Apr 27 15:00:48 My Small Mind ♥ 2 Nice little puzzle game! I enjoyed the puzzles, but I don't think the game needs these enemies. Do they exist to motivate/force the player to solve the puzzle inside their mind, instead of doing an approach, based on trial and error? They achieve this effect, but they are still annoying in my opinion. Maybe already finished puzzles should not be reset if you get caught. Also, I liked the graphics, would have loved to see some more animations (I know, 48h are short :)).
Apr 27 15:23:58 23m 10s Therrain ♥ 2 Nice graphics and music, I had much fun playing your game! It also fits very good to the theme. And it even has **cutscenes** This is a really great entry! 👍
Apr 27 15:49:16 25m 18s Sentient Duality ♥ 2 Innovative entry, but as @dusted already mentioned, it can be frustrating sometimes, because you often end up inside an obstacle when switching back to particle nature. It bugs me a bit, that I have to be so cautious, maybe the player should always be more on the left side of the screen, so more of the level can be seen in advance. Nice minimalistic graphics!
Apr 28 18:51:55 27h 02m Little Sprout Garden ♥ 0 Cute!
Apr 28 20:55:58 2h 04m Paisley Princess ♥ 1 That's a really awesome entry! Awesome graphics! Awesome music! (and funny too) I would have just wished for more depth (and challenge), but I guess it's only supposed to be **a small world**. PS: I have found you btw!
May 4 13:24:53 136h 28m Planetary Defense ♥ 2 Good job 👍! My record is 59.3 seconds! I think it would be more convenient if you don't have to press the button in the bottom left corner before placing a turret, since you have to be as fast as possible.
May 4 14:24:03 59m 10s Flight Club ♥ 1 Great entry! Nice graphics, fitting music and it's nice that you have a main menu where the most important things are explained! In my opinion, you have a too short timeframe for those flights, especially if the departure and destination airport are very close, then you REALLY have to be fast. Because of this short timeframe, the game looses depth, because routing a flight via multiple airports to avoid congestion and hurricanes won't make the flight arrive on time, also I'm too stressed and I don't have enough time to think about clever routing. Also a option to toggle fullscreen mode would have been nice. I'd love to see an enhanced version of your game 👍! PS: I can confirm that the linux version is working (at least on Ubuntu Mate 16.04)!
May 7 19:26:16 77h 02m Hives (Gameboy ROM) ♥ 1 I always love to play games made for old consoles during Ludum Dare! Well done 👍! The game requires you to be very close to the edge of the screen to scroll, which makes it likely that you run into an enemy. Also, I had to play two rounds to realize, that you can scroll at all, because of that.
May 7 20:28:23 1h 02m Tiny Venture ♥ 0 Nice graphics and great atmosphere!
May 9 15:08:46 42h 40m Little Big Square ♥ 0 Wow, you have a really innovative mechanic there and you created so many levels! The music is also very nice. I got stuck at the one level that seemed impossible for me, but I just saw, that some guys who posted comments have beaten all the levels (seems like I gave up too early). Good job!
May 9 15:32:38 23m 52s Space Migrator ♥ 1 Nice compo entry (even with intro) 👍! Gravity is not applied when reading the instructions for the next level, so the buildings are slowly moving away from the planet. I really would have loved to see some more levels!
May 13 22:05:32 102h 32m Graphite ♥ 1 Nice game and rad graphics! You did a great job in those 48 hours (even with boss fight 👍)! The only thing I would have wished for is more feedback on the actions in the game. First, how can I hit the swing attack? Do I have to aim it with the mouse or does it just hit to the left or right, like the animation shows? Even after several playthroughs, I was still unclear about that (maybe I'm stupid) and I was always wondering, if I hit the enemy or the enemy hit me, since the hit sound is the same and there is no hit animation. If this would be implemented, I think there is no need to make the game easier like other commentors mentioned. I would have also preferred to have a sprite for the projectiles in addition to the particle effect.
May 14 20:23:03 22h 17m Sex is Nature ♥ 1 Cool! I would change the camera angle though, so that you can see where you are going.
May 14 20:41:46 18m 43s Planet Hoppers ♥ 2 Nice entry, but I think the game needs to be more challenging, also what's the point of collecting so many different colored gems? A highscore would be cool, the more gems you have collected, the better your score, in order to create some kind of risk-reward mechanic. If you are going to continue your game, then you should focus on route planning, because in my opinion, that was the funniest part of the game. Also, I don't think jumping is really required( it actually makes you move slower)
May 14 21:02:24 20m 38s Planet Jumper ♥ 0 Wow, this is actually a really fun game! Sadly there is a bug, where starting the game instantly colors the starting planet red, so in order to play it, I had to start it about 10 times till I was able to really play. Could it be that the speed of the game depens on the number of frames? Because, everytime that happened, the console printed a very high amount of frames, about 1000 (and maybe you should remove the fps counter in the game). If that is the case, then you should change the game to take the time between the frames (often called delta time) into consideration when updating your game. Also a restart button would be great!
May 16 10:06:53 37h 04m Under The Petri Dish ♥ 1 Nice game, but I think the game needs to be balanced, I could not even win once. The fact that the black cells can split just seems too unfair and the items don't seem to compensate this advantage of the enemies.
May 16 10:26:06 19m 13s Lonely Cylinder ♥ 0 Wow, this is a really great entry, very creative. The gameplay is fun, I like the music and you don't see very humorous games very often in LD. Also the description is nice too. 👍 PS: The linux version works (played on Ubuntu Mate 16.04)
