | This is gorgeous! Love the slipperiness of the controls- felt like being underwater. The twist caught me off guard for a moment, but I loved where it went. One of my favorites from this jam! EDIT: The post jam game updates are awesome! |
| May 16 20:43:57 | 31m 44s | A Perfectly Lovely Expedition | ♥ 1 | Loved this! Not too much exposition, just enough. The digging mechanic is great. Had trouble with the last item, I get it now! Thanks for a great little game! |
| May 16 21:39:48 | 55m 51s | BUTERATOS | ♥ 0 | @buteratosgames Love the art! Is that Spriter? Fun and arcade-y! Great death scenes! @mmason @mathijsvissers @listonos Hey you guys, check out the rules, no?! ;D https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules "You’re free to use any tools or libraries to create your game.

| May 16 21:44:51 | 5m 03s | Tiny Buckler | ♥ 0 | I loved this. The gameplay was just rough enough to go with the art- which has a great style. Concept and execution are spot on and the random level generation kept me playing. Congrats! |
| May 16 21:54:19 | 9m 28s | A Mind Is A Small Place | ♥ 1 | @juju-adams This was unbelievable! Fantastic use of visuals and motifs. The sounds and visuals are fantastic! The gameplay itself, though intentionally simplistic, is so tight! Everything gels from your intro screen to the title, to the first sound of that pink exit. One of the best of the jam, in my opinion. Congratulations! |
| May 16 22:22:52 | 28m 33s | small World of Underbury | ♥ 1 | Tried on mac. Failed, as you predicted. I will try again soon on PC! |
| May 17 03:19:59 | 4h 57m | Globe Trot | ♥ 1 | Played this a couple times. You'd never see me again with an instant restart. The last round, I am sitting out back, a huge moth flew into my face as I was spinning around the globe. don't know how you did it, but it made everything that much more real! ;) Srsly, tho- amazing. 48 hrs. You compo folk really inspire. Thanks you! |
| May 17 04:11:28 | 51m 29s | Run the World! | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed this! Love the graphics, sound and gameplay. Took me back to Pole Position on the 7800 (and of course outrun, also cruise'n world.) Played through the world a few times- then, skidded off the road for about and 20 seconds and the screen froze on this- just thought you might wanna know. Screen Shot 2017-05-16 at 11.06.47 PM.png (mac, safari) Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Congrats! |
| May 17 13:13:24 | 9h 01m | War in the Sky | ♥ 1 | Awesome! Can't wait for sounds! Would love to play this like Word's with Friends (or insert better example here) online and somewhat turn based. What are your plans for the future? Thanks and congrats on a great jam game! |
| May 17 13:20:23 | 6m 59s | Slightly Angry Max | ♥ 2 | My only complaint- I want to blow everything up and ride those vehicles! Had fun with this! Great humor- love the long opening crawl. The action can only get better with time! Great job and congratulations! |
| May 17 23:29:58 | 10h 09m | Inter-Tidal Snail Breeder Deluxe | ♥ 1 | Perfect title. Wonderful premise and use of theme. Gorgeous and clever graphics. Thank you for making this game. Congratulations! |
| May 17 23:42:29 | 12m 31s | Barbuglio | ♥ 1 | Wow- I would need a year to go through all of these games! It seems as though so many great games have so few votes! I think this is a great game... Love the feel- reminds me of The Evil Dead. The music and sounds are awesome. So creepy. |
| May 18 02:42:21 | 2h 59m | Picotroid | ♥ 1 | Great sprites and animations. Unforgiving. I found it very difficult, but I loved every second. |
| May 18 03:07:55 | 25m 34s | Retro Rabbit | ♥ 0 | Kinda perfect arcade- more features would make this an addictive mobile game for sure. Fantastic art, sound, and solid controls. Congrats! Screen Shot 2017-05-17 at 10.04.54 PM.png Best I could do! EDIT: Screen Shot 2017-05-17 at 10.20.03 PM.png |
| May 18 03:35:20 | 27m 25s | Outer Reach - LD38 | ♥ 1 | Wow. The scale in the intro is amazing! I aborted on about planet 21. Then read the comments and went back through to 30-31- well, you know. I recommend you check out Visionaire Studio if you haven't had a look. It has a slick dialogue system you might find really useful if you were to try another go at this game type! Congrats on your first jam! |
| May 18 05:38:26 | 2h 03m | Newton's Cannon | ♥ 1 | Love the mini-map. Didn't get it at first, but when I did, it saved my life more than a few times. Def reminds me of the arcade/nes games I grew up with! Also, love the sound! My gf didn't. ;) Screen Shot 2017-05-18 at 12.35.38 AM.png |
| May 18 05:44:20 | 5m 54s | So You Want To Build A Snowman. - (A finished game for all ages) | ♥ 1 | Screen Shot 2017-05-18 at 12.42.37 AM.png This dude is cold. Congrats and thanks! |
| May 18 17:12:47 | 11h 28m | Llama's World | ♥ 2 | For some reason, it took me awhile (2-3 levels) to figure out that the arrows on the ends signified up and over, and to remember- "wait, what- which way does it go again?" (<in my head, sometimes out loud.) Even after I was blasted into submission by about three lasers, I still pulled a few "end arrow." I don't know what to tell you- Maybe it was the music? This phenomena added a level of difficulty that I wonder only now; planned? ;D Anyway- loved the game. Great puzzles. Amazing graphics! Horribly fun and surprising deaths due to llama brain! @winamp for the win! |
| May 20 14:33:39 | 45h 20m | Holo-World! | ♥ 0 | This looks super cool. Would love to see a vid! What was it like developing for holocube? |
| May 20 14:53:11 | 19m 32s | Lines of Hope | ♥ 1 | Congratulations! I will download now and print and play when I get a chance. Love the art and concept! Hope to see more packs like this! (Here is an english translation.) The Lines of Hope Game is a print and play game, played only with cards, tested for 1-2 players. Components: The game has a total of 83 cards 1 bomb threat marker 1 refugee protection marker 4 guards 10 cards of resources 12 cards of crisis 26 cards of refugees, divided into 8 families 24 cards of consequences 4 Agents Of the "Federation" 1 patrolman 4 rescues 24 cards on the consequence deck 57 cards on the main deck (26 refugees + 12 crisis cards + 10 features + 4 policemen + 1 patrolman + 4 rescues.) Game mode: Divide principal decks and consequences; Position the 4 guards in the field randomly, side by side, forming the 4 rows; The game begins with 4 refugees, each placed under a guard, randomly pulled from the main deck; They shuffle the decks; Each player draws three cards. If one is a crisis, it must be returned to the deck, the player shuffles the deck and pulls another card. Repeating this until you have three cards that are not crises; The player (s) must (obligatorily) perform 3 actions in his move. Possible actions are: Pull a card play a card move a card (Both from one queue to another, as you move your position in the queue you are in.) Heal a bruised refugee Pass a family The non-use of all actions implies pulling a consequence. The player always lowers refugees at the end of one of the queues. A refugee needs to be on the range of an appeal. Each feature supports 2 refugees adjacent to the card, up or down. If a refugee runs out of resources this is considered a tense situation. At the end of the turn where a tension is generated, the player must draw a consequence. As at the end of each subsequent shift if the tension is not resolved. At the end of the turn, after the 3 actions are used the player must add cards to his hand from the main deck, in the amount indicated by the danger marker. If this triggers a tension situation, it will be considered as started on the turn of the next move, and will only generate a consequence at the end of his turn. When picking up a crisis card, the player must choose between adding 1 to the danger marker, or pulling a number of consequences equal to that indicated on the danger marker. The drawn crisis cards accumulate in the field, and whenever they form a group of 3, 1 is added to the threat marker. Whenever the threat marker is increased by 1, the row with the most refugees is destroyed (the save card is face down). Her refugees are relocated to the line with fewer refugees. By spending 3 actions, the player manages to repair a destroyed queue. If there is a Federation Agent, or a patrol in line to be destroyed, it can be sacrificed to prevent destruction. Minority Mechanics: If there are refugees from different planets in a row of refugees, there may be a majority of refugees from one planet. In this case a voltage is generated. Except there's a federation agent or a patrol in that line. If the majority and minority relationship happens between refugees from the same alliance, there is no tension. Children do not count do not count to count majority, unless there is an adult of the same planet. When a family is complete, and the first in line, the player may spend an action to move a family to the other side of the border. By doing this the player can move the danger marker back to 1 number, or advance the safety marker to 1 number. Each advancement in the safety marker gives players extra action per turn. Evil refugees can not cross the border. Each guard has some alliance symbols. These guards only pass refugees belonging to that alliance. Except there's a federation agent or a patrol in that line. The defeat conditions are: No more cards to draw at the end of your turn. If a situation requires you to add 1 to the hazard counter, and it is already at 4; You win the game if you pass a family, with the security marker being at 4. |
| May 20 14:57:36 | 4m 25s | Ring Life: The ManaMaker | ♥ 0 | Aw nah! MAC OSX The application cannot be opened. I'll try win later. |
| May 20 15:24:51 | 27m 15s | War of Quiz! | ♥ 1 | Awesome! Love the sound FX. Great job! Reminds me of an old MECC game! EASY Screen Shot 2017-05-20 at 10.11.44 AM.png HARD Screen Shot 2017-05-20 at 10.18.49 AM.png IMPOSSIBLE ;D Screen Shot 2017-05-20 at 10.28.23 AM.png Really loved the alien laser blast sfx! Congratulations! |

| May 20 17:05:50 | 1h 25m | Bureaucratic Deity Simulator 2018 | ♥ 0 | Love the look and the concept. The controls are slick and overall this is a fantastic game. I love how I mindlessly yearn for the next problem to solve! (one part Zen one part Dystopia) Just enough self-reflexivity in the hints. Can't wait to see the next version! Bravo! Screen Shot 2017-05-20 at 11.48.03 AM.png |
| May 20 17:53:35 | 47m 45s | Little Mouse Planet | ♥ 1 | Cool! I picked up all the actions right away. Love this little planet and all of it's details! "I'm a bit tired!" Thanks and congrats! |
| May 20 18:08:09 | 14m 34s | Dung Beetle | ♥ 0 | Cool little game! Reminded me of super monkey ball in some ways. Great graphics and sounds. Unreal! Great job! Would love to see some more animations (easy to say :)) for the beetle, as long as this pose still happens while falling!!! EDIT: Played on mac with keyboard. Screen Shot 2017-05-20 at 1.07.07 PM.png AIIIIIIEEEEEEEEYAAAA! Love this lil stinker! |
| May 20 18:55:59 | 47m 50s | Desktop Adventure | ♥ 0 | Awesome! Sounds and feels like Q-bert to me! Love the simplicity, the gameplay, and the meta take on the concept! ^Love what @moski said! Played on mac safari- had trouble with jumping and the falling platforms seemed to drop before I landed. Got used to it and- Screen Shot 2017-05-20 at 1.52.58 PM.png Thanks for a great little game!!! |
| May 20 19:21:59 | 26m 00s | Daily Routine: the smallest worlds are the ones we get stuck in | ♥ 0 | Wow! Amazing game! I think it's perfect- for me, the lack of music added to the monotony. Clever and powerful. Def one of the best crafted and complete games of the jam. I'll take your advice! Thanks for this experience, and congratulations! Almost there, just gotta buy a new finger splint. Then I'll top 10. Screen Shot 2017-05-20 at 2.16.35 PM.png |
| May 20 20:11:18 | 49m 19s | The Deep | ♥ 0 | Amazing game. At about 800 credits I got docked real bad. Started working toward -credits, wondering if it might all end. No such luck. Finally did it. Regret it. ;D Thank you and congrats! |
| May 21 01:48:47 | 5h 37m | Honey Home | ♥ 2 | Gorgeous! Unique and informative. Best death scene of the jam! Congrats! |
| May 21 01:53:42 | 4m 55s | Space Snake | ♥ 0 | Love this! So simple and eloquent! The scale is intense! |
