| May 1 23:55:02 | Ant Clicker - Ready for your reviews!!! | ♥ 7 | This is my favorite clicker game that I have come across. I may not have played all that much of clicker games so I don't quite know if the tiers are balanced or not, but to me they seem fine and I was able to progress at a rate that was not fast enough, but still kept me interested. But the strength of this game is that it manages to create a calm and cozy atmosphere with it's superb visuals and audio. Small things like a spider that climbs down on web adds to the feeling that this is a window to a place with life. There is an very high level of polish to the game, everything feels well thought out and carefully crafted. It is very peaceful, you actually feel like you are sitting in the forest and just observing. It obviously nails the theme, the small world of ants is both interesting and a nice change of theme from all of the space games that I have played so far. Well done, this is one of very few LD entries that I think I will be playing again :) ! | |
| May 2 00:04:51 | 9m 49s | The Space Dwarf Brigade | ♥ 3 | If you have barley done game-development and still managed to complete a Ludum Dare then you should be very proud of yourself! It is a really good start, the core of the game is very solid (I encountered no bugs) and you follow the theme to a T. Audio would obliviously have been nice, but it is not needed as you can just make pew pew sounds yourself ;D Great job!!! |
| May 2 00:24:18 | 19m 27s | A World In Her Eye | ♥ 2 | As promised on the Löve forums here is my more in-depth feedback of "A World In Her Eye". First of all, the atmosphere is just fantastic, this is achieved from a coherent look, feel and sound. I really appreciate the amount of audio in this game, an otherwise often forgotten and neglected area in Ludum Dare entries. I love the visuals, there is an insane amount of work and overall polish that is rare to find in a game made in such a short time. The walk animation just works, its simple and only 2 directions, but it ties into the games, in lack of a better word humor and just enhances the gameplay. I absolutely love the ladder "scene", it could very easily have been annoying to have to climb it up and down, but it was implemented in a way that just made the world more immersive. The 3 best things with this game is that it is: #1 brave, doing things differently. #2 Has great cohersive graphics and #3 has incredible audio. Really well done, one of my absolute favourite entries that I have come across over the 8 Ludum Dare events that I have participated in. |
| May 2 08:30:13 | 8h 05m | Near kingdoms | ♥ 3 | Going into this I thought that I knew exactly what this game was going to be like, as a kid I used to play many similar games on sites like miniclip. But you have managed to create a game with a much deeper strategical possibilities. The resource gathering aspect makes it feel a lot more like an RTS than a clicker game. You have to constantly be gathering wood while making sure that you have troops that are walking in front and protecting the workers. I played mainly on Hard difficulty (because I am not a filthy casual ;D ) and it am glad to say that it took multiple rounds of getting my ass whopped before things started to work out. I encountered no bugs and the game overall feels like a very solid entry, the graphics were coherent and pleasing to look at and most importantly they were easy to read and understand what everything did. This game would be fantastic on the mobile, I would download it in a heartbeat, so please continue the development and let me know if you release it for the app store! :) |
| May 2 15:09:36 | 6h 39m | Murky Mind | ♥ 0 | I find it hilarious that it is a LD entry based on a previous LD entry. LD-ception! I am beyond amazed at the progress that you guys are making with Löve3d and for me it is a mandatory part of LD to check your game out. So don't miss an LD :D Visually it looks great and performs well without any bugs or issues. Great entry! |
| May 2 15:24:49 | 15m 13s | Fugue Gevoelens | ♥ 2 | This was a very interesting experience. The music and sounds really tie the game together and create a Zelda-esc atmosphere (If that doesn't make any sense and you think that I am crazy check this out: https://youtu.be/sbA46-KjoHk?t=2m6s ). It would really fit great in a game as a puzzle of some sort, maybe as a gatekeeper on a door that you need to "please" in order to gain access, but if you anger it then... well bad things happen. I really love short experiences like this that are soooo well done. Everything is so coherent and well tuned. I also really appreciate the video that you made, it was a lot of fun to learn more about what and how you had made it. Impressive that you managed to have time to make that fancy editor. All in all, really great entry. I Löve it! :) |
| May 2 18:56:24 | 3h 31m | Project 9414 | ♥ 1 | A very nice entry, the game has a surprising amount of depth to it and has a real sense of accomplishment when you manage to get your small planet from a pile of dirt to a nice living place. At first I didn't quite understand the blackholes and how to defeat them, but after a while I got the hang of things, much thanks to the good hover over information that you provide. Everything looks and feels nice and is graphically coherent and well made. Overall a great game! |
| May 3 15:44:21 | 20h 47m | Island Boom (but it's cats so it's okay) | ♥ 1 | A really cool "Worms"-game! I love the fact that you can play local multiplayer, we need more of that in games in general. It's very nice that there are so many different weapons and the destructable terrain is super cool. Combine that with the fact that the levels are randomly generated and that there is an AI and I am very impressed over how you managed to fit all of that in such a short amount of time. Very nice entry.. But its cats so it is actually a...SUPER AWESOME ENTRY! |
| May 3 15:51:18 | 6m 57s | Pieni Saari | ♥ 1 | This is the most polished and overall well made entry that I have come across. The graphics are absolutely gorgeos and everything feels like it belongs together in a nice coherent way. It's very interesting how this game combines genres (RPG and Puzzle) to create a unique hybrid. There is also a lot of great dialog that is just the icing on the cake. Fantastic job! (Otti minut vähän aikaa ymmärtää että nimi oli suomeksi :D ) |
| May 3 16:48:41 | 57m 23s | Tiny Politics | ♥ 2 | What a nice and different entry you have made! I played it for a lot longer than I was anticipating (until year 9) and loved the strategy. With some modification I think that this would be a great physical "boardgame" / "card game" that you could play against your friends. I hope that you consider developing this further :) |
| May 4 17:57:38 | 25h 08m | Every World Has a Pizzeria | ♥ 4 | I have to start off by letting you know that I ate pizza while playing your game. This game feels nostalgic in many ways, in a good way. Visually it is very impressive and I love the snow-globe idea, it fits the theme like a glove and just gives an overall cozy feeling. I think that the car handles perfectly, it isn't super easy to drive, but it has that goofy arcade feeling that just makes it more fun. Great job! :) |
| May 4 21:16:02 | 3h 18m | The Bugs World | ♥ 2 | One of my ideas that we didn't go with this jam was to make an RTS, a genre close to my heart. I really think that you managed to make controls perfect, I really feel like I am in control and the bugs do as I please. One of the key things that lead to this is that you allow for selection of all idle bugs with "E". I am going to stea... uhm... Lend this when I decide to make an RTS myself. I like how the game is very simplistic and straight to the point, yet still offers a lot of strategic choice. It was very hard and took me a long time before I started to win, but it felt more rewarding this way. The visuals are very nice and coherent and the entire game feels very well made and polished for a 48hour entry, very impressive! |
| May 4 22:04:37 | 48m 35s | Nucleu | ♥ 2 | This is a real "feel-good-game", it just feels... good! Amazing music, really cute and beautiful graphics and a fun game idea. It's really rare to come across a compo game that does everything so well. The amount of polish is also really high, Great job! |
| May 4 22:32:10 | 27m 33s | A Giant's Tale | ♥ 2 | I am very impressed at how complete this game feels for a compo entry! The growing and shrinking mechanic is unique and interesting and is used it many cool ways. The dialog is clever and fun to read, it is very easy that text in games becomes too long to bother to read. Overall a really great entry, well done! :) |
| May 4 23:43:43 | 1h 11m | Tilil | ♥ 2 | This is incredible, you have made so many features and such a complex game in 32 hours. It was a lot of fun to try and keep my little city alive, you grow attached to things that you get to design yourself. It was well balanced although it took me a bit of time before I understood what to do, the text tutorial was a bit rough to get through. Visually very nice looking game as well :) Awesome job! |
| May 5 00:51:55 | 1h 08m | It's a Small World, So Let's Crash It into Things | ♥ 2 | Hah, the dark-matter chasing you was really creepy (well it is almost 3 am here in Sweden, but still), kudos for making voice acting, and for the sound in general. Overall its a fantastic entry; It's simple, well executed and very polished. In other words verything you could wish for in an entry. I ended up playing this for a very long time, thanks for a great game :) |
| May 16 08:52:45 | 272h 00m | Breakout Bunny | ♥ 2 | I love rabbits, used to have one as a pet. I feel like this game captures the rabbit lifestyle very well :D Impressive with 3d for a gamejam and very well made coherent graphics in general. Fun entry! :) |
| May 16 18:02:02 | 9h 09m | AaaRrr - Fight epic battles on our small (and flat) world | ♥ 2 | Really fun how similar our entries are in some aspects indeed (even the name :D). It's great that you made a local multiplayer game, something that I wish there was more of in both gamejams and on the general game market. The idea is very innovative, its fun to play in the "sumo wrestling" style and it is a perfect concept for a party game. I imagine this could get quite popular if you continued development, I imagine a lot of powerups and other partyesc features. It's a great feature that the water is flowing off the world and that you are pulled out coninually, it makes it feel "scary" and "urgent" and just adds a ton of fun. Visually think it looks very nice as well, everything is very coherent and feels good. Great job fellow pirates, lets teach those landlubbers what we are made of! |
