May 1 14:01:04 Microbe Mash ♥ 1 This is really clever! I like to poke at puzzles, and the timer kept breaking my poking flow. It took me a while to figure out how to deselect a microbe. Maybe clicking somewhere not on a microbe would deselect? The music was nice the first time, but got really repetitive. Good work!
May 1 14:07:14 6m 10s Unnamed Space Project ♥ 2 The music loop made me physically ill for some reason. :) Good start of something.
May 1 14:37:49 30m 35s The Final Earth ♥ 2 31 days! Would have been sooner, but I needed to build a night club. Really fun! Loved the minimalist graphics. It didn't seem entirely balanced, but I never expect balanced games out of game jams. Really awesome to see a resource management game with a tutorial system!
May 1 14:47:59 10m 10s The world is (a) flat ♥ 2 I can't help but say stomage in a Strong Bad voice in my head.
May 1 14:57:01 9m 02s The Small Black ♥ 1 The sounds added a lot. I would have liked to see more flavor around why things are breaking. Good music!
May 1 15:02:08 5m 07s Mr Muffin ♥ 1 <3 Mr. Muffin. He's going to be the next Mario, I can feel it. The camera made me really sick though.
May 1 15:16:50 14m 42s herbarium ♥ 1 Great idea! Love to see cellular automata based puzzle games. I was also flummoxed by being unable to place blocks where water is. Water trending right made waterfall super hard. Really like it!
May 1 15:30:46 13m 56s Shapeshifter: The King of A Small World ♥ 1 Yay, sounds! Hiding the orb on the first level kind of breaks the flow of getting used to the controls. Many of the jumps are not very forgiving. (Playing on a laptop track pad compounds that for me.) Good job!
May 1 15:36:35 5m 49s New God in the Town ♥ 1 Interesting idea. I was not good at predicting which way people would go after poking them. Maybe adding colors to the names or something would have helped find people. Good job!
May 1 16:29:36 53m 01s Commander's Log ♥ 1 Great game. Harsh opening, (I died my first 5 tries) but fun and interesting. Best sound production I've heard thus far this Jam. UI for total daily resource costs would have made this an amazing game. The tutorial and story fit very well. Solid resource management sim.
May 1 16:36:35 6m 59s Mind The Gap (First Ludum Dare) ♥ 1 Brutal, but a good idea. I wish the difficulty ramped up a bit slower, so I could get used to the controls.
May 1 16:42:50 6m 15s DUCKTRON ♥ 1 Very squishy in that good way. The music loop was not annoying, and other sounds were good. Movement felt a little off. Otherwise, great game!
May 1 16:53:56 11m 06s Little bug ♥ 1 Interesting idea. The intro text was way too dark on my screen. The first two levels I just walked forward without even learning the game mechanic. Good job! A simple tip for making menus looks better: change the font from the default and just show the text so that the text is the button.
May 1 17:05:34 11m 38s Drifting away ♥ 3 Great idea. It was way to hard for me. I also spent the first few minutes trying to land on the closest planet. Too much KSP made me think I was going to fast to land on it. It would be neat if you could land on the non fueled planets if you slowed down enough. Loved the skip to next check point feature. I'm totally stealing that. Good work!
May 1 17:11:25 5m 51s A Small World ♥ 1 I like the concept, but it lacks depth. Also, snow totally occurs in nature.
May 1 17:59:39 48m 14s Generation Ship ♥ 0 I played this much too long. It could be a start to something pretty awesome. While playing, I just wish I could have painted tiles. Good job for your first try!
May 1 18:11:54 12m 15s Fish Escape ♥ 0 This fish murder sim would make my ex-girlfriend cry. Congratulations?
May 1 23:23:54 5h 12m Tooth decay ♥ 2 Great idea. Very addictive. Points would have been a welcome addition. Nice job!
May 1 23:49:41 25m 47s Little Fortune Planet ♥ 2 So weird and wonderful. I played this longer than I needed to. Wish there were more cards that created land. Awesome game!
May 1 23:56:44 7m 03s Space Cowboy's Last Stand ♥ 1 Interesting game! The bright stars moving really fast made me nauseous though. If they were dimmer, or didn't move at all, it would have been fine. See you space cowboy.
May 2 00:02:52 6m 08s Wee Planet ♥ 2 Fun! It was really hard on a track pad. Feedback when clicking and missing would have been great, as I missed the first several asteroids and wondered what I was doing wrong. Good job!
May 2 00:10:17 7m 25s Last Bloom ♥ 2 Really nice art! Some indication of how much weight was too much would have been great. Good choice in music. Good job!
May 2 15:18:54 15h 08m Antagonistic : Hamburger Hill ♥ 2 Great game! Yeah, the aiming is not very predictable, and it would have been super useful to know which directions are which. Just like a big N in the north would have done the trick. The simple resource management was simple and made for interesting choices. Good job!
May 2 15:36:37 17m 43s Limited Space ♥ 1 Nice hybrid! The time mechanic is pretty great, but I died from it my first two tries because I didn't realize the timer was counting down. Changing the color of the count down text would be helpful to indicate the direction it's going. Great game!
May 2 15:57:55 21m 18s Cosmic Cleaner ♥ 2 Awesome game! The planet faces are super cute. I felt bad every time I killed one. If you develop this further, consider golf style scoring and persisting the dead planets to make each level automaticly scale in difficulty. Way to go!
May 2 16:02:50 4m 55s Jetpackman VS Bouncy World ♥ 1 Love the vector style. Falling from really high and bouncing on multiple enemies feels great.
May 2 16:09:02 6m 12s It's a Small World, So Let's Crash It into Things ♥ 1 Reminds me a lot of Osmosis. But with a little gravity. That's cool. Jerky camera was super jarring though. A good entry!
May 5 16:29:09 72h 20m Stardust - A space adventure ♥ 0 Nice style! The backgrounds remind me of Day of the Tentacle. Point and click adventure games are very ambitious for game jams, but you guys put together something really interesting. Good job!
May 18 00:25:11 295h 56m 6 degrees ♥ 0 Nice! I didn't realize at first that the globe wasn't static.
May 19 05:33:36 29h 08m Asteroid Field ♥ 1 Nice first game! I could defend myself forever by just holding the mouse button in one place, so there wasn't much challenge.
May 19 05:47:10 13m 34s Dystopian Circuit Board ♥ 0 The phase/color weapon things was a cool idea. I wasn't sure what combos made things blow up though. The click to move seemed off. I beat it though! Good job.
May 19 06:02:05 14m 55s Proxima Centauri b ♥ 0 Pretty! The cube is a harsh mistress though. The random events wrecked me. With better balancing, I would have happily built stuff until the heat death of the cube universe. The flavor text was super good. Love seeing resource management games!
May 19 06:07:28 5m 23s Railroad to Hell ♥ 1 The two frame run animation works great! Punching is really hard though. The little dudes running along side the train is great.
May 19 06:16:29 9m 01s Enceladus ♥ 0 Great puzzle mechanics. I kept wishing for a "reset" where only the astronauts that already moved would move.
May 19 06:20:52 4m 23s Star-Crossed ♥ 1 Fun! The difficulty ramps up way too fast though. Got stuck on the second planet. Good second showing!
May 19 06:32:14 11m 22s Bubbletoy ♥ 1 Maddening and infuriating and addictive. Congratulations! Sound, mechanics, and style are superbly matched. You must be a mad genius of some sort.
May 20 17:59:57 35h 27m Nano : The Mission ♥ 0 The worms look rad. I kept spinning out though.
