| May 1 15:45:21 | Planet Heist | ♥ 2 | This was great. The turn based movement made it feel almost like a stealthy roguelike! I wish the difficulty curve was a bit smoother, but hey, jam game. I made it to stage 3. Is there any way to predict the movement of enemies, or am I missing something? | |
| May 1 15:52:55 | 7m 34s | Carefulzilla | ♥ 1 | Good lord that was hilarious. Reminded me of Bennet Foddy's games (QWOP, GIRP, etc) but less grueling. I was laughing out loud alone in my apartment the whole time. Best game I've played yet, excellent use of the theme too |
| May 1 16:25:51 | 32m 56s | Aliens vs Rng | ♥ 2 | This was cool. Graphics remind me of Kurzgesagt videos. Very nice narrative delivery with how hard it is to win. Good work! |
| May 1 16:47:52 | 22m 01s | Planet Desumaton | ♥ 3 | Hey this is fun! Great style and a neat mechanic. I wish there was more of an indication of the player's health other than the expression of the planet, it's pretty hard to tell how well you're doing. Neat game! |
| May 1 17:13:35 | 25m 43s | Brainstorm 38 | ♥ 2 | This was great! I love the art style and metatextual games like this are pretty rare in LD. nice work |
| May 1 17:35:24 | 21m 49s | The Boy and The Giant | ♥ 1 | Great game! Love the overworld view, very neat concept. Excellent atmosphere and music too |
| May 1 17:37:53 | 2m 29s | Miskro | ♥ 1 | Awesome style and level design |
| May 1 17:41:30 | 3m 37s | Bantam! | ♥ 1 | Bantam! |
| May 2 00:50:31 | 7h 09m | Solar Smash | ♥ 0 | This is really fun and satisfying to play! I do wish there was a score attack mode instead of the timed mode. That way I could smash planets all day |
| May 2 05:03:17 | 4h 12m | Tiny Worlds in Flasks | ♥ 0 | Hey, came here from the [waypoint feature](https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/become-a-tiny-world-building-god-in-this-game?utm_source=wptwitterus) you got! Awesome toy you have here, very cathartic and enjoyable :) |
| May 2 22:12:24 | 17h 09m | Slightly Angry Max | ♥ 2 | Fun game! I got up to about 920 score but I couldn't beat the boss. I like the overheat mechanic instead of reloading, but I wish there was more of a indication that I was about to overheat in-game instead of just relying on the bar which is a bit hard to divert attention to. Awesome art style as well! |
| May 2 22:19:24 | 7m 00s | Down the Rabbit Hole | ♥ 4 | Fun game. I really like hex tactics game like this. The card system is very cool, but once you understand how the game works it's pretty easy to not make any mistakes |
| May 2 22:34:20 | 14m 56s | Mind The Gap (First Ludum Dare) | ♥ 1 | Cool concept, but it was really hard to figure out how to play, and the aiming controls seem to rotate the player character left or right instead of pointing him at the cursor's world space position. Really neat concept though, keep working on it! |
| May 2 22:38:09 | 3m 49s | Paisley Princess | ♥ 2 | Awesome, very charming game. I love all the hidden secrets, and the purity of the mechanics |
| May 2 22:39:31 | 1m 22s | Plonat Atek | ♥ 1 | This is insanely cool, I've been watching on Twitter for a little while. I just want you to know you've inspired me to make an oscilloscope emulator in Unity |
| May 2 22:43:18 | 3m 47s | Depth Gun | ♥ 0 | This is great! I love the camera rotation tricks, and the soundtrack is really fun too. |
| May 3 14:06:50 | 15h 23m | Wake Up ! | ♥ 2 | What a charming game! Excellent visual and auditory direction, very nice. Unfortunately, the style of this game was largely dimmed for me by the platforming, which is clunky and frustrating to use, and makes the more execution-based puzzles (like the one where you have to jump onto a bridge to get a crate) very tedious. I got stuck at a gate near what looked like an alarm clock pickup. Would like to see you guys branch out from switch-based puzzles, as there are a LOT of puzzle platformers that use a binary world mechanic like this. Great game, keep working on it! |
| May 3 14:19:02 | 12m 12s | RASHLANDER | ♥ 1 | Neat game! I beat two areas (It is super hard! Maybe ease up on the ship's rotation smoothing?) . I like the visual style a lot, I just wish there was more opportunity to see those sweet computationally rendered fx other than dying. If you keep working on it, consider adding an additional mechanic other than map navigation. At least in my case it seems like once you get good at navigating after the first area or so, the only hard part of the game is landing the ship, which ultimately ends up making navigating tedious. I like that obstacles have gravity and can pull you in, maybe add an effect that communicates that, like distortion/lensing or something? Also, how are you doing that explosion effect? Z-buffer abuse with a mask? |
| May 3 16:50:28 | 2h 31m | Walkabout | ♥ 1 | Really interesting take on a walking simulator. Love the minimalism. Please keep working on this! |
| May 5 04:00:16 | 35h 09m | kumo. | ♥ 2 | Really cool little toy! I like the flower sounds :) |
| May 5 04:05:19 | 5m 03s | SurviBall | ♥ 2 | Awesome game! I like the low poly art style and the spin effect with the motion blur is nice. Unfortunately, I found a bit cryptic - there's really no way to get better at the game other than trial and error, and once you do figure it out it's pretty easy to survive indefinitely |
| May 5 04:24:03 | 18m 44s | The Adventure of Malvin | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! I played the whole thing, love the ending. It has really really good pacing/difficulty curve! I also really liked the platforming controls once I got the hang of them. If you keep working on it, maybe try making the wall jump a bit stickier (think Super Meat Boy), as it's a bit difficult to get the timing down at first. |
| May 5 15:59:33 | 11h 35m | Abaddon | ♥ 0 | Someone likes Devil Daggers ;) fun entry! If you keep working on it, try smoothing out the WASD movement, it's a bit sticky atm |
| May 5 22:43:34 | 6h 44m | iii | ♥ 1 | Wow what a great entry! I love the style you have here. Please keep developing this! The only constructive criticism I have is the platforming could use a little tuning, especially with the jump. Amazing entry! |
| May 5 22:49:51 | 6m 17s | Flat Earths! | ♥ 4 | Awesome multiplayer game! Really dig the art style |
| May 5 22:57:45 | 7m 54s | Daydreaming Island | ♥ 1 | amazing soundtrack! can I download it anywhere? |
| May 6 00:22:26 | 1h 24m | Dungeon In a Bottle | ♥ 0 | Really fun game! arrow keys plzzzzzzzzz |
| May 6 13:18:15 | 12h 55m | Song of Fungus | ♥ 1 | Really awesome, super beautiful puzzle game. One of my favorite entries yet. Awesome job! |
| May 18 05:37:55 | 280h 19m | Den | ♥ 2 | Awesome entry! Very neurotic and creepy, reminded me a bit of the end of Inside. I personally felt the controls were clunky, but I was playing in WebGL, will definitely be giving this a try on an android device later! awesome work! |
