| Apr 24 16:14:18 | TARJECTORIES | ♥ 0 | ** Things I noticed: ** * I had to run it as administrator. * The hitboxes for the targets seem weird. Sometimes I thought I definitely hit it, but it didn't register a hit. Other times, I thought I definitely missed, but it registered a hit. All in all, the game is fun. I wish there was more variety in the levels. Like enemies that take shots at you, or moving targets. Perhaps there are, but by level 7 I hadn't seen anything different. The sound effects were good too. Also, why is it called "Tarjectories"? | |
| Apr 25 00:12:47 | 7h 58m | clover fields | ♥ 2 | I love it. I used to do this kind of thing with age of empires. Just letting the computer armies fight it out. |
| Apr 26 00:58:38 | 24h 45m | Recoil Assault | ♥ 1 | Wow! That is hard to get the hang of. Pretty interesting! By the way, the WebGL worked fine for me, no FPS drops. |
| Apr 26 01:07:44 | 9m 06s | Destruction Zone | ♥ 2 | A lot of fun. I also like the shrinking stage. I agree with @xxDOOMbox that a larger variety of enemy types would be great. After all, most of the enemies can easily be dispatched by simply putting your cursor over them. The game only becomes difficult when the shooters appear, before then you don't have to move at all except to pick up powerups. |
| Apr 26 14:36:42 | 13h 28m | Space Travel 15 | ♥ 1 | Outside of improving the UI, the game is fantastic. It is pretty stressful, but it helped that the game paused when you were at an airport. That way it becomes somewhat like a puzzle for determining the shortest route to get the passengers to their destinations. Great job! |
| Apr 26 15:01:23 | 24m 41s | Diminishing Lands | ♥ 3 | Nice game! Everything works together well. Wall jumping felt good, especially when the block you needed to wall jump off of was about to disappear. I only wish there were more content. Perhaps hazards to avoid or enemies or something. |
| Apr 26 15:08:24 | 7m 01s | Slightly Angry Max | ♥ 2 | Tons of fun! I wish the character moved a little faster relative to the stationary objects. You could make the enemies move faster to compensate for the difficulty change. When I saw some of the stationary objects I got excited, thinking there would be some vehicles or exploding barrels. I guess I kind of forgot that it was a LD game. |
| Apr 26 15:48:58 | 40m 34s | Johi Farm | ♥ 3 | This is such a cute game. I love the art and the music. When I saw that this was another growing a plant game, of which I've seen dozens in LD, I thought it would just be the same. However, the cuteness and difficulty were overwhelming. Great job! |
| Apr 26 17:10:14 | 1h 21m | Orbital Shoots! | ♥ 1 | Nice simple game. I like that the gun is on a different planet than the target and that there is another planet moving around as well. It looks like you can't shoot when the gun is pointing, for example, in the opposite direction of the sun. This seems a little weird, since given the gravity some shots could still hit. Maybe it was just a bug. |
| Apr 26 17:13:50 | 3m 36s | Nanoground | ♥ 2 | It is well made for only 6-7 hours. The ants fall from the sky pretty fast, and given their size, this means the player can die in what feels like an unfair way. Maybe slow them down or add someway to move faster left and right. |
| Apr 26 17:17:26 | 3m 36s | Odd Ball | ♥ 1 | Nice fun game. A leaderboard would be nice. And like @dusted said, it is sometimes hard to notice when you failed. Even just adding a simple sound would be good to let the player know. That way you don't break up the playing. |
| Apr 26 20:53:46 | 3h 36m | A Small World After All | ♥ 2 | I like the idea and can definitely understand the feeling of trying to avoid people in the grocery store. I also love the title and use of the theme! It is, however, very difficult to control the character, which makes the game annoyingly difficult. If you fix the movement, then I think the game would be a lot of fun. |
| Apr 26 21:04:44 | 10m 58s | Wake Up ! | ♥ 2 | As you are going to hear throughout the reviewing process. This game is beautiful! Both the visuals and audio. The controls felt clunky and slow, especially jumping. It also took me a bit to realize that you could move left. I kept pressing 'A' before I got the dream catcher, and it didn't do anything. After getting the dream catcher I realized to use the arrow keys. Anyway, Great entry! |
| Apr 26 21:16:31 | 11m 47s | Size Matters | ♥ 2 | I like the underlying mechanic. If you kept the objects from the different sizes on the screen, like the tank is still there but you go under it, then it would kind of feel like Katamari, when you go from bumping into things to running over them. I don't know if I clicked something or pressed something, but the tutorial disappeared almost instantly after it appeared. |
| Apr 27 00:06:58 | 2h 50m | Afterbirth | ♥ 1 | Wow! That was something. The art and music were both great, and the game is hilarious. When the game started I thought you would have to fight off bugs and stuff. I wasn't expecting the doctor. Jumping seemed a little pointless, since it was easy enough to just stand and wait for the hands. Perhaps you could expand the game to include things to jump or climb on. |
| Apr 27 00:16:37 | 9m 39s | Polar Protector | ♥ 0 | I love it! The game plays great and sounds great. It is super stressful trying to manage both sides of the planet. Having to absorb the elements is a fantastic idea. Nice entry! |
| Apr 27 00:24:16 | 7m 39s | Den | ♥ 6 | Great entry! Every detail is well-made, down to the screams and blood of the workers. The controls feel a little weird. Perhaps you could offer both the mouse controls and another option. |
| Apr 27 00:50:24 | 26m 08s | Cat Ed | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun and cute. I like the small details like the speech bubble when you fall. Of course, more varied gameplay would be nice. 😺 |
| Apr 27 17:08:03 | 16h 17m | WHAT A SMALL WORLD! | ♥ 5 | Haha! Very funny ending. I love the idea of the world getting bigger as the player does things other than play video games in his room. The art and music are also great. Though I like the ending, I wish I could see more of what he discovers. |
| Apr 27 21:05:35 | 3h 57m | Shrinking Space | ♥ 1 | This is a great entry. It plays really well, and it the right level of difficulty. Of course, a little sound would go a long way in bringing the game together. |
| Apr 27 21:30:35 | 25m 00s | Tomorrow or When the world is not bigger than a house | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea for the theme. A little depressing, but perhaps in a motivating way. I like the music and visuals a lot. I definitely think that you should expand this with more things that happen, especially to the character's psyche as he continues through the pointless days. |
| Apr 27 21:51:14 | 20m 39s | Come on, barbarian! | ♥ 4 | Really interesting idea. Nice use of the theme. Just like QWOP, I don't think I could ever get the hang of the mechanics, though. |
| Apr 28 13:03:13 | 15h 11m | Finitely Big | ♥ 1 | A little absurdism and cartesian philosophy, I see. 😁 It was an interesting little game. Pretty good for six hours. Since the embed size was so small, I kept thinking of it being played on a handheld device and making some kid cry. Obviously, it would be nice if there were more things to do than just read the text and move around. Perhaps including pointless tasks he can do on the planet before it explodes. It shouldn't affect the meaninglessness of his life, since all life is meaningless. 😄 |
| Apr 28 13:30:39 | 27m 26s | EAT | ♥ 3 | Great game! The art and sound are fantastic, especially the explosions. It feels really satisfying to destroy a group of ships. My only complaint is the ships that shoot the long laser beams from off screen. They seem incredibly difficult to dodge. Even when I thought I was outside of the beam, it still hit me. Perhaps make it so they can't move where the beam will be after a certain point. |
| Apr 29 13:47:11 | 24h 16m | Rise of the Termites | ♥ 1 | This was a great game. The art and music of course need polishing, but that is to be expected given the complexity of the game. I found the tutorial less than obvious. It was clear that I should click on the spots that had shovel icons, but it wasn't clear that I should click on the rooms already dug to change them into other things. This would make a cool rts. Build up your colony and send your soldiers out to protect your own colony and attack other colonies. |
| Apr 29 20:12:09 | 6h 24m | Pixel Town | ♥ 3 | Great game. I love LD entries like this, since they keep me playing for a little bit longer. I liked it a lot, especially the difficulty of fitting everything into a small space. The music was also good. The game definitely needs more/ more visible information. Things like building costs and more visible indications for why something can't be built. I know that there is some text at the bottom explaining why, but when I first started playing I didn't immediately realize why my clicking had no effect. You could even add some sound to indicate a failure to build something. |
| Apr 29 21:59:07 | 1h 46m | Protect | ♥ 1 | In terms of fun, you can't really go wrong with a rhythm game. I like the minimalist design as well. The music is good and the blocks line up well with it. I really suck at rhythm games, so your easy felt hard to me. 😁 As for gripes, I don't see how it fits with the theme, and it doesn't seem especially innovative. Since the name is "Protect" I expected something more than just a slightly different way of thinking about failures at hitting the beats. The one idea that this game made me think of is a rhythm based tower defense. I don't know how that would work, but its just an idea inspired by your game. |
| Apr 30 01:36:35 | 3h 37m | E.(a)T. | ♥ 1 | That was a ton of fun! I love the art and sound. It is very satisfying to kick the aliens around the planet. The only thing that would make it better is more of itself. Different aliens, food, or hazards, to add some variety. Of course, as it is now it is a nice tight package. |
| May 1 03:48:17 | 26h 11m | MITOA | ♥ 2 | The art and music a good. And the puzzle design is nice, though completing it was kind of a pain. I would definitely play more levels. I wasn't entirely sure how it tied into the theme. |
| May 1 03:54:32 | 6m 15s | Sling Ship 🌏 | ♥ 3 | Great idea, and a fun little game. The difficulty on the second level already was pretty high. It takes a little while to get used to the mechanics, like when to release to go in your intended direction. So, some more easy levels to start with would be great. Even the first level is a little too difficult for someone just starting with the game. I'll definitely be coming back to try again at some of the levels. Nice entry! |
| May 1 11:40:20 | 7h 45m | The Little World | ♥ 0 | Pretty fun. Once it gets difficult it becomes pretty fun trying to make decisions quickly about what to take care of as the planet rotates. Perhaps the difficulty could ramp up a little faster. Even around 15 days I didn't have any trouble. Perhaps add some kind of notification near the top of the screen for what day it is. |
| May 1 12:13:47 | 33m 27s | SittingDucks | ♥ 1 | Certainly and interesting game. Some instructions in the game itself would be nice. It took me a bit to realize how to destroy the asteroids. I also feel that the difficulty ramps up a little too fast. All of a sudden you are inundated by tons of asteroids. |
| May 1 12:24:19 | 10m 32s | Infecteria | ♥ 2 | Great game! The music and art are both great. I like the mechanic of moving the right stick to go faster. I think this game would be great if it were expanded into something dealing with the whole immune system. Like starting out on the level of infecting cells in one part of the body, and move to infecting cells throughout the body. |
| May 1 14:45:52 | 2h 21m | Naarrow | ♥ 1 | Wow, I'm glad I kept playing. Perhaps give some indication that something will change, since you might lose some players. I love the mechanics and the gathering of skills by exploring the rooms. Sometimes I got stuck on a corner while trying to climb up a wall. It made it kind of frustrating trying to get up to some areas. I guess that is part of the name though, huh? 😁 |
| May 1 16:43:33 | 1h 57m | Eine Kleine Insektmusik | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea. I imagine that it would be hard to predict which ones were going to move far enough ahead of time when many of them are moving. I found, however, that for some of the songs I only had to move once or twice to stay alive for the whole song. So, you either need songs that will force the player to move often or some incentive, like extra points, to move. |
| May 1 16:55:28 | 11m 55s | Stable Orbit | ♥ 1 | That was fun. I wish there was more. Like multiple levels with obstacles making it harder to get into a stable orbit. My own game includes a level where you have to get into orbit (though it is made really easy in my game). I was wondering if other people would do something similar. I would definitely play more of this, since there is something really satisfying about getting into orbit, especially the way it is presented here. |
| May 1 17:56:37 | 1h 01m | Smalltrek | ♥ 1 | One of the best LD entries I've seen. The puzzles are difficult and fun. The art and sound are cute. I would definitely play more of this in the future. |
| May 1 21:03:14 | 3h 06m | The Epic Quest For The Mighty Croissant | ♥ 0 | Beautiful game! 🏔 The voxel art with the lighting and classical music makes for a great experience. The controls, however, need a lot of improvement. A they are, the gameplay consists of running at the enemy swinging your sword and taking damage. It is also a little difficult to navigate around the level. I found myself bumping into corners as I tried to go through the little passageways. |
| May 2 01:23:17 | 4h 20m | Tiny Battle World | ♥ 1 | Unfortunately stuck waiting for players. It looks and sounds amazing, though. |
| May 2 01:33:28 | 10m 11s | A Perfectly Lovely Expedition | ♥ 4 | Interesting little game. I like how the day/night cycle works with the torch and the burning tree. Unlike some games like this, I was able to figure out what most of the stuff was meant to do. Small graphical bug: the light circle goes behind the house while the player goes in front. |
| May 2 01:39:09 | 5m 41s | A Lighthouse Story | ♥ 1 | I loved everything about this game. The art, the sound, the one action per day. Everything! I was super surprised at the end. Didn't expect that ending. I would love to see more of this. |
| May 2 11:42:48 | 10h 03m | A Growing Adventure | ♥ 1 | I like this game a lot. I'm definitely planning on coming back to it and finishing it. The art is great, but the sound could use some work. Obviously animations would also be good. As for the gameplay, I love that opening up new areas costs health. Though, as other people have mentioned, it causes backtracking. I think the mechanic is interesting, so maybe try to find a way to improve it. The game is a little slow, especially with the way combat works. If you expand it, perhaps change the combat system to give the player a little more agency. This is a great entry! |
| May 2 12:25:21 | 42m 33s | Little Eco Planet | ♥ 1 | Good game. The variety of different animals provides a lot of content for the game. The puzzles are also well-designed. Definitely separate the tutorial. Put the tutorial for each animal in the level prior to their first real appearance. |
| May 2 14:06:40 | 1h 41m | Colorfly | ♥ 1 | Very nice atmospheric game. Everything looks and sounds beautiful. The gameplay, while simple, is enjoyable enough. Enough at least to warrant enjoying more of the atmosphere. |
| May 2 15:16:22 | 1h 09m | littleBLASTplanet | ♥ 2 | The little pixel graphics are great and the game plays well. I like the variety of enemies and obstacles. As well as the self-destructing planets. The bullets not being attracted to the planet is kind of a pain, since you have to be right next to the enemies on the ground to hit them. Also, it is pretty hard to predict where the ground enemies will fall. |
| May 2 18:31:04 | 3h 14m | This is my spot | ♥ 4 | Even though there isn't much to the gameplay, I couldn't stop smiling from the characters and the music. It was a little hard telling whether I would hit someone with my kick. Maybe make some more mini games using these character designs. |
| May 2 18:38:14 | 7m 10s | Powerless | ♥ 1 | Its a really cute game. The art is good, especially the mixture of 2d and 3d. The music was a little repetitive. The gameplay is the main thing I had a problem with. While the puzzle was not especially difficult, it is the kind of annoying puzzle where you can't really plan much out. After all, you can't see the whole planet. In addition, the controls were difficult to get the hang of. It's a good LD entry. |
| May 2 18:44:19 | 6m 05s | Super Snowman Spider Showdown Supreme | ♥ 1 | Wow, that is a great entry! The art was fantastic. The music gave an unnerving feeling, which matched perfectly with the stress of spiders attacking, especially when you only see their shadows at first. Everything is well crafted down to the smallest details. While I liked the feeling I got from the music, it did feel a little repetitive. Great job! |
| May 2 18:50:41 | 6m 22s | The Cookie Knight | ♥ 0 | Great job creating so many expansive levels. The game works well overall. The art is okay for an LD, and it works well for its purposes. The lack of checkpoints is the biggest problem. When I've climbed all the way up really high and miss one jump only to fall back to the beginning of the level, I lose the motivation to climb back up. |
| May 2 18:58:17 | 7m 36s | Ruler of Survival | ♥ 1 | The tutorial is a beast. Overall the game is pretty interesting. Though the controls are a little weird it doesn't take too long to get used to them. The graphics are pretty cute. I like the mixture of 2d and 3d. |
| May 2 19:04:33 | 6m 16s | The Z Axis | ♥ 1 | I love this game! It first reminded me of The Bridge (a puzzle game available on steam). Then I saw portals and I liked it even more. The level design is great. The difficulty progression in what I've seen so far is fantastic. I'm definitely going to come back to this one. |
| May 2 23:55:08 | 4h 50m | House Escape | ♥ 1 | It is a nice little game. Would love to see more, since I thought the art was really nice. |
