| Jul 31 17:53:53 | Night of the Living Toaster | ♥ 1 | Neat concept! Cool shaders gave the game a unique look. My only gripe is that sometimes the player couldn't seem to move in a certain direction for seemingly no reason. Great job nonetheless! | |
| Jul 31 18:04:20 | 10m 27s | Prison Escape | ♥ 1 | Nice work! Very impressive to use C++ for your first Ludum Dare! Neat concept, and pretty well executed. I also liked the music. I maximized the game right away which caused some issues, maybe in future if you don't support widow resizing make sure the window can't resize. Otherwise great job! |
| Jul 31 18:11:15 | 6m 55s | Programmer Energy | ♥ 1 | Nice job! Definitely captured my attention for a few minutes, something many other games I've played so far have not managed to do. |
| Jul 31 18:21:28 | 10m 13s | SpaceReturn | ♥ 1 | Neat concept! I liked the graphics, and the placement system seemed to work well. Gameplay could have been a bit more engaging, but good work nonetheless! |
| Jul 31 18:35:26 | 13m 58s | Low Power Spacecraft | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! Nice short story to bring the player in, and good gameplay to keep them playing! I feel like it could have started off a bit easier, as right now as a beginner it is quite difficult. Really enjoyed it anyway though! |
| Aug 2 07:53:03 | 37h 17m | No Sorcerer's Sky | ♥ 1 | Interesting ideas presented here, but the UI could have been a bit better. I would have liked to be able to see my inventory at all times, and see clearly that a structure can be built or upgraded with the supplies I have currently, rather than checking each amount. I liked the chill background music and the comic-style ending was neat. |
| Aug 2 07:58:18 | 5m 15s | I NEED POWER | ♥ 2 | I liked the idea of having multiple things to do simultaneously, that kept my interest for a while. My best score was 401! I would have liked a small text bubble saying what to do at the start though, as I had to refer back to this page before I could play. Good work nonetheless! |
| Aug 2 08:00:46 | 2m 28s | Radrover Snap!! | ♥ 0 | Cool aesthetic, very unusual. Mouse and keyboard controls were a bit tough, but manageable I suppose. Good work! |
| Aug 2 08:55:03 | 54m 17s | X-Moon 2: Dark Moon | ♥ 1 | Cool style, but a little too hard to see where you're going for me. I know that's the point, but I think the light radius could have been a little bigger. Nice overall aesthetic though :) |
| Aug 2 08:57:01 | 1m 58s | Battery boy is running out of juice ! | ♥ 0 | Nice game, fun, cool hand-drawn style. Shooting and moving felt a little sticky/unresponsive at times, but overall great work :) |
| Aug 2 09:02:54 | 5m 53s | Turrets Turrets | ♥ 0 | Interesting twist on the typical tower-defense genre. After a while it does begin to feel like a bit of a task to have to buy new batteries all the time though, but then again without that feature it wouldn't fit the theme too much. Nice work either way :) |
| Aug 2 09:07:44 | 4m 50s | Exponential Maintenance Engineer | ♥ 0 | ~~The windows link is broken! I can't play the game :(~~ **EDIT:** It works now :) |
| Aug 2 09:11:21 | 3m 37s | Sleepy Orphan Simulator | ♥ 1 | Very neat concept, executed very well too! Easy to learn, but challenging enough to keep my attention for a while. Great work :) |
| Aug 2 09:16:18 | 4m 57s | Drain | ♥ 0 | Nice quality voice overs! Reminds me of The Witness. The screen was a little too dark for me, I know that's kind of the point but I couldn't see where I was going. Nice work anyway :) |
| Aug 2 09:23:14 | 6m 56s | Dorgus Needs Power! | ♥ 1 | Nice an juicy feel! It was unclear why pressing S didn't feed the guy my charges - I think you have to be on the ground and in front of him? but other than that it was a fun little game! There is one bug I came across nearly every time I played which is that the ground has no friction sometimes, so if you shoot you'll zip across the screen rapidly. Great work nonetheless! :) |
| Aug 2 09:27:32 | 4m 18s | Ultimate | ♥ 1 | I liked the effort with the shaders used, but I felt the effects were a little too strong, namely the chromatic aberration and tv-effects. I also felt there could have been a little more contrast between the player and the background, and between the player and the enemies - all three kind of blended together. Nice work nonetheless :) |
| Aug 2 09:33:48 | 6m 16s | Pura The Robot | ♥ 1 | I liked the animations, and the puzzles seemed well thought out and fully functional. Nice work! |
| Aug 2 09:50:01 | 16m 13s | Smash ball | ♥ 1 | Fun, physics-based mechanic! Not sure how it fits into the theme really, power management never really became something I had to consider. One thing I would recommend is naming your zip file with the name of your game, that way when downloading a bunch of games at a time I can still tell which is which. Good work overall! 🙂 |
| Aug 2 10:13:08 | 23m 07s | Empire Building | ♥ 1 | Fun little management game. Short and sweet - perfect for a game jam 🙂 My only suggestion would be to name your zip file the name of your game - that way when downloading many games at a time I can tell which is game is which. Other than that really good job! |
| Aug 2 10:19:58 | 6m 50s | Devious Plant Commando | ♥ 1 | Cool concept! I didn't realize enemies become more tolerant to your guns to more you shoot them until I read the page, I think it would have been cool if that was more obvious in the game. I still enjoyed going around shooting plants nevertheless 🙂 Nice work! |
| Aug 2 10:36:02 | 16m 04s | Robo Power | ♥ 0 | Really great job! Lovely aesthetic, clever puzzles, great use of the theme! I really like that you are basically programming the robot - it's a very unique input method. Best game LD93 game I've played yet 🙂 |
| Aug 2 10:40:51 | 4m 49s | Peak Oil | ♥ 1 | Cool idea, not exactly my favorite genre, but interesting nonetheless. Nice clean graphics |
| Aug 2 10:45:38 | 4m 47s | MotherBoard | ♥ 1 | Really creative take on the theme! Although I think the if movement speed & turn rate were increased the game would be a lot more fun. Nice work nonetheless! |
| Aug 2 12:49:55 | 2h 04m | Power Sphere | ♥ 2 | Interesting concept, but I think the player's movement speed was much too slow to create interesting gameplay, as well as the speed of the rising platforms. If you get cornered by several enemies you are pretty much instantly dead, which isn't the best feeling either. I like the colours used, and the low poly style definitely worked well. |
| Aug 2 13:10:00 | 20m 05s | Icebroken | ♥ 1 | Really nice entry, I loved the style and the gameplay was very enticing. If only it was a little easier - I couldn't beat it even after maybe half a dozen attempts. Still loved it though - great work! |
| Aug 2 13:14:32 | 4m 32s | Mining Brothers: An Energetic Tale | ♥ 2 | Neat visual style, and a very unique main mechanic! I like the idea - but unfortunately every time I played I ran into the side of a track because I jumped too late and was stuck forever, so I had to restart the game. Really a shame, as I would have liked to see the later parts of the game but couldn't. Still, nice work 🙂 |
| Aug 2 13:18:15 | 3m 43s | Lola's Barkade | ♥ 1 | Really unique idea, and nice graphical style! Unfortunately the game spat out a big error window on the first playthrough, but other than that this is a nice entry 🙂 It's a bit tough, but still enjoyable. |
| Aug 2 13:33:18 | 15m 03s | tropix 🌴 | ♥ 2 | Nice theming, cute graphics and SFX. I have never found photo taking games to be all that enticing but this is a nice entry nonetheless 🙂 |
| Aug 2 13:39:02 | 5m 44s | Zombies and RVs | ♥ 1 | Really good looking game, fast paced aciton. I appreciate you showing controls in game - not enough jam games do that. My only complaint would be that jumping felt a little flaky sometimes. Nice graphics and sound design though! Great entry 🙂 |
| Aug 2 13:50:45 | 11m 43s | Woundlings | ♥ 0 | Lovely graphical style, and interesting little details hidden throughout the game! It took a little getting used to moving the little dinos around, but once I did it was a fun thing to play through 🙂 |
| Aug 2 13:53:00 | 2m 15s | Durst | ♥ 1 | Nice little game. Really liked the sounds each thing made, not your typical chiptune SFX. Also unique and interesting combat mechanics, overall a nice entry! 🙂 |
| Aug 2 14:01:44 | 8m 44s | Geocentric Survival | ♥ 1 | Very unique mechanic, well executed! This seems like a game that would take at least a few hours playing to fully master, which is impressive since it was made in 48 hours! Nice work 🙂 |
| Aug 2 14:07:38 | 5m 54s | Running Voltgun | ♥ 1 | Truly an immense amount of content to be made in a single weekend! Very polished looking/feeling. Really looks like a classic shooter, with even a bit more juice added in. Lovely use of the theme as well 🙂 Great entry! |
| Aug 2 14:16:55 | 9m 17s | Escapade ! | ♥ 1 | Is it possible to beat this game? I tried many times and could never find said hot air balloon. Still a very enjoyable game. Impressive that you went for procedural generation in a game jam! It worked out though, this is a nice entry. Good job! |
| Aug 2 14:21:18 | 4m 23s | Ministry of Synthesis | ♥ 1 | Really nice concept, and very well executed 🙂 I found the controls slightly hard to remember, but I guess it's tough to map three things to the keyboard like that. Loved the pixel art style, and the game seemed very polished! Nice entry |
| Aug 2 14:29:14 | 7m 56s | HELLTRAIN | ♥ 0 | Fun little game! Nice hand-painted style graphics, cool concept. Would've been great with a little background music but oh well. |
| Aug 2 14:34:59 | 5m 45s | THIRST | ♥ 1 | Unique take on the theme! I liked the art style and the idea was neat. It would have been even better if the game looked at where you can go and would give you at least one piece that you can move along. Still a nice entry 🙂 |
| Aug 2 14:39:31 | 4m 32s | Titan LD39 Compo | ♥ 2 | I like the idea, but I think the camera on the little man is too zoomed in, causing the player to be unable to tell where to go to defend their titan. It would be fun if I actually had enough time to get into a seat, but I didn't feel that. I also wasn't sure what the seat in the middle-left did, since left clicking seemed to have no action. Still, good work 🙂 |
| Aug 2 15:02:13 | 22m 42s | Runner Out Of Power | ♥ 0 | Cool idea, never seen anything like it before. Simple style, but it works. One thing which would have made me want to play a lot longer is shortening the respawn time. As it is now I have to sit and wait for maybe 3 whole seconds before I can try again, which is a bit agonizing in such a difficult game. Here's a good source on some different death systems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WyalnKQIpg Good work though! |
| Aug 2 15:12:42 | 10m 29s | Assault//Battery | ♥ 0 | Really fun entry! 🙂 The animation of the guy is very smooth, and he really feels weighty. Great work! Nice background track as well. |
