| Aug 7 04:20:14 | Take Me Home | ♥ 1 | Liked the prototype and I know how it feels to run out of time in these jams. I always have the same issue with my entries. Thought it was a nice concept though and can see the potential in it with obstacles. Would have been nice to see the ship get attacked so you'd have to turn the shields on and if there was a deadline so you had to speed the ship up while not under attack. | |
| Aug 7 04:34:46 | 14m 32s | My Dream | ♥ 1 | Always enjoy seeing what you come up with and like how each of your entries feels unique from the ones before. The writing in this was really nicely done and the surreal aspect of it was great at setting the mood. Liked that atmosphere of the public bus ride where everyone is so involved with their own phones and you see the same people but have no connections. Was well conveyed. The battery graphic at the top was also nicely done in twine. Always wanted to try twine and this just makes me want to try it even more. |
| Aug 7 04:41:09 | 6m 23s | The Truth | ♥ 1 | This was a nice clever entry. Liked the joke at the end thought it was well done. Also like how it was such a small idea done extremely well. Nice polish and mood. |
| Aug 7 04:55:54 | 14m 45s | Ministry of Synthesis | ♥ 1 | Such an impressive entry, liked the amount of thought you put into this and the whole mechanic was such a great interpretation of the theme. Did think it got a bit to hard to quick and I struggled with the later puzzles cause I don't think I'd completely understood how everything worked. Would be nice to see a further updated version with more of an ease into the harder parts but for a Ludum Dare jam with such a small time window, I'm extremely impressed at how polished this feels. Congrats on a great entry, one of my favourites so far. |
| Aug 7 05:05:52 | 9m 58s | Fuse Cell | ♥ 2 | The graphics in this are fantastic. Took a few goes for me to get the flow of the gameplay mechanics but once I did it was really interesting. Liked the recharge mechanic and how it was used. Thought it was a nice touch to distinguish it from other shootemups. That final Rook boss was quite difficult but I did manage to defeat him as eventually he stopped shooting at me which made it easier to attack. Assume the no shooting was a bug though. |
| Aug 7 05:14:10 | 8m 18s | The Visible City | ♥ 0 | Very nice unique entry. Enjoyed the whole background story and thought it was well conveyed to the player with minimalist graphics. That map and music worked so well together and really increases the intensity of playing when you see an area disappear. Great entry. |
| Aug 7 05:28:18 | 14m 08s | Exodus | ♥ 0 | Interesting start and interested to see where you take this and how the story is expanded upon. Liked the whole atmosphere but did feel like the ending was a bit abrupt, although that's definitely understandable for a LDJAM game. Graphics were really nicely done and the quotes section in the menu was a funny personal touch which I liked reading through. |
| Aug 7 05:35:14 | 6m 56s | People are the power | ♥ 1 | Fun game, liked the way you interpreted the theme, thought that was well done. Was quite satisfying capturing the little people and seeing the screen clear out a little bit at a time. Did think the different weapons was also well thought out. Definite strengths to each one as you progress further. |
| Aug 15 13:10:37 | 199h 35m | Pain That Binds Us | ♥ 2 | Enjoyed the way you used the theme and how the game progressed with opening up more of the story as the player lots more and more power. Thought it was a interesting touch. The pixel art was nicely done and the close up photos worked well at conveying the story. |
| Aug 15 13:31:30 | 20m 53s | Flicker | ♥ 0 | Liked the story behind why the player is doing what they're doing. Thought it was quite humorous. The puzzles took a bit for me to figure out even after I read the instructions, never been good at understanding circuit boards but I did like the challenge. Was able to make it to the final one and think I'll have to try again later to see if I can finish it. Just wish it was a bit clearer in game how you do the puzzles. The art and music also worked well in setting the mood. |
| Aug 16 14:46:57 | 25h 15m | PowerCubeStationBox™ | ♥ 1 | Such a clever idea. Really enjoyed how you used the theme and the way the player had to not only play the game but control the machine they were playing on, was a nice touch. Also the battery running out so quickly worked well in being a frustrating mechanic but something that went with the overall theme and helped enforce it. Also liked that every side of the box had a control that you had to figure out and it wasn't all spelt out for the player with what they did but instead left you to explore. |
| Aug 16 14:59:32 | 12m 35s | The Defective One | ♥ 1 | The clean minimalist art was well done, liked the simple character design. As others have said I do wish the character movement was slightly tweaked to give a bit more control but can understand why you said you have done it the way you have. Would have also been nice to have had feedback for when your close enough to absorb energy. With the short time you get in these jams it was a nice entry and impressed that you used Godot for the engine. Liked that you also included an android version and looking forward to trying it when I get the chance, cause interested to see how it plays on mobile :) |
| Aug 16 15:06:53 | 7m 21s | daemon | ♥ 0 | Liked the visuals in this, thought the colour choices worked well and liked the character design. Did find the game a bit difficult for me at the start and wish it eased the player in a bit more earlier. |
| Aug 16 15:16:29 | 9m 36s | Oil Patrol | ♥ 1 | Enjoyed this game, liked the title screen font and the overall design of the character, sled and snowman. Thought it all worked really well together. Did seem to have a bug with the first spear I threw though, where I couldn't pick it back up from the floor. The use of the theme to keep the sled moving was also a nice touch. Interested to see what else you do with this to complete it more. |
| Aug 16 15:26:14 | 9m 45s | No Sign Of Life | ♥ 1 | Enjoyed this and liked that I was able to play it completely through in such a short time. The different scenes with their own unique information and look was nicely done and liked how the pellet system was used to increase the tension. |
| Aug 18 13:54:45 | 46h 28m | Heal The Dark Lord! | ♥ 1 | The art in this is great, loved the look of it with the font choices colours and character designs, all worked really well together. The concept was also an interesting humorous take on the. Only thing I wish was that there was more objects to pick up. Would be nice to read more descriptions cause I thought the text was a nice touch. |
| Aug 18 14:03:39 | 8m 54s | Extraction | ♥ 0 | One of my favourite entries so far this jam. Loved how polished and complete it felt to play. Liked how simple the mechanics are but how well they're done and that it keeps you playing more and more trying to get further each time. Also impressed at how much depth you were able to get in to something that at first seems so straight forward. Learnt to really manage my turrets and at times letting them get destroyed and repaired rather then risking getting hit. Fun fun entry, nice job. |
| Aug 18 14:19:27 | 15m 48s | Leaf Runner | ♥ 1 | Reminded me of the old GTA game which is always a good thing. Took me awhile playing before I figured out that the buying and selling could be done whenever you stop. Which made sense once I realised. Think the car controls could be tweaked a bit more to feel tighter and I was surprised with the reversing turns, expected the car to move the opposite way so it took some getting used to. Did have fun just driving around the city though and thought the look of the city with the mix of 2D and 3D was nicely done and implemented. |
| Aug 18 14:30:18 | 10m 51s | Sabotage | ♥ 0 | The art in this is really nice, reminds me of old Saul Bass movie posters in it's clean lines and clear design. I did find the gameplay a bit difficult to interpret so I did end up getting confused with what my clicking was doing. Would be nice if there was a little tutorial at the opening that could guide the player a bit more with what they're actions are doing and how they impact the power station. Overall a great looking unique entry that visually stands out from most other entries art styles I've played. |
| Aug 18 14:42:53 | 12m 35s | Static Man | ♥ 0 | Interesting game idea but did find that the entity appeared to quickly so you didn't get much of a chance to survive. Would be nice as you mentioned, if they only came in once you'd been playing for a bit, to give you sometime to explore before it all begins happening. Liked the mood with the visuals and theme, thought it all worked well together to support the story. |
| Aug 18 15:03:36 | 20m 43s | Siphon With Style | ♥ 0 | Nice simple mechanic well executed. Do wish the movement was a bit smoother but was still able to play and achieve victory which was fun to do. Liked how the enemies kept increasing as you collected more continuum rips. |
| Aug 18 22:26:27 | 7h 22m | The Music Box | ♥ 1 | Great entry, loved the art in this and the walk animation looked great. Really nice design which was complimented by the music. The story was a nice interpretation of the theme which worked well, liked that as you played and replayed you had more information so slowly learnt the order that you needed to visit things. Also liked that you did a post jam version where you added the nice little touches of just being able to interact your character with more objects such as the table and chairs. Thought that helped in adding more character. |
| Aug 19 05:03:37 | 6h 37m | FILEFICTION | ♥ 1 | Liked that you had different endings, which made me go back and try to see what else would be said with different selections. The art was also nicely done, think it worked well in setting the operating system vibe. Wish playthroughs were a bit longer but it's definitely a great start. |
| Aug 19 05:46:42 | 43m 05s | Asolar | ♥ 1 | Interesting take on the theme where you are actually trying to bring the power down. Liked the variety in the buildings and did feel like there was good strategy with the usage of 1,2,3,4 as you progress and it feels more up. |
| Aug 19 06:04:38 | 17m 56s | The Shutdown | ♥ 2 | Liked how much depth you went into with the whole story. Did have an issue at first playthrough where the game seemed to freeze in the first battle tutorial. Restarted and second time it played through okay. The fighting mechanic was also nicely implemented. |
| Aug 19 06:19:40 | 15m 02s | THIRST | ♥ 0 | Enjoyed this and impressed at how polished it all feels. One of the most polished entries I've played so far. Liked the art a lot and the humorous vibe it all seemed to have. Also a nice touch that you've made it in a way that modding is possible. |
| Aug 19 12:27:39 | 6h 07m | Downpour | ♥ 1 | This was really clever, enjoyed the concept and liked how you interpreted the theme. One of my favourite interpretations so far. Only wish it was longer cause was fun to play and see how far I could get the flame. Would be nice to see more difficulties in later levels but for a first Ludumd Dare it's definitely impressive. A lot more then my first effort :) |
| Aug 19 12:44:01 | 16m 22s | Brass Garrison | ♥ 0 | This has so much going on, a lot more depth then I first expected which is quite impressive for such a short jam. I did seem to have trouble at times rotate objects in the puzzles so not sure what was going on there. But liked how it was a puzzle game with platforming. One suggestion is to also have arrow keys be usable as I'm left handed and on laptops it is uncomfortable to play with WASD. Also maybe remove the jump all together and just have the jetpack instead :) |
| Aug 19 13:13:11 | 29m 10s | Rats will kiss the gunner's daughter | ♥ 2 | Clever use of the theme and liked how much dialogue and character you were able to get into each pirate. Made replaying that much nicer. Was able to find the mutineer first go so was quite proud of myself for figuring out some of what was being said to me and the choices I was making with the coins. The art was great and worked well in making the game friendly to play. |
| Aug 19 13:22:52 | 9m 41s | HE BEAT HER. | ♥ 1 | The art in this is fantastic, so impressed at how much nice art you were able to get in and the music in this compliments it so well. Did struggle at times trying to figure out what to type but impressed at how many different results you were able to get in. Such a polished entry for a first Ludum Dare, congrats. |
| Aug 19 13:38:04 | 15m 12s | Zombies and RVs | ♥ 1 | Graphics and music are great and worked well in setting the mood for the zombie gameplay. Liked that you could jump from RV to RV also. Allowed me to start on the first RV and then when getting overrun to just jump on the next one and try and make up some more ground again which worked as a strategy. |
| Aug 19 13:44:14 | 6m 10s | Running the Marathon | ♥ 1 | Liked that you pushed the marathon aspect and interested to find out if anyone completes the full marathon and what would happen if they did. I don't have that much patience :) only got upto a few miles before I had to stop. The simple art is so nicely done. Loved the run animation and that it actually reacts to the speed also, was a nice touch. |
| Aug 19 13:54:01 | 9m 47s | Sleepy Orphan Simulator | ♥ 1 | My favourite entry so far, loved it. Thought it was so humorous and such a unique take on the theme. Also extremely polished and has so much depth for what at first just seems like something funny. Loved the charming challenge to the adults thought that was well done and the control of the different body parts was great. So much fun to just play around and see how the little guy would move. Great job so good. |
| Aug 19 14:04:06 | 10m 05s | Engolasters January 2021 | ♥ 0 | The art in this is great, loved the walk animation thought it was really polished. Everything about this game worked so well together. The only thing that felt a bit off was the car movement. The story was really well written and liked that it was told in different ways, with the phone calls and discoveries. |
| Aug 19 14:12:07 | 8m 01s | Trough The Desert | ♥ 0 | Was fun that you got to build your ship at the start before beginning. Would be nice if the movement was tightened a bit so you'd get more feedback as you fly but it's a good start. The ship colours also worked well in the setting. |
| Aug 19 14:21:51 | 9m 44s | Driving home | ♥ 0 | Liked the aesthetics in this, thought they worked really well in bringing that nostalgic old school vibe of family trips with the gameboy. Was a nice surprise after playing and looking out the window again :) Music was great also. |
| Aug 19 14:26:03 | 4m 12s | Cities | ♥ 1 | Such a simple idea perfectly executed, loved the art in this and how minimalist it was but how much it was able to get across. The control of the lights worked so well and was a challenge at times to manage which really emphasised the story. |
| Aug 19 14:31:04 | 5m 01s | Breaking Down | ♥ 1 | Liked how by just removing the jump button that we normally expect in a platformer you were able to make that lack of jump an actual gameplay mechanic. Was interesting to have to look at the whole and try to figure out the best way to approach the layout. The art and music also were nicely done and made this feel like a polished entry. |
| Aug 19 14:40:04 | 9m 00s | Last Shine | ♥ 0 | Had fun with this and was nice to remember the old days of going to the arcade and playing the tmnt, simpsons and x-men beat'em up games. Was a well done homage to them, with its sound effects and art. Also the ending was a nice funny surprise. |
| Aug 19 14:50:33 | 10m 29s | Pokkie | ♥ 1 | Liked the whole vibe of this. I did a mobile for my entry too but so nice to see how different this is with its mood. The colours used are great and the camera usage allowing you to set the background was such a nice touch. Also that flappy bird game is great :) Liked that the battery was at 12% when it suddenly died, makes it more believable. |
| Aug 19 14:58:58 | 8m 25s | air mail | ♥ 0 | So nice and soothing to just fly around. Liked how delivering the letters was this calming job and that there was real contrast between the walking and flying. The sound effect for the walk was also pretty cute. Some of my favourite visuals this ludum dare. |
| Aug 19 15:07:49 | 8m 51s | Unlit | ♥ 1 | The minimal colours and aesthetics worked really well in this. Liked the gameplay mechanic and how difficult it was to make your way past all the spikes. Fun challenge. The checkpoints was a nice saver cause even though it was difficult it never felt too punishing to the player in that as you made past hard parts you got that little head start each time. |
| Aug 19 15:17:30 | 9m 41s | There's No Place Like Home | ♥ 1 | The colours in this are great, loved the visual vibe going on. Did have issues where at times as I was pulling the cord the wire would disappear and I'd be left with just the plug. Which for me was good cause it meant I could carry it wherever I wanted but did seem to be a bug. The forcefield looked really good when it came in and charged up. |
| Aug 19 15:27:14 | 9m 44s | Death's Helper | ♥ 1 | Had to play the updated version cause the other link didn't work for me. Nice simple game for a first effort with Unity. Think the character could move a bit slower so he doesn't fly around the screen as much and might help stopping the falling into walls bug. Good use of the theme. |
| Aug 19 15:36:19 | 9m 05s | The King's Saviour | ♥ 0 | The horse animation is lovely in this, made the gameplay that much better having such nice movement. Liked the challenge of running while also having to at times, jump and shot. Think the camera could be tweaked and tightened cause at times I'd pull back and it would completely flick which was pretty disorienting. The story was nice and simple but also different from the typical king being the hero so liked the role reversal in this from what is generally expected in these. |
| Aug 19 16:18:05 | 41m 46s | Dorgus Needs Power! | ♥ 1 | Fun addictive game. Do wish you had a few hits before losing so you could get some longer games going. But the quick restarts definitely helped with the replayability. |
| Aug 19 16:23:59 | 5m 54s | Quoala | ♥ 1 | The writing in this was well done, liked that the dialogue felt so real and that there was consequences for your actions. Gave it that mood of being in a car going somewhere and trying to figure out whether you should listen to the GPS or someone else in the car. The clean visuals also worked really well in this context. |
| Aug 19 16:39:42 | 15m 43s | Super Helpful Man: An Old Man Super Hero Handy Man Simulator | ♥ 1 | The voice acting in this is great, really enjoyed the dialogue and listening to it. Although did feel like the intro might have been a little bit to long before getting into the gameplay. The story was nice and interesting and made me keep playing through the game to see what would happen to our hero. |
| Aug 20 03:29:38 | 10h 49m | Icebroken | ♥ 1 | The boat design and layout was nicely done and the art was great at complimenting the gameplay. Liked how you had to many so many different elements but it was all clearly advised to the player. |
| Aug 20 03:45:24 | 15m 46s | Overcharged | ♥ 1 | Such a fun game, liked how simple it was but how well executed it all was brought together. The art worked well in presenting the story and the use of the theme was nice and different. Liked that you had to try and not kill anyone instead of the usual. Also was addictive and short enough that it kept me playing till I'd completed with a good ending. |
| Aug 20 03:48:17 | 2m 53s | Little Light | ♥ 0 | Liked the idea behind this and the way you interpreted the theme. Was great concept. Did have issues with it being a bit dark and the controls being a bit loose with the movement. Also the screen was small on laptop but think that might of been that I had it on too high a resolution. The flame are is great though, well designed and got the concept across in its clear visuals. |
| Aug 20 04:16:01 | 27m 44s | Despotism 3k | ♥ 2 | Really enjoyed this one, such a well done polished entry. Liked how the management felt like there was different strategies that could be used to pass the levels. The level difficulty also progessed at a really good difficulty where you felt like you learnt the best tactics to approach as you went along. |
| Aug 20 04:24:06 | 8m 05s | Supernode | ♥ 0 | The art in this is great, so clean and well done. The colours work so well with the clean minimalist visuals. Did struggle at first to connect the nodes and not sure why that was happening, but once I got it going it was really nice to play. Very polished entry. |
| Aug 20 07:30:27 | 3h 06m | Unplugged | ♥ 1 | Great use of the theme, liked how you brought in the players usage of their own laptop, was a nice personal touch. Also found it pretty addictive and played a lot longer then I'd intended to. Nice job. |
| Aug 20 08:29:49 | 59m 22s | Ghost's End | ♥ 0 | Beautiful looking interactive artwork. Absolutely loved the visuals of this and how everything moved. Spent quite a lot of time playing with this and seeing what things I could see. Impressive work. |
| Aug 20 08:31:54 | 2m 05s | SPACEJAMMED | ♥ 0 | Liked the simple puzzle mechanic and how you took the slider puzzle and gave it more depth. The art and music worked really together and have to say my favourite thing was that title screen. The spaceship art and its motion were fantastic. |
| Aug 20 08:49:13 | 17m 19s | A Dwindling Hero | ♥ 0 | Nice use of the theme. Liked the way you had to decide how you would lose more abilities each level, just wish it had more of an impact cause at times it didn't seem obvious enough how it was impacting me. The short levels where a good thing in that it gave instant feedback to how I was going. I did notice that the leaderboard just kept saying loading for me at the end but never showed anything. Congrats on your first entry. |
| Aug 20 08:53:47 | 4m 34s | QTechnologic Quest | ♥ 1 | Sucks that you ran into issues at the end so weren't able to get in the other levels but I think this is a good start. Gets the concept across and can see how the longer game would play. Liked the finish screen, thought it was great. |
| Aug 20 09:02:06 | 8m 19s | AEOS | ♥ 1 | Liked the poly art thought it was nicely done and conveyed the calming atmosphere of the game really well, especially with its colour choices. Definitely gave me the Witness vibe which in my books is always a good thing. |
| Aug 20 10:01:34 | 59m 28s | Crankship Courier | ♥ 0 | Nice graphics, liked the design of the ships. Did find the controls a bit difficult to get used to at first as it wasn't what I'd been expecting. Good how you eased the player into the game though as I think this allowed me to learn how the controls worked. |
| Aug 20 10:14:14 | 12m 40s | Dream Disc | ♥ 1 | Beautiful game that is extremely well executed. Took me a few minutes to realise how it all worked but once I did I really started to enjoy it. Was so satisfying getting the shots ricocheting. The clean sound design also complimented it all so well and helped emphasis the atmosphere. |
| Aug 21 13:44:59 | 27h 30m | Super Starcade PANIC | ♥ 1 | Fun game, enjoyed the use of the theme. Thought the art and music worked really well together and liked that you went for the 80s vibe, great era to set an arcade in. As others have mentioned it would be great if there was more variety to do while the games are going but since this is a jam I can definitely understand and this is so polished for what you have been able to get it. In my first go I was only able to get $600 but I'm getting there :) |
