| Jul 31 03:10:22 | Reverse Thrust | ♥ 0 | Cool game, with unconventional, but learnable controlls. Made the first place :-D I loved the thrusters, reminded me of babylon 5. | |
| Jul 31 03:25:08 | 14m 46s | Micro Mayhem | ♥ 1 | Funny racer with hyper-sensitive controls. Made the 3 rounds, which was a hard task. |
| Jul 31 15:44:27 | 12h 19m | Decaying Card Game | ♥ 1 | I liked the game, at some point you beginn to use strategic and safe the mightiest cards for later. Would have been great to have the number of turns you last displayed. |
| Jul 31 15:59:34 | 15m 07s | Exodus: Fleet Commander | ♥ 1 | After each jump I landed at the starting screen, don´t know if this was intended. Also I got no feedback of my 30min Missions to scout for fuel. I´m a fan of battlestar galactica, I guess your approach on the theme is inspired there. Good idea! It´s a pitty that you had to work on monday (I took a day of holiday :-D), music would have added much to the game. The graphics where very suitable and good. |
| Jul 31 16:32:42 | 33m 08s | DONNIE_VR | ♥ 1 | Great 80s style. |
| Jul 31 17:13:57 | 41m 15s | Crystal Rush | ♥ 1 | Very pretty game with a impressive amount of content. Reminded me of Terraria. Failed to get the last big Crystal harvested. |
| Jul 31 21:21:13 | 4h 07m | HellOnEarth | ♥ 1 | Liked the hitting feedback with the huge loads of blood spilled, generally, the pixel art was great. The gameplay is very good and racy. Made a quite similar game for this LD (with the difference that you are a demon). |
| Jul 31 21:30:44 | 9m 31s | Tycoon | ♥ 1 | I think you totally reached your goal of having a unique mechanic - five points in Innovation for sure! |
| Jul 31 21:39:48 | 9m 04s | Teslabus | ♥ 0 | Simple and fun. As Johnny said, to eliminate the luck factor, a bigger view would have been good. |
| Jul 31 21:53:38 | 13m 50s | Enter the dark tunnel | ♥ 0 | Well, I always enjoy a zombie setting. Merrying it with cookie clicker works out surprisingly well. Good executed with the dark tunnel, you really can feel how they are in your neck - especially when you hear them! I had my problems to figure out which improvements are for what. |
| Jul 31 22:02:32 | 8m 54s | Star Dodger Elite | ♥ 0 | Interesting experience with the controls. |
| Jul 31 22:21:19 | 18m 47s | Jeff Long Run | ♥ 0 | Puh, thats hard, couldn´t beat the second level. |
| Aug 1 07:37:42 | 9h 16m | Socketbound | ♥ 1 | Good graphics and nice animations. Tried sveral times, but i couldn´t get behind the second room with all the spikes. I didn´t see any patern in it and sometimes it seemed to be impossible to get over it by their activating order. Very sorry for that, would have loved to play it further. So I also couldn´t find any collectibles :-/ |
| Aug 1 07:52:00 | 14m 18s | Wind-Up Knight | ♥ 1 | Nice concept! The roboter reminds me of Calculon out of Futurama :-D |
| Aug 1 08:04:13 | 12m 13s | The Last Frontier | ♥ 1 | Some polishing would have been good here. Huge level, although a little bit empty. There is something with the collision detection, you can get stucked sometimes when the charakter should fall down. Couldn´t load the turrent by pressing E. |
| Aug 1 08:13:56 | 9m 43s | Take Me Home | ♥ 0 | Nice concept and idea, sad that you ran out of time, there would have been great potential. There is a lack of challenge in the game as it is so far, tried to fail on the game several times, but even by doing nothing you get to home. |
| Aug 1 08:51:16 | 37m 20s | Space Jam | ♥ 1 | As Turrus said, the direction you are looking would have been very important. Good entry, there is a lot of going on in space here, and as a bonus there is a short nice intro. The graphics are fine too (I wonder why you didn´t enable the rating for it). |
| Aug 1 09:01:04 | 9m 48s | The Defective One | ♥ 1 | Great graphics, I love the "easy-looking-but-hard-to-master" drawing style as the clear overall design. The game itself is very challenging, but after a while you get into it, and hunting the enemy drones. Thanks for the good entry! |
| Aug 1 09:27:12 | 26m 08s | Bequeath | ♥ 1 | Innovative concept, liked it a lot! The game controls are excellent and very direct. The graphics are simple kept but moody. With the idea probably you can do a lot, would have been great to have more levels that explore the fresh concept. If I want to critisize, I would mention that the level feels slightly too big. |
| Aug 1 17:17:10 | 7h 49m | Running from Power | ♥ 1 | Nice game with a twisty approach on the theme! Liked the mechanic with the mob following you. Graphics and animations are very smooth. Cool intro by the way. |
| Aug 1 20:15:13 | 2h 58m | Thunderstorm | ♥ 0 | Great game with excellent sound FX. |
| Aug 1 20:30:19 | 15m 06s | Power lines down! | ♥ 0 | Great game, I always salute if someone is able to make a puzzler in the short time of the LD! Excellent done! |
| Aug 1 20:42:27 | 12m 08s | Outside | ♥ 1 | Astounding how you created the mood with perfekt sound FX and... geometrical objects :-) Beyond the presentation there is also a very good puzzle gameplay. Great entry! |
| Aug 1 22:50:35 | 2h 08m | Power | ♥ 1 | Ended the game at 196 points. Took a while till you get your commands, after that some subtleties occur on the game; your bots can be destroyed and the power core blocks your shooting. A tutorial would have been great. |
| Aug 2 07:55:38 | 9h 05m | Orbiting Home | ♥ 3 | Wow, very impressive! There are many aspects in this game, fighting, orbit, movement on galaxy map, ressource mangagement, events, a tutorial... and everything seems very impressive. The graphics were fitting and the background music set a perfect mood. If I want to critisize, I had my problems to figure out when I was able to scan a planet, sometimes it worked, sometimes I was in a close orbit and it was not allowed. |
| Aug 2 09:00:28 | 1h 04m | Star Power | ♥ 1 | Very cool game! It´s always impressive to see games with a gameplay apart from platformer etc.. Liked especially the combination of cards and physics. It is really hard to estimate how your ship will fly, but there is a good learning curve. Graphics and sounds also score. |
| Aug 2 09:12:14 | 11m 46s | The Power Factory | ♥ 1 | Once you get behind what to do it was a very interesting game. It worked well and after a time you start thinking strategic, how to create a system with few nods to be fast removed wenn overheating is coming. Nice entry! |
| Aug 2 09:22:31 | 10m 17s | Into The Darkness | ♥ 1 | 85s lasted... The game lives from its mood, the dimishing lamp, the baleful sound and the battery getting lower is great. The dangling and sound wenn the battery gets real low creates good pressure on the player. I think this is quite the essence of the theme. Improvement would be possible in the gameplay itself: At the moment you are running in the hope to find battery, the only strategic I found was to run from edge to edge, then back one screen higher to avoid searching the same place twice. |
| Aug 2 09:41:02 | 18m 31s | The Wiz | ♥ 2 | Cool entry with a strange mood, a unusual colour sceme and a game which left much for interpretation on the story side (What was this "eye of sauron" on the left? What´s up with the lightning strikes?). The intro is great, the sound very fitting. I liked it a lot. |
| Aug 2 09:46:28 | 5m 26s | Dorgus Needs Power! | ♥ 1 | Very hard, but cool! Liked especially the baleful sound and the huge recoil of the weapon. Took me some time to figure out that nearly everything cost - double jumping, firing. This in combination with getting only 2 loads per battery (which is fading out fastly) and feeding dorgus makes it extremely tough to get more points at playing the game as simple feed the starting loads and die. But I was able to accomplish this at the end (ended at 17000) ;-) |
| Aug 2 10:23:57 | 37m 29s | The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol | ♥ 1 | Really nice entry, didn´t expect to make an IQ test in order to survive :-) The room architecture is great and the lack of textures give it some art style. Loved the dead bodys flying on the outside. Couldn´t beat the game for my own, cheated with the help of a seach engine, but I guess this is ok if one of the questions is refered to a cheating code itself ;-) Sound would have added much to the mood, but this is only a drop of bitterness. |
| Aug 2 11:54:01 | 1h 30m | Apocalypse | ♥ 0 | Yay! I destroyed the world! :-) Great entry, espesially if this is your first LD! Liked the different weapons (I think the lightning stroke had the best cost/effect ratio) and how you implemented the end of the game. |
| Aug 2 11:58:56 | 4m 55s | Don't be (the) patient | ♥ 0 | Cool little game with nice mechanic. Seemed to be very complete and polished. |
| Aug 2 12:10:30 | 11m 34s | Drainor | ♥ 1 | Hey, this was great fun! The gameplayy worked very well, the sound was fittable. I liked the good hitting feedback and some small details: Shots came out where the gun is, not straight of the middle of the player and rounds fall an the floor and there is a boss fight. A very round and fun entry. Good job! |
| Aug 2 12:18:52 | 8m 22s | Don't Get Fired! | ♥ 1 | Hehe, this is the first game I played that fully scores in humor! Very fun entry. This is how Homer Simpson mus feel. |
| Aug 2 13:15:03 | 56m 11s | The Infinite Mine | ♥ 1 | 4th place at the first attempt! Seeing how many people rated your game, I hope this does not mean most of the players don´t test properly :-/ To get to important things: Fun tower / defence game in space with a huge game area. Had great fun watching my defence crowing bigger and bigger in radius, zooming more and more out. A background music would have been great. Good job! |
| Aug 2 13:45:39 | 30m 36s | Mr Shoopashoop Is Not Very Smart | ♥ 1 | Challenging game, even after I remembered that there is a double jump. Could score 7 points max in my tries. Loved the moody graphic. |
| Aug 2 13:53:39 | 8m 00s | Blood In The Stars | ♥ 1 | Unique, epic mood. |
| Aug 2 14:03:32 | 9m 53s | The Box of Power | ♥ 2 | Sorry that this game wasn´t finished. The concept looks nice, the art is just fine and the story promised to get a warm parable. Keep on going with your construction site :-) |
| Aug 2 14:51:19 | 47m 47s | Veggie Power | ♥ 1 | Nice, but hard game with a fun thematic (I am a vegetarian by the way). Graphics are cute and the footstep sound is funny as the whole game is. The tutorial at the beginning doesn´t let a question open, mechanic, victory condition - perfect. I also liked the idea with the patterns. After restarting I had problems with picking up vegetable again, so I had to refresh the page (played it in the browser). Good entry! |
| Aug 3 06:45:44 | 15h 54m | Gradient Descent | ♥ 0 | The music is awsome. Had also played colorfly in LD 38, you can see some similarites (one improvement to the sucesssor for sure is, that at collecting an orb is a single note and doesn´t interfere with the rest of the game). I´m a fan of the telltale games, so it´s great to get some choices on the way (and to see what other people have selected). What I am missing is, that it is very loosely on the theme and some challenge. Despite of that: Smooth game, story cool, graphics and mood great, sound excellent. Good entry! |
| Aug 3 07:05:32 | 19m 48s | Interstellar Electric Inc. | ♥ 0 | Cool game, nice elements to build, self explaining during play, lightning strokes - nice! The sound of them was probably to heavy but this is only a minor point. The graphics were functional, enjoyed very much to get bigger and bigger plants and connecting them. |
| Aug 3 07:54:28 | 48m 56s | Lost Battery | ♥ 1 | I liked the textures and the sound. Would have been nice if you are faster. Also I didn´t see an impact on the top left when I picked up a battery, therefor I couldn´t end a level. Not in every level I had a power loss. Compliments to get so levels into a LD entry! |
| Aug 3 09:35:28 | 1h 41m | Politics - Rome | ♥ 1 | Finally got to the 24th month and reached a stable natianal budget. Would have been prepared to stay longer (Although I guess your approach is historically correct :-)) Got too late with starting a war... Fun and nice idea, difficult to get in but it pays out. I wonder if you played the boardgame "republic of rome"? Very good entry! EDID: Come back here to say, tried on till I reached over 24 month! (Ok, ended at 25 months, but hey, mission accomplished. At least I started a war :-)) |
| Aug 3 15:47:15 | 6h 11m | Devil Express | ♥ 1 | What a demonic laughter :-D Fun, toughh game, nice that you could implement 3 characters. For myself, unicorn was the hardest, knight the "easiest". Took some time till I figuerd out that I had to hit the medipacs itself to take them. Nice Game! |
| Aug 3 16:03:47 | 16m 32s | Power Crisis | ♥ 2 | Precise controls and nice details (recognised that you can see the damage on the flying enemys). Good platformer with nice retro graphics and sounds. Gratulate on creating 6 levels in a compo! Well done! |
| Aug 3 16:13:22 | 9m 35s | Overshadowed Road | ♥ 1 | Nice implementation of the theme into an endless (?) runner. Everything seems polished, I liked especially how the power is implemented with the car light as well as with the environment light. Also the background music is good. The Houses look great. If I´m thinking of potential to improve, the only thing is that I would prever to only change one row at pressing the button, not at staying on it. But thats nitpicking. Good job! |
| Aug 3 17:13:14 | 59m 52s | Don't let running out of power | ♥ 0 | Cute graphics and nice concept, probably would have needed some polishing. Keep on going! |
| Aug 3 18:33:17 | 1h 20m | Static Man | ♥ 1 | Damn, that was creepy! The athmosphere is great. In my tries I couldn´t manage to accomplish much, even in normal mode. Controls work well, the graphics are fine too. Improvements can be imagined at the gameplay itself. The Ghost was in my opinion a little to fast to get things done. Nevertheless, a very nice entry! |
| Aug 4 06:03:55 | 11h 30m | I'm Not Your President | ♥ 0 | Perfect use of the theme, background sound is nice, the graphics very. |
| Aug 4 06:10:08 | 6m 13s | Icarus Fate | ♥ 0 | Nice style, graphics and animations. Had to double click to move Ikarus, don´t know why. |
| Aug 4 19:10:08 | 13h 00m | Running out of Power | ♥ 1 | Your Link to the instructions didn´t work. But fortunatelly, your little fun game is self explaining. Niche entry! |
| Aug 4 19:31:05 | 20m 57s | Solar Defence | ♥ 0 | One of the best interpretations of the theme so far. I especially liked your shadow (I always wanted to have in a 2D game wit unity some, but didn´t get to it). Additionally you made a gameplay element out of it. Good job! |
| Aug 5 07:36:40 | 12h 05m | Trouble in the mine | ♥ 2 | Really good game. What I liked: The theme is well and innovative covered and implemented by the gameplay. I liked espeially the sound FX and the light dimishing. As always, a good sound leads to good atmoshphere. Ended both, on easy and hard mode, from my feeling the hard mode could have been harder, but I think the balancing is quite good for the short time. If I would search for potential to improve: The light mechanic is a very good nice but should be more significant. The problem here is that the minimap is not affected. So you can do the game with constantly pressing Q. I wasn´t able to find some enemys, just read it at the custom mode. Overall, I had much fun with your entry, thanks a lot! |
| Aug 5 08:00:08 | 23m 28s | The Last Question. | ♥ 0 | Congratulations to your first Ludum Dare entry. You created a nice and unique game. A very strange experience! And you´re a pretty good singer :-) But one note: The rules for compo are: 1. You must work alone (solo). 2. Your game, all your content (i.e. Art, Music, Sound, etc) must be created in 48 hours. So if you use a recording of you and your friend, it´s not really along the rules (For a jam it would have been ok). At least you should put audio out of the rating. Don´t wanted to offend, just my 2 cents... Besides of that, I liked your game. Good job! |
| Aug 5 10:41:06 | 2h 40m | Escape from Solar Sea Fortress | ♥ 0 | The most impressive game I played so far. Amazing job! |
