| May 1 09:34:18 | Particulate | ♥ 2 | Interesting Agar.io spin off, good game for Ludum Dare - minimalistic, easy to understand and quick to play but hard to master. | |
| May 1 09:44:16 | 9m 58s | Diminishing Lands | ♥ 1 | Usually i'm not into platformers but this one is actually really fun to play. Controls feel just right and map that changes is pretty cool mechanic. Also difficulty curve is really nicely done, at first it also seems too easy but quit quickly game presents enjoyable difficulties to overcome. |
| May 1 10:07:33 | 23m 17s | STACK | ♥ 2 | Really cool game! Gameplay is pretty fun and engaging but also presents challanges along the way. Also you gave a player good motivation to keep playing - curiosity. Graphics and music is nice also i like how audio changes when you are higher. Overall really solid game and good job on your first entry. One more thing, you may want to make LD game a little easier and quicker to complete, many people don't want to spend much time on one game and get easily discouraged. Anyway i really enjoyed playing your game. |
| May 1 10:23:11 | 15m 38s | HexCity | ♥ 3 | Neat puzzle game, at first rules seem complicated but player can get grasp on them quickly. Game really forces to min-max every move and think ahead, overall pretty fun entry. |
| May 1 10:35:16 | 12m 05s | Island Defender 12 | ♥ 0 | Engaging game and requires a lot of skill to survive for longer time, i had a lot of fun playing. Good job on sound effects :D GUI could be 'clearer', when i am almost overrun it takes too much time to find how much coins i have. But other than that i don't have any complaints. |
| May 1 10:41:06 | 5m 50s | Tribal Tension (Twitch) | ♥ 2 | I played this game a lot and i will play more! Really cool idea and execution, well balanced and rewarding when you win or pull off some cool tactical maneuver. Definitely the best game i have played so far in this Ludum Dare edition. It's also nice that Shaun hangs out in chat and participates in maches or answers questions about game. |
| May 1 10:48:57 | 7m 51s | Tub of War | ♥ 2 | Awesome game as always. Really challenging - easy to play but hard to master. PS it was nice to watch your stream in background while working on my new game... Fight tub - “What Happens in the Tub, Stays in the Tub” FightTub.png |
| May 1 11:08:58 | 20m 01s | Little Space | ♥ 0 | Great atmosphere! Audio and graphic style match together and set right mood for this kind of game. Difficulty curve is nicely done, at first it is easy to manage your colony and you learn mechanics and how to be efficient, but the bigger your base is the tricker games gets. Really nice idea and execution, well done especially for your first Ludum Dare! |
| May 1 11:18:54 | 9m 56s | Genesis Planet Kit | ♥ 1 | This game is truly a hidden gem! Really REALLY impressive for such a short time of development it just feels so polished. The visual effects when you create black hole are just astonishing. Good job on recreating 80's style and setting great mood. You are right that many people might get discouraged quit fast but well... i will definietly come back to this game and play more when i will get more time. Congratulations man! |
| May 1 11:28:39 | 9m 45s | Barely There | ♥ 3 | At first i was like "It's simplistic but pleasant experience" but when i collected enough honey... oh man xD. It's so dramatic! You going to score real high in humor categoy, i can tell that. My only suggestion is that the first part of the game when you collect honey could be shorter, many people will play it for 1 minute and decide that they know what kind of game this is and that's probably all that there is to it and they will miss this amazing ending section. |
| May 1 11:46:07 | 17m 28s | Place Them All | ♥ 3 | Fun idea and execution, rules are intuitive and easy to get grasp on. Neat art style and audio, gameplay is addictive and i just want to play more just to see what happens next. Really solid game and fun to play. My top score so far is 6 tribes and 9 population |
| May 1 11:57:21 | 11m 14s | Mouse and Blade | ♥ 1 | First of all props for the title. Gameplay is pretty simplistic but also engaging, randomized enemies (i belive they are) add to the experience. This game really reminds me of Chip and Dale NES games and other games like that. Pretty cool art style and audio matches it well. Impressive for such a short development time. |
| May 1 12:21:57 | 24m 36s | The World Outside | ♥ 2 | Graphics are definitely the strongest aspect of this game, they are really well done and have this unique feel to them. Gameplay is simplistic and a little bit clunky but i feel that this is not the main focus of this entry, i think it's more about journey experience. It would be fun to see this game with more mechanics. |
| May 1 12:47:56 | 25m 59s | FREEDUMB! | ♥ 1 | Innovative idea and well executed. Graphics are well done and match satire kind of game. Gameplay is pretty fun (maybe a little repetitive after a while), it's hard to keep track of all twits but that's the challenge. |
| May 1 12:56:46 | 8m 50s | Carefulzilla | ♥ 2 | Pretty funny concept with amusing gameplay! This game sure is innovative and has interesting mechanic. Gameplay feels well balanced, you really try to avoid all building and people, but timer puts a lot of pressure, if you want you can complete game easly-ish but to master it and destroy as little as possible is a real challenge. Also it's satisfying to just stomp at the villain at the end. |
| May 1 13:32:46 | 36m 00s | Space Ship: Andromeda | ♥ 1 | I gotta tell that at first this game feels so overwhelming. It really is impressive that you manage to make it in 3 days. As you mention there are some bugs* but it is still amazing. I love playing 'mystery games' when you try to work out whats going on and here it is mixed with action game which for some people works for others not, but enemies are too buggy and sometimes it is irritating being killed when enemy just appears out of nowhere. Also text said by hero could be in different colour, that would be easier to read and understand. Are you going to work on this game more? I am genuinely interested and would like to play more polished version. Also can you post somewhere story? I know that player should have fun figuring this out on his own, but to be honest i got discouraged by buggy enemies. BTW when you said 'don´t get scared' i expected more of a scary ambient atmosphere, but when i got to sector 15... guys, you better prepare ##SPOILERS *bugs -if you go to your apartment first and when black creature kills you then you don't die and next triggers are broken -in some resolutions text goes off the screen -black creature can go through building and mountains |
| May 1 14:20:12 | 47m 26s | Invaders of Yekithar | ♥ 1 | This plot sounds strangely familiar, One Punch Man? ;) Gameplay is simple but entertaining and difficulty is pretty well balanced. Controls could use some polishing (although difficult climbing might be part of challenge) but other than that i don't have any complaints. |
| May 1 14:30:45 | 10m 33s | P L A N E T O R U S | ♥ 0 | Interesting use of physics, projectiles that orbit around torus add deepth to the gameplay. I also liked particle effects, especially when worm enemies die. In overall pretty solid game with innovative mechanics. |
| May 1 14:47:34 | 16m 49s | Worlds Project | ♥ 1 | It is fun to just throw stuff in this world and see what people will do with the resources, it is interesting to watch them just build new stuff. Do they fight with each other? I swear i saw some of them throw something at other people. Anyway pretty cool zen kind of game and you nailed the theme. Nice graphics and overall mood, good job! |
| May 1 15:04:49 | 17m 15s | Until the End | ♥ 1 | Unique approach on the theme, i like how it shows boring daily routine of prison life. Gameplay is kinda repetitive but that's the point. Interesting experience, good job. |
| May 1 15:12:13 | 7m 24s | Routine | ♥ 1 | Extremly stylish game, very minimalistic but very pleasant to eye, even font matches perfectly. Gameplay is simplistic, innovative and presents interesting challenges. Mood is also pretty good. |
| May 1 15:29:25 | 17m 12s | Cosmic Cleaner | ♥ 3 | Cute art style and general feel to this game is pretty 'innocent'. I like how planets have different facial expressions and depending on their size pull objects toward them. This kind of game is not my cup of tea but i actually enjoyed playing this, game feels pretty polished. |
| May 1 15:40:34 | 11m 09s | Small Atomic World War | ♥ 2 | Reminds me of Agar.io but with way more action packed into it. Concept with atom war is pretty amusing and gameplay is entertaining in overall, the way player level up is interesting. |
| May 1 15:47:19 | 6m 45s | Microbe Mash | ♥ 1 | Puzzle game that requires to plan ahead, pretty fun to play. Graphics are simplistic and easy to read which is just right for this kind of game. Also very clever approach to the theme. |
| May 1 15:56:18 | 8m 59s | Space World | ♥ 1 | Space potatoes keep killing Earth D: Simplistic, old school kind of game, fun to play. Graphics are decent and game gets harder with time which is nice. |
| May 1 16:09:52 | 13m 34s | Throw | ♥ 2 | First word that comes to mind when i want to describe this game is 'elegant'. It feels polished and art style is just so adequate for this game (audio also matches pretty nicely). I like how even menu is part of the game. Difficulty curve is just right and new mechanics get introduced gradually so player doesn't feel overwhelmed from start. Also decent amount of levels and they are neatly designed. |
| May 1 16:23:19 | 13m 27s | Hexoworld 9999 | ♥ 0 | Gameplays gets a lot of depth thanks to the fact that the planet terrain is uneven and thanks to that your missles are being on different angle. Game looks really pretty, even guis seems polished. In overall pretty decent game. |
| May 1 16:33:31 | 10m 12s | Eine Kleine Insektmusik | ♥ 1 | Funny concept and good execution. At first it seems chaotic and it's hard to survive but after a while you get used to it and can easily avoid hammers. Music is of course really good and sets great atmosphere for this game. Overall really decent game. |
| May 1 19:32:32 | 2h 59m | Destroy The Dome | ♥ 1 | Cool game aesthetics, game has consistent art style and it sets great mood. I like visual effects when enemies die and projectiles explode. Gameplay is fun, it's a challenge to complete this game even after a couple of tries. Impressive game escpecially if we take into account the fact that you wrote it yourself from the scratch. |
| May 1 19:44:32 | 12m 00s | Global Disaster | ♥ 1 | Entertaining multitasking kind of game, it really requires a lot of skill to survive for longer time. I like how little people on your planet are your hp, and if you can't handle all around defence any longer, you can focus on just one part of planet. Graphics and audio are neat and they go well together. Pretty good game for mobile devices. |
| May 1 20:05:16 | 20m 44s | Pod2000 | ♥ 6 | Extremely well polished game with great atmosphere! It's really amazing how much climate is in this game, sounds and graphics are just top notch. You put a lot of work in this game and in so short time which is amazing, good job! |
| May 1 22:45:10 | 2h 39m | It's a Small World, So Let's Crash It into Things | ♥ 1 | Cool Agar.io kind of game with a twist, i like that there is that dark planet that i have to play hide and seek with if i want to survive. Also sound effects are really neat, give game this creep-ish vibe. In overall fun, short game for LD. |
| May 1 23:05:50 | 20m 40s | The Room | ♥ 2 | Well done, graphics are simplistic but match the genereal atmosphere of the game. Puzzles are intuitive and at right difficulty level. My only problem was with shadow numbers, i mean it crossed my mine that i need to look at them from specific perspective or how they cast shadows but clicking at rug didn't work for me at first. As you mentioned, you made rug bigger but there still could be some indication that you can look down. Other than that i don't have any complaints, very pleasant game to play, good job! |
| May 1 23:21:53 | 16m 03s | Unnamed Space Project | ♥ 2 | I like tower defense kind of game especially when you can actually control hero instead of just placing turrets. Gameplay is pretty fun and requires from player to plan ahead (where to put turrets, if they will be enough and i should save money for next map or do i have to make additional support). Cool visual effects and audio fits the game pretty well. |
| May 1 23:35:33 | 13m 40s | Slightly Angry Max | ♥ 2 | The opening sequence is pretty funny 'Max that is mad about that'. Gameplay is pretty nice, right from the beggining player can see that this game is not going to be a easy one. |
| May 1 23:43:49 | 8m 16s | Mulletman and the Molemen | ♥ 2 | Innovative mechanics when you have to keep escaping but also manage your molemans and try to save as many as you can. Adorable graphics and sounds give this game nice atmosphere. Shame that game doesn't reward / punish player based on how many creatures he saved. Anyway pretty neat game with engaging gameplay. |
| May 2 11:32:15 | 11h 48m | My Very Own World | ♥ 1 | Very engaging game, really fun to play! I like how gameplay is balanced by amount of move you have per turn. AI is pretty decent and provides a lot of challenge. It is impressive that you manage to make this game solo just in 48 hours. Game assets fit with each other and set rigt mood for this kind of game. Well done! |
| May 2 11:45:21 | 13m 06s | Power Department | ♥ 0 | Interesting, innovative idea and well executed. Firt of all im impressed that you manage to make cutsecene in such a short time. Graphics are simple but are easy to read which is the most important in this kind of game, audio is also allright and match the game. Gameplay has more depth than you could assume at start, to manage to provide electricity to all cities is a challenge and you have to plan ahead and be careful with your finances. In overall really solid game. |
| May 2 12:01:28 | 16m 07s | Conquer Earth | ♥ 1 | Really complex game especially for Ludum Dare. I would suggest to make some kind of small and quick tutorial in game, and you don't have to show every mechanic in it, just basics so player can navigate in game world and will figure out how to do more complex things. Many players will be discouraged by walls of text and because of that will not know what to do in game, then will be frustrated when they lose. With that out of way i really enjoyed your game! I like turn based games and this one adds to it card game mechanics and resource managment! AI provides a challenge and depending on what mode you are playing it might be easier / harder to succeed. This game is fun to play and really interesting i actually would like to see this game more developed (more game mechanics and maybe encounters like in Faster Than Light?) i think this game has a chance to interest a lot of players. Art style is minimalistic but elegant and fits this game. In overall really cool game and good job on developing it in so short time. |
| May 2 12:15:23 | 13m 55s | AaaRrr - Fight epic battles on our small (and flat) world | ♥ 3 | That's one funny game! i love the sound effects especially when ships fall of the edge :D Gameplay is very simple but engaging and fun; easy to play but hard to master. Shame there is no multiplayer option but it's still nice to play it in 'local multiplayer'. To spice things up maybe there should be some enviromental hazards, like whirlpools or storms? Graphics are neat and in overall pretty solid entry. |
| May 2 12:23:42 | 8m 19s | SittingDucks | ♥ 1 | That's an interesting idea to have a giant duck (that uses her children as meat shields) as the protector of Earth. Gameplay is really challenging and you it's only a matter of time before you won't be able to weaken asteroids by throwing your babies a them. Nice graphics and funny game in overall. |
| May 2 12:35:02 | 11m 20s | Yours | ♥ 1 | Cool zen kind of game, it's a pleasant experience to watch them expand and build new stuff. I like ho pretty world you can create in this stylish minimalistic art style. |
| May 2 14:28:08 | 1h 53m | Polar Protector | ♥ 0 | Fun simple game with engaging gameplay. At first i thought that you need to chose opposite element to the enemy (like you need to use water on sand enemies etc) but after few tries i realised that i need to match enemy element. Graphics are neat and give this 'light / chill' feeling to them, audio is also pretty nice. In overall pretty solid entry. |
| May 3 15:10:05 | 24h 41m | Wake Up ! | ♥ 2 | Pretty game that reminds me of Limbo, minimalistic but elegant and stylish. 'Levels' were well designed and fun to complete. Platforming was a bit annoying at time and buggy and i broke the game few times just to see what will happend if i use dreamcatcher in weird places. But bugs are to be expected in such short development time. In overall pretty neat game, would be nice to see this game expanded. |
| May 6 20:36:02 | 77h 25m | Feed The Anthill | ♥ 3 | Impressive for solo 48 hours, game feels polished and complete. Tutorial is short and explains game well. I also like sound effects, pretty funny and they match the mood of the game. Gameplay is simple but it's fun to balance ant population and food income. The only thing that could use some extra work are Graphics but they are pretty clear / easy to read and that's the most important thing. |
| May 8 14:24:03 | 41h 48m | Dispyria | ♥ 0 | Really impressive, you did excellent on capturing this retro atmosphere of old games. It's like a mix between Castelvania and Ghost & Goblins. Graphics and music are just top notch. Controls could use some polishing and hitboxes are sometimes weird but that's understandable due to the time limitation. I would like to see this project expanded and good luck with your kickstarter. |
| May 8 15:02:16 | 38m 13s | Chroma | ♥ 3 | Game feels pretty polished and is fun to play. I like that you wanted to make your own art style and it feels different enough and is actually really pretty and matches the game mood. Sound effects are also nice and satisfying. AI could use some extra work, it was easy to exploit it and shoot it from distance or just around the corner. Also if you wanted to make dash as main mechanic then you really should make it stronger, usually i didn't bother to use it although it did save me some HP few times. And i think that you should dash in direction that is the hero moving at the moment, that would more intuitive and easier to use. In overall pretty solid game and i wish you good luck with futher development. |
| May 8 15:40:55 | 38m 39s | A Cage of Love | ♥ 1 | Intriguing game, i was actually invested in the story and that pushed me through the game. Movement and fighting is clunky but that's not the main focus of the game. Decent writing and good job on graphics, simple but neat. Also could you tell what happens in both ending? I picked one and would like to see alternative ending but playing thgrough again takes too long. In overall pretty solid entry, it's nice to see games that try something different compared to most LD games. |
| May 17 21:49:31 | 222h 08m | SmallRTS | ♥ 0 | Very innovative idea and well executed, it's fun to observe situation and try to adjust accordingly. I think i got pretty high score (beat one level and was almost done with another) but website crashed on me so i couldn't submit it. Graphics are simple but easy to read. Would be cool to see this project more expanded with more mechanics and levels. Solid game in overall. |
| May 17 22:09:00 | 19m 29s | War in the Sky | ♥ 1 | Very pretty game, elegant and stylish. You definitely achieved your goal of making game with "Graphics made of simple shapes with a limited color palette" and task queue seems to work fine too. Gameplay is more of a zen experience and to be honest i don't have anything against it but some background music would improve mood of the game. Actually it was fun to min-max your airships and try to build everything as efficient as you can. With more mechanics and some in-game challanges it could be really engaging game. |
