May 1 05:52:58		eiland	♥ 1	Beautiful game, the tide animation and the character look very nice. The controls work well and the sound effects for the items fit very well. I also like the mood of the game. I am not sure if there is another ending, but my island got flooded and I died. Also all the birds seemed to be dead at the start of the game, not sure if that was intended. Overall a lovely game, good job!
May 1 06:02:21	9m 23s	SmallWorld	♥ 0	Simple but effective concept. The graphics are a bit simple. Sometimes the minerals seem to fall to far and get stuck in the planet, where you cannot reach them. The game could be interesting if some more elements are added.
May 1 06:15:42	13m 21s	Violent Goat	♥ 0	Very nice for a first entry! The goat looks nice and I like the atmosphere. The jumping feels smooth, except for when you get stuck at walls 😄 I don't like the mechanic with the limited ammo. Because I missed which key was shooting on the first text box, I tried to figure it out by pressing every button. Overall, a good game with some nice humor :D
May 1 06:25:40	9m 58s	Big Ship on a Small World	♥ 0	I love the art style of the planets 👍 Some of them are only shown halfway though. The text is sometimes hardly readable because of its color. When the ship was flying, it seemed like the background was showing through it sometimes.
May 1 06:29:43	4m 03s	The Escapist	♥ 2	Sorry, but I don't want to install a third-party software to be able to play your game.
May 1 06:38:03	8m 20s	SLINGSHOOT	♥ 0	The idea is really cool! Nice graphics also and good music. Overall, an impressive entry! The game gets quite hard farily quickly 😀 Shooting a projectlie right back at the attacker actually requires a lot of precision (that I don't have 😝). Good job!
May 1 06:49:22	11m 19s	Crunching Creatures	♥ 1	A nice simulation with moving acorns 😁 It seems to be very realistic 😉: In the end, the humans had eaten all the food and then everything went extinct...
May 1 07:11:47	22m 25s	Trindle Tabletop Experiment	♥ 1	When I saw the first level, I though it was gonna be a boring maze game. But then it got more interesting and the last level was actually quite challenging. My favorite level was level 4 I think, because it hit the right level of challenge for me. The idea to make everything based on stationery is quite cool. It is a bit to easy to get stuck on things though. A solid entry though, well done!
May 1 07:20:16	8m 29s	In Good Hands	♥ 3	The idea is really cool! I also like the music and sound effects. The controls take a bit of getting used to, but then it is fun to snipe bears with meteors or lightning. Well done, a very fun entry 😁
May 1 17:21:10	10h 00m	A World In Her Eye	♥ 2	The mood of the game is lovely 😁 I love the idea of reaching another planet with a ladder. The riddles are pretty straight forward, but I guess I ran out of time before I could fully get my new robot friend going. The music also fits nicely with the athmosphere. One think that tripped me up a bit is when you have to make a choice suddenly after some dialog. I tend to spam the action button to go on reading and then accidentially make the wrong choice 😟 Very impressive game overall!
May 1 17:31:42	10m 32s	Until the End	♥ 1	The idea of using a prison is very cool. I found it very confusing in the beginning which objects you could interact with. If you wander off in the wrong direction at the wrong time, it is also easy to die of starvation. I just got teleported into my cell and died before I could get to the cafeteria affter the cell opened again 😅 It might be more realistic and interesting to build up hunger/thrist slower. Then you would also experience the boringness of a prison more. Nice work!
May 1 17:43:05	11m 23s	Little Space	♥ 0	Nice game, I especially like the music. The building system is a bit clunky sometimes and it is not easy to tell if you cannot build something because you lack the scraps or because it is blocked. Maybe just aligning the room to a grid would have made that easier. Also the scrolling is very confusing, I am still unsure what makes the perspective go up and down. I think it would be cool to control that scrolling yourself, so that you can always build something new at the floor. Otherwise its a very chill game with some potential. I could see it be really cool with some more room types etc.
May 1 17:56:57	13m 52s	M^3 (Moon Mining Manager)	♥ 2	I really struggled with the UI of this game. Not only do the buttons not explain what they do, but there is no real feedback when you clicked them. I spammed the buy miners button because it didn't seem like it was doing anything. One ore deposit was very close to my base, so I didn't really see the miner, as it was half hidden in the base. Also, I am not sure, if the silo and refinery thing actually work. I can't seem to see ore accumulate anywhere and I cannot refine/sell/whatever. The UI needs some serious work before this becomes usable imho 😕 Its a shame because the idea looked really cool. Maybe I am just too stupid to use it 😥 BTW, the buttons all say "Button" etc. before you select anything. EDIT: Okay, after I watched some of your video it is clearer how to actually play the game. But I think the UI is still pretty unintuitive 😝
May 1 18:12:56	15m 59s	Holy Shit! A Spider !!!	♥ 1	The sound commentary is a really nice touch 😁 A nice little game, easy to get the concept but hard to master. The graphics and sound are really nice. The only downside is that the loading takes quite long (probably because of all the audio comments). I really suck at these kind of games, only got a score <200 😟 Overally, the game is fun to play and quite polished. Well done!
May 1 18:29:29	16m 33s	Proxima Centauri b	♥ 2	The cube is a cool twist on the little planet idea that everyone did 👍 The cursor position is off for me on the cube though. The graphics are neat, but the fonts are a bit small on my screen making the text hard to read. I am unsure what the purpose of the explorer is, since you seem to be able to build anywhere you want. The game definitely has potential: With some more buildings this could be really cool 🙂 Well done!
May 1 18:41:05	11m 36s	Troll Castle	♥ 1	Nice game with some solid mechanics. I am not sure if the trolls are supposed to be still courageous after the mushrooms wear off, because they can still cross water. The controls feels a bit clunky, I think it would have been nice to control everything with just the mouse (maybe use right click or some kind of context menu?). The music is also very nice and contributes to the mood of the game. The art is strange, but fits the weird theme very well. Nice work!
May 2 05:29:05	10h 48m	It's a Small World, So Let's Crash It into Things	♥ 1	A very nice little game. The dark star is pretty creepy and really gives you the urge to run away. So it feels even better to crush it in the end 😁 The only thing that I didn't like was the panning of the camera, I would have preferred a smoother one. The music also fits nicely. It probably does not have a lot of replayability, but the first playthrough was very fun! Well done!
May 2 05:41:49	12m 44s	Dr. M Little's Planet Mass Overdrive	♥ 0	A very impressive game for the compo. The graphics are nice, the music is chill and fits the space theme. It took me a while to figure out you could charge the thruster and fly further. I think I would have preferred continuous flying controls. But the sticky planet is really cool and collecting all the planets is fun. After I created the biggest planet and played on, I was able to push the sun offscreen, not sure if that is intended. Very polished game, good job!
May 2 06:01:59	20m 10s	Suds of War	♥ 2	This is a cool twist on the theme! It's similar to the game of @quill18, but as a strategy game instead of a twinstick shooter. The game is quite hard and I got rekt by the enemy ships ganging up on me. The graphics are nice and I like the cute little clouds. The water refraction is a bit nausiating and the sound of the boats is a bit loud. The music is good and fits the childhood theme with its lullaby sound. Maybe you could have put segements in the bars for hp and actions, so that one can see more easily how many points are left. It would also be nice if after moving the ship would stay selected. Then it would be easier to continue exploring. Overall, a well executed game - nice job!
May 2 06:06:55	4m 56s	Limited Space	♥ 2	Got a crash when I tried to land on a planet: ``` ___________________________________________ ############################################################################################ FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0 for object o_cell: Variable o_cell.tem_pop(100005, -2147483648) not set before reading it. at gml_Script_scr_crew_to_cell ############################################################################################ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- stack frame is gml_Script_scr_crew_to_cell (line 0) gml_Object_o_cell_Step_0 ```
May 2 06:26:13	19m 18s	Tub of War	♥ 1	Fantastic game, as always! The graphics style fits the toy theme very well. The gameplay is satisfying and offers the right amount of challenge. The sound effects are pretty funny 😆 I suck at twinstick shooters though and the controls confused me sometimes. I found it hard to see where the front and the back of the boat is: When I am not moving and the turret is turned to the back, I often went off in the wrong direction. All in all, it is a very impressive and polished game for just 48 hours! Nice job!
May 2 06:34:51	8m 38s	Little Mouse Planet	♥ 1	This game is a nice little gem. I like the art style and the cute voice messages. The music is also nice. It took me quite a while to figure out how to use the well. Also I was not able to eat the cheese on the ground, so eventually I starved 😔 Not sure if that is a bug or if I just did not figure out how to eat anything. The cat is also cool and makes the game more interesting. Very well done game!
May 2 06:43:57	9m 06s	Little Fortune Planet	♥ 2	This one was a plesant surprise. A very polished crazy sandbox simulation with a lot of cool interactions. The graphics are very well drawn and I love the attention to detail with the effects of the cards. The sound effects and music are also well done. Definitely one of my favorites of theis LD 👍
May 2 06:54:41	10m 44s	Polyville	♥ 1	A nice game. The graphics are simple and functional, but do their job very well. The gameplay is a bit simplistic, but also very well executed for what it is. I never got stuck, because all the quest givers explained well how to find their objective. The controls are good although I am a bit surprised about the action key choice (G). I never really used the inventory, but if the game was extended to maybe include some items that need to be combined it could be useful. Overall, a very good game for your first LD 👍
May 2 07:03:50	9m 09s	Tiny Hadron Collider	♥ 2	The mechanics of this game are very cool, but they are difficult to grasp. I find it hard to correctly predict the trajectory. Otherwise, the game is very solid and polished. The music is good and the graphics do their job. This is actually the first mobile title that I've encountered so far. I can imagine that working very well, but I tested it only on PC. I would definitely play it on my phone though, if you publish it on the android market 😊
May 2 07:11:22	7m 32s	DUCKTRON	♥ 1	This game is surprisingly good. I did not expect murdering non-sentinent ducks could be so fun 😁 The game is also surprisingly hard, because you can easily get swarmed by other ducks. One of the mos annodying things I found was swimming into an other duck, because sometimes you cannot hit them but they can murder you. I would be interested in what this game would be like with collision between the ducks. I like how you combined a retro computer theme with ducks 🤣 Nice music and sound effects as well. A simple but very well executed game, good job!
May 2 07:21:19	9m 57s	Bumble Jumble	♥ 0	The mood and atmosphere of this game are fantastic. I struggled a bit with the controls, because I did not have a controller on hand. I think I would not be able to do the timed challenge. The idea of playing a bumble bee is very cool and a nice take on the theme. Manoeuvring the honey back to the base could be challenging because I was uncertain where was up and down. Overall, the game is a relaxing experience with fantastic music. Well done!
May 2 07:28:48	7m 29s	A View from Above	♥ 1	The ending really gave me a good laugh 🤣 I like the narrator and how it combines with the game elements. The mini games are quite simple, but the "story" still makes it worth playing. My only criticism is thta you can actually get stuck, if you miss your shots on the debris. If you run out of shots, literaly nothing happens and you have to reload. But maybe that is an intended part of the experience as well 😜 Well done and very impressive for 14h actually!
May 2 16:24:49	8h 56m	World Destroyer	♥ 1	Nice game with a cool mechanic. I like that the bullet goes around and can potentially kill you as well. This makes it more punishing if you miss a shot. My only problem with it is that the projectiles are barely visible against the sky, so they can be hard to evade. The graphics are solid for a LD entry and there is quite a lot of levels with different mechanics. I really like how you introduced more mechanics one by one with a good learning curve. This definitely has some potential and I would like to see a more polished version 👍
May 3 07:01:59	14h 37m	World of My Own	♥ 2	Very complete and polshed game. The fighting feels satisfying and you have a good variety of enemies. The bosses are challenging but not unfair. Collecting resources is also a nice addition that allows some progression between worlds. It would be nice to be able to see how many resources you have somewhere. The levels can get a bit repetetive after a while, but for such a short amount of time it is a lot of content. Very impressive work!
May 3 07:11:47	9m 48s	SlapR	♥ 1	A fun little game. The graphics style is very clean and the slap sound is very satisfying. Overall, it is pretty fun to slap the penguins around. The game gets difficult very quickly and at some point you just get overrun. I like how the ice slab wobbles when the penguins move on it. This game is a short but very enjoyable experience 🙂
May 3 07:26:54	15m 07s	Commander's Log	♥ 2	Wow, this is a very solid game! Very impressive for such a short time. I like the voiceovers, they add to the atmosphere of the game. The music is also very nice. The graphics are basic, but communicate clearly what is going on. it is actually quite challenging to manage the space station, but did still feel fair. My game (web version) also crashed after a short time, something about a task being added that was already accepted - sorry, I closed the tab already. Amazing work, I think this is the best game I have played so far!
May 5 07:23:37	47h 56m	Pixlets	♥ 1	A nice solid game. I like the music, even though it gets a bit repetetive after a while. The graphics are cute and functional. The gameplay is simple but fun. The unlock system works very well to keep you playing. Ist is actually surprisingly difficult to balance the trees and pixlets so that they all got something to eat and you don't run out of money. Overall, a fun game that is very addicting 😄 Well done!
May 9 16:32:26	105h 08m	Exploroka	♥ 2	The garphics of this game are fantastic! The controls also feel smooth. I found the gameplay quite confusing, until I discovered the messages in the top right. I think it would have been better to be able to collect all kinds of dimaonds and not just one. Or at least to not pick up diamonds of the wrong color if you run over them. Otherwise, a very nice game. I find that the world is very big and impressive for just 48h. Well done!
May 9 16:36:35	4m 09s	Don't Make Me Stop This Car!	♥ 2	Nice idea and sad you hat to cut the meters 😥 The game is challenging and it took me a couple of tries to get to the goal. After I restarted, the car didn't move anymore, however. The graphics are nice, but I found the music a bit annyoing after a while. All in all, a fun little game, nicely done!
May 14 07:28:59	110h 52m	Smalltrek	♥ 1	Wow, this is really a fantastic game. A lot of puzzles that find the right level challenge. The graphics are very cute and communicate the puzzle state very well. The music and sound effects are also great and support the game's mood. The controls are a bit annoying sometimes, especially on the world map it can be hard to access the right planet. As you have already said, our games are very similar, but yours has more depth in its mechanics and more levels. Very impressive work for such a short time! I could also see this work well on mobile, with the small size for each level. I think this is one of my favorite games this LD.
May 14 07:43:45	14m 46s	Wrong Delivery	♥ 1	A nice plattformer game. I like that you start without even the jump and have to "earn" it first. This progression is really satisfying. The back story of the game is funny. The gameplay feels solid and the controls are overall good. For me, the hitboxes of the enemy projectiles seemed a bit big - it felt like I was getting hit without the projectile visually hitting. Some more animations (for example the lava) and sound effects would have been cool. The level design is very good and areas are nicely gated by the mechanics you unlock. Overall, a nice entry, well done!
