| Aug 1 19:27:50 | The Last Light | ♥ 1 | This was a good game overall. I mostly liked the art and that how it was polished, with the lighting providing some atmosphere to the particle showers when you kill a spirit. I also liked that you didn't really take a basic interpretation of the theme, and that you used it in an innovative way. However, I did not like the game's lack of growing difficulty and after some time, the gameplay started to feel kind of trite and boring. In conclusion, I liked this game's polish and creativity, but I think the difficulty aspects needs some improvement. | |
| Aug 2 20:10:03 | 24h 42m | Day and Night - 2D Game (mac/windows) | ♥ 1 | This game was great and fun to play! I liked that your way of conveying the theme was pretty innovative and that it only requires a mouse to play. I also liked that the game seemed very polished and didn't have any evident bugs and glitches, which is kind of rare for Ludum Dare entries. One fact that I didn't like about the game however, was that players couldn't restart the game after they failed. In conclusion, this game is a polished and not rushed innovative work for casual players to enjoy. P.S. Graphics and Audio should be opted out. In the rules, it says that if a developer didn't fully make the graphics and audio, those categories should be opted out. In addition, you might want to opt out of humor too, as this game does not seem like it was meant to be humorous. Great game and thanks for rating and playing my game! |
| Aug 2 20:31:51 | 21m 48s | Bottled Lightning | ♥ 1 | The game could use some improvement. First of all, the difficulty of the game is extremely hard. Second, the game was confusing and I didn't really get what to do. One concept that I did like about the game though is that I could tell it was a unique and innovative concept. In conclusion, when making a game around a unique concept for Ludum Dare, developers should get one or more people to playtest the game to see if they can understand what to do and if the game is too hard. If this game is your first Ludum Dare entry, nice job :) |
| Aug 2 21:16:32 | 44m 41s | Sunseeker | ♥ 2 | This game was very interesting! I particularly liked the 3D low poly graphics and the smooth animations! I also liked the game's interesting timeless music that is very nice to listen to. However, the controls needs some improvement and they make the game sort of hard to play and have fun. In conclusion, great job with the visual aesthetics and audio, but the control configuration needs improvement. |
| Aug 2 22:00:10 | 43m 38s | Tax Rebel | ♥ 1 | This game is extremely good! This game's unique stealth mechanics (like the enemy's field of vision is sometimes 120 degrees or 360 degrees and also the pathfinding is pretty creative too) is awesome! The game's intro scene is also pretty funny! However, the theme in this game isn't really used that much and it could have been used to make the game even cooler(like there are lights in the level and the lights start to dim when you steal power, making it harder for the player to see). However, this game is a solid piece of good work and I am impressed! |
| Aug 2 23:58:05 | 1h 57m | Shield Defender | ♥ 2 | Nice game, especially for a first game! I liked the low poly art and also the polish of the game (the particle effects, the rotation of the asteroids, and the way the generator goes down when killed). I also liked the soundtracks and sound effects of the game. However, I think the concept behind the game isn't exactly original, and you could customize it to make it your own by adding powerups. I understand that a game made under 48 hours will have the bare mininum of features, but if you are going to expand the game (I strongly recommend it), consider adding powerups to spice and flavor the gameplay. P.S. If the game wasn't meant to be humorous, it is possible to opt out of the category. Also, on itch.io, tag the game as a ld submission and send the url of the ld submission page so players playing on itch.io can see your ld page. Lastly, give your game a thumbnail. The thumbnail is the only one input field where you can put just one image. The guy above my comment mentioned this too. |
| Aug 3 00:16:51 | 18m 46s | Powerless: Trump Teaches Typing | ♥ 1 | This game is really good! I liked how this game portrayed the theme(instead of power being electricity its capability). I also liked the audio (I caught a hint of the Star Spangled Banner in the audio)! Do keep in mind though that Trump supporters might get offended by this game and will rate it badly. I hope your game gets scored highly though :) Edit: Please do add a screen in the game telling the player how to play. I struggled with learning how to play. Only when I looked at the instructions below I realized how to play. At the very least, please put the instructions on this LD page. Cheers! |
| Aug 3 03:20:04 | 3h 03m | Spacy adventure | ♥ 1 | This game is pretty interesting. It was fun and was easy to pickup and learn how to play but hard to put down as there is a surprising amount of depth put into the game by useful content, no fillers indeed! I also liked the unusual use of the theme in that the player starts running out of power when he/she moves or shoots. I honestly think that you should make the soundtrack of the game better and have multiple different sounds for shots as the sounds of the shots sound exactly the same every time the player shoots. Overall, this game is a pretty good game for a Ludum Dare entry but could use some improvement in audio. |
| Aug 3 03:34:43 | 14m 39s | Lantern | ♥ 1 | This game is pretty good. I liked the game's innovation in where the theme is strongly related to the central mechanic of the game, but does not overcomplicate gameplay. I also like the mood portrayed by the game as the sounds and graphics provide a scary atmosphere towards the game. Though the graphics were an essential component towards the atmosphere, I didn't like that some graphics were just scribbles, especially the ground. In conclusion, this game used the theme in an unusual way and provides a scary atmosphere, but the graphics could use some improvement. |
| Aug 3 03:49:58 | 15m 15s | Defend Home: Mars | ♥ 1 | Nice job on this game! I liked the game's use of the theme, especially in that the theme does not overcomplicate the gameplay, but is instead essential to the goal of the game. I also liked the game's 3D art and UI. Please note that you probably should opt out of humor as this game doesn't seem like it was meant to be funny. In conclusion, this game was pretty decent in terms of art and gameplay, but you really should opt out of humor. |
| Aug 3 04:05:34 | 15m 36s | Torch Boy | ♥ 2 | This game was very good. It was challenging, but very addicting. I also liked the use of the theme in that the theme is essential to the game, but doesn't overcomplicate the gameplay. Though the sound effects were good, this game could have been better if it had a moody soundtrack. In conclusion, I liked this game's addicting unique gameplay, but it could have been better if it had some music. |
| Aug 3 20:53:45 | 16h 48m | Death of a Mage | ♥ 0 | This is a pretty good game. I liked the soundtrack of the game (how do you compose such good music?) and the sound effects were pretty realistic. I also liked how the theme was used in that you interpreted power as skills in the game instead of electricity. I didn't like that the gameplay kind of got boring along the way as it was repetitive and didn't really require skills or strategy (I just used the ice beam for the whole game). In conclusion, this game is pretty decent for its awesome audio and use of the theme, but I wish the gameplay wasn't so repetitive. P.S. Thanks for rating my game! |
| Aug 3 21:08:04 | 14m 19s | No Sorcerer's Sky | ♥ 1 | I can tell that this game seems good. However, I couldn't have any fun because I didn't understand how to play it, even though I read the instructions you wrote on this LD page. I did like the niceness of the audio though and how it made me feel calm. I also thought the graphics and the UI were great too. In conclusion, the graphics and audio intrigued me to play this game but the lack of proper clear instructions made me quit very quickly. |
| Aug 3 21:50:41 | 42m 37s | Wayside : A world awaits you | ♥ 0 | This game is decent. I liked the nice and simple art style. I also liked the mood that is portrayed in the game by the art and audio. Despite these benefits, the game lacks humor and I strongly recommend for you to opt out of the category (as this game doesn't seem to be like it was meant to be funny). In conclusion, I liked the art and mood of the game, but I suggest you to opt out of the humor category. |
| Aug 3 22:10:57 | 20m 16s | Pipe Trek | ♥ 0 | This game is good. I like the graphical style and how the game looked from UI to the sprites. I also liked the mood of the game and how some sound effects create urgency for the player to hurry and try to finish the puzzles as fast as they can. However, I am not sure how this game really relates to the theme, as the theme was running out of power, but in this game, you are just rerouting power. In conclusion, this game is pretty decent in terms of graphics and mood, but I just wish it was related more to the theme. |
| Aug 3 22:25:33 | 14m 36s | Mad Trax | ♥ 3 | This game is pretty nice. First of all, I liked the innovation of the game and that you guys combined the whole tower defense, infinite runner, and resource management genres together. I also liked the Western soundtrack as it was interesting to listen to and it wasn't repetitive unlike other Ludum Dare entries. I however strongly suggest you guys to opt out of humor as this game doesn't seem like it was meant to be funny. In conclusion, I like your guys' creativity explosion and audio, but you should really opt out of humor. |
| Aug 3 22:44:01 | 18m 28s | Shekateka | ♥ 1 | This game is impressive. I liked the innovation of the game in where you have to be in an area in order to be able to shoot. I also liked the graphical art style and polish of the game. Though the game is pretty funny (especially with how the zombies look like and more importantly sound like) I feel it could be funnier if the main character said some witty funny comments. In conclusion, I liked the creativity and polished art style of this compo entry, but this game has the potential of being even more humorous. |
| Aug 3 22:56:24 | 12m 23s | Powerless Miner | ♥ 1 | This game is decent. I liked how you made the theme essential to the main core of the game, but it didn't overcomplicate gameplay. I also thought this game was fun as it required the player to think about their strategy in how they were going to collect the gold. I however thought the soundtrack was too repetitive and would like a less repetitive and better soundtrack. In conclusion, this was a pretty good game because the theme was used wisely in gameplay and the gameplay contained many challenging puzzles, but the audio needs improvement. |
| Aug 3 23:10:56 | 14m 32s | CowPow! | ♥ 1 | This game is good. I liked how you used the theme wisely and didn't overcomplicate gameplay, but still made the theme essential to the game. I also liked the innovation of the concept behind the game. I have never in my life seen a game about UFOs kidnapping cows. Though the concept was kind of humorous, I think it could have been funnier if more funny cow soundeffects were added. Overall, this game is good because the theme was used wisely and the concept behind the game is pretty creativity, but this game could have been more humorous. |
| Aug 3 23:20:35 | 9m 39s | Lost Soul | ♥ 3 | This game is pretty good! I liked the soundtrack of the game as it sounded nice. The audio and graphics strongly contribute to create a creepy atmosphere! Though the game was fun, it could have been more fun if the player had more power or if the power didn't drain so fast. In conclusion, I liked the audio and mood of the game but I felt the game could be more fun if it was less challenging. |
| Aug 3 23:30:44 | 10m 09s | Scale of Life | ♥ 3 | This game is pretty decent. I liked the creativity behind the concept of the game. I also liked the simple but polished graphical style of the game. I however, am not sure how this relates to the theme as a form of power is not even metioned at all in this game. In conclusion, this game is good because it is innovative and has great art, but it doesn't relate to the theme at all. |
| Aug 3 23:47:05 | 16m 21s | Yet Another Exhausted Day | ♥ 0 | This game is awesome! I liked that this game is challenging and addicting. I also thought the game was funny as the main character literally has to drag himself out of bed to go towards the door. Though the sound effects were great, this game lacked some soft background music that could have even added more flavor to the audio. In conclusion, this is a fun and funny game but it could have used some music. |
| Aug 4 00:07:16 | 20m 11s | Tiny Warlock | ♥ 1 | I don't like this game. The game world is way too small and the screen is pretty much literally covered with white stuff all the time, and I couldn't even see my own character. Despite this flaw, one concept that I did like about the game is that it was creative in that health and ammo are the same. In conclusion, I didn't like this game because the art is too visually hectic, but I did like the innovation behind the concept of the game. P.S. I strongly suggest you to opt out of the humor category as this game doesn't seem like it was intended to be funny. |
