| Aug 1 23:17:02 | Last Train Out | ♥ 3 | AAAHH! I FELL OFF THE TRAIN! This was a lot of fun to play, and very intense once the boulders start hitting. Visuals and audio come together very well to set a fast-paced mood. Managing all the wheels WHILE also remembering to jump past the train's platforms was the most challenging part. Also very direct implementation of the theme. Fun game overall! :) | |
| Aug 1 23:32:46 | 15m 44s | Lantern | ♥ 3 | Really loved the atmosphere created in this game. I felt the mechanics were too simple, and in essence it's a plain old shooter, but the art style really comes through and gets your nerves going. Really had fun trying to beat high scores, though I probably didn't do all that great. |
| Aug 2 00:05:14 | 32m 28s | Soporific: A Bedtime Story | ♥ 4 | This was adorable. The kid's reactions were just so genuine and funny in a truly childlike way, I guess that's what happens when the game is inspired by a real kid :) Like amras0000, I tried picking all the strange options and it was really funny to hear G shut me down. Loved the artwork. Repusv pointed out the audio was a little buggy. I was also having trouble with it. But the visuals made up for it! Great job. |
| Aug 2 00:18:07 | 12m 53s | There's No Place Like Home | ♥ 2 | I loved it! This gets surprisingly stressful and intense once you've almost charged up your spaceship. I liked the vibrant, in-your-face coloring. I see you mentioned the TV was put there as a joke, that's great. If it actually displayed something it would've been great, though. While I was playing, I was just confused by it. Simple game that, I think, is very effective. I wouldn't say it's too difficult. It's difficult enough to keep you on your toes, which is always the ideal difficulty! |
| Aug 2 00:22:50 | 4m 43s | Wayside : A world awaits you | ♥ 0 | Fun game! I really appreciate the clean art style, it makes everything very clear and straightforward. Props for that. I did find the charged jump mechanic to be a little annoying at times, though. A lot of the challenge right now is in knowing how far the jump will take you, which is hard to predict. I think it would be better if this was more intuitive, and the challenge was more on traversing the level itself. Great job, had fun playing it :) |
| Aug 2 00:33:35 | 10m 45s | The Box of Power | ♥ 2 | The game might be unfinished, but the visuals look like a finished game :) The last level was tricky. I was very confused by the moving mechanics at first in general, but the last level's small "aha" moment convinced me. Would have loved to see more levels. Maybe try to spread out your working time more evenly next time between visuals, mechanics, etc? Also, I think WASD/arrow movement would work well here. Anyhow, great game, even if unfinished! |
| Aug 2 00:49:10 | 15m 35s | LittleBots | ♥ 3 | Funniest game I've played so far. I was very confused at first, but then figured out the OP strat of hopping under the trail of little bots, seeing just how fast I can point and spam right click, and then walking through the hoops. At one point, I managed to break the physics engine and all the little bots started fluttering about and pulled me straight down. It was hilarious. |
| Aug 2 01:36:48 | 47m 38s | Burnup Blade | ♥ 0 | Love to see a LD game that feels well polished! The animations look great, and the visuals and audio combination is quite immersive. Those ball enemies are really OP, though! Felt like it was hard to aim in the vertical direction. Maybe it would be better if the sword hits had a larger vertical hitbox? Also the balls chain hitting you was very unforgiving. Overall, great game, great graphics, love the sword swinging animation details. Good job! |
| Aug 2 13:47:54 | 12h 11m | Alienation | ♥ 1 | This game had some amazing atmosphere and immersion factors. Great use of (I'm assuming) Unity's particle system, really takes effects to the next level. Have to agree with most people that it was too easy. Could've racked up more fun points if it was more challenging or if something changed along the way. Overall, good, immersive game! Managed to turn on all generators. |
| Aug 2 17:36:57 | 3h 49m | The Dictater | ♥ 2 | Love the art direction! Specially how the map is laid out! Very good pacing and smoothness overall! |
| Aug 2 21:06:00 | 3h 29m | Adrift | ♥ 1 | Nice music! Loved the hearing through doors mechanic! One suggestion: Placing the gui elements in one place can help you read what´s happening on the screen easier! |
| Aug 2 21:17:14 | 11m 14s | Towers of Power | ♥ 1 | That was fun! Loved the menu! Takes a while to understand the mechanics though! |
| Aug 2 21:29:46 | 12m 32s | Escape Velocity | ♥ 2 | THAT WAS FUN!! Loved the background and the ship. I imagine this being a prototype for a possible bigger game! Also, great moment when the ship starts crashing! |
| Aug 2 21:41:06 | 11m 20s | UFO Abduction | ♥ 1 | Haha!! Poor humans! Simple mechanics but fun overall! There should be more progression to it! Maybe humans getting stronger? |
| Aug 2 21:45:56 | 4m 50s | With Extra Steps | ♥ 1 | Wish I had an android! This sure looks amazing! |
| Aug 2 21:57:15 | 11m 19s | Defender of the Energy! | ♥ 2 | The music is perfect, very retro-wavey. Thank you for taking the time to actually explain the story! Nice art and slick attacking animation |
| Aug 2 22:03:53 | 6m 38s | Plasma Arena | ♥ 2 | This is great! Love the Doom-Quake feel! |
| Aug 2 22:16:19 | 12m 26s | Potential Energy | ♥ 1 | Interesting! The fact that you talk to boxes under spotlights adds to the dreamy, broken reality atmosphere. |
| Aug 2 22:21:02 | 4m 43s | The Last Question | ♥ 2 | This is actually one of my favorite short stories from Asimov! Nice tribute and gameplay overall! |
| Aug 2 22:36:24 | 15m 22s | The Crossing | ♥ 1 | Nice background art and music! |
| Aug 2 22:42:25 | 6m 01s | Heal The Dark Lord! | ♥ 1 | Gorgeous art and animations! The Dark Lord and the little minions are perfect! Took me a while to understand the mechanics though! |
| Aug 2 22:46:35 | 4m 10s | The Shutdown | ♥ 2 | The amount of assets in this game is unbelievable. Good job! Also, the rendering of the old man in the menu is awesome |
| Aug 2 22:55:31 | 8m 56s | Edison Lamp | ♥ 0 | The art is great! I love the flies and the detail in the bulb itself! Maybe add more gameplay? |
| Aug 2 23:04:09 | 8m 38s | DOHMIERE | ♥ 1 | Great entry! The art and mechanic serve the plot really well. Quick suggestion: You could make a small animation for the buttons when you click them, or show them somewhere. That way you'll know when you're actually typing! |
| Aug 2 23:17:07 | 12m 58s | Devil's Curse | ♥ 1 | This was so much fun! Solid AI and animations. Also love the music and quirky sounds! |
| Aug 3 02:07:22 | 2h 50m | Super Power Frenzy | ♥ 1 | This is great! I had sooo much fun, definitely a 5/5 in the Fun category. It takes some time to get used to moving around and actually saving your power to pick up the pink power ups. I think it would be better if the weapon powerups weren't random (I think they were random? at some point it downgraded to my starting weapon). I expected the weapon to upgrade, not just to change around randomly. It's also interesting that way I suppose, since you're constantly trying to dodge the white boxes if you get something OP. Or maybe it's an OP / power balance? Very interesting regardless! Loved the graphics, very clean and to the point, though sometimes it was hard to see the enemy ships. The soundtrack is awesome, though since you opted out of audio I'm guessing you didn't make it. All in all great game! |
| Aug 3 19:12:40 | 17h 05m | Saturnalia | ♥ 0 | In terms of ambience and aesthetics, this game is wonderful. You get immersed in this mysterious world from the get go, with all its mysterious objects and particles flying around and very intense, glowing light and reflections. The audio also complements this really well. It's clear that you focused your attention on getting the graphics, mood, and audio just right. I also love the animation of the credits in the corner, it's a nice touch. In terms of gameplay, it took me a while to understand how the puzzles worked. Though I couldn't figure out a strategy better than guess and check, in some way this complemented the mysterious vibe of the game. However, it wasn't clear how the theme fit in to the game. This is one of the most polished entries I've played so far. Great job! |
| Aug 3 20:38:21 | 1h 25m | Batterycorp | ♥ 1 | Absolutely loved this game! Using the OS UI-type environment to navigate the world was so original, and the puzzles were well designed for such a short amount of time. You managed to explore many different puzzle mechanics, and some of them made me actually laugh, like the nodding your head one! :) This game takes it all in innovation. The soundtrack was cool, and the graphics went well with everything, but it's clear where you devoted most of your time. Loved the game, great job! Haven't managed to get the good ending, not sure what to do in my office or in the 4th floor with the shadow. Maybe I'll keep trying. |
| Aug 3 20:53:33 | 15m 12s | Feed the machine | ♥ 1 | Great game! The sounds are hilarious, loved that you had controller support. The last part was way too difficult, and it also wasn't that clear by the end that I could feed the machine anything in order to get some power back, so it was impossible for a few couple runs. It was fun to play though, very intense and fast paced once the missiles and boss attacks started coming in. Good job :) |
| Aug 3 21:01:45 | 8m 12s | Lost Soul | ♥ 3 | Nice game! It's funny because our game at some point uses a similar switch-control-between-units mechanic, and it's something we've been exploring a lot. It was surprising to see somebody else do a similar thing. The graphics were great, the mood and atmosphere were immersive and well polished. Overall great game, though with that level of graphics and audio I would have enjoyed if it wasn't that much about replaying every few seconds and more about fewer, longer playthroughs, if that makes sense. |
| Aug 3 22:38:45 | 1h 37m | Spacy adventure | ♥ 1 | Amazing! Very well polished and good game feel. The visual effects are cool, though sometimes they can be a bit cluttering and confusing. Enjoyed playing a couple run throughs. Great job! Impressive game for a compo. |
| Aug 3 22:42:28 | 3m 43s | Defend Home: Mars | ♥ 2 | Loved this!! Nice models and textures. A little repetitive after a while, but nicely done for a 48 hour entry! |
| Aug 3 22:47:37 | 5m 09s | Mad Trax | ♥ 1 | Simple premise but finely conceptualized! Loved the retrowave reference in this, fits perfectly! |
| Aug 3 22:50:32 | 2m 55s | Superbman | ♥ 0 | Very simple gameplay, but it was surprisingly fun once I realized there were two different jump types (should've read the controls first I suppose). It was very hard, and I would appreciate some checkpoints (or maybe there were some, and I just wasn't good enough to get there haha). The sounds were really funny too. Good job! |
| Aug 3 22:58:12 | 7m 40s | SolarPower | ♥ 1 | Great, simple compo entry! Love the glowyness of everything, makes it feel star-like and spacey. I think the use of solar power as the theme was great. It was hard to get used to controlling the ship, but it was fun once I did. Good job :) |
| Aug 3 23:03:19 | 5m 07s | The Breach | ♥ 2 | Great mechanic, solid pixel art. Makes you think of what you´re doing after dying 30 times |
| Aug 3 23:07:43 | 4m 24s | Maze Charger | ♥ 2 | Great job for your first game and LD entry! Though I could see some of the stuff you used was directly pulled from Unity (hehe), I absolutely loved the lighting choice. You could've used a typical flashlight light, but with those square patches it made everything seem much more strange and mysterious. The music also provided a very eerie mood to the game, which I enjoyed. Just a sidenote, I had a hard time reading the energy percentage text when the labyrinth was well powered and brighter. Maybe you should change the font color as the labyrinth gets brighter, so it always contrasts with the background? Anyhow, good job :) |
| Aug 3 23:12:25 | 4m 42s | Scale of Life | ♥ 3 | Very cute happy game! The graphics are awesome and it has a very jucy feel! A bit more of progression would be awesome though! Good job. |
| Aug 4 02:50:49 | 3h 38m | Unfueled | ♥ 1 | This was really fun! Very creative take on the mechanics. The UFO sucked so much I always tried to avoid it. It was a lot of fun learning and getting the hang of it. It's a pretty hard game though, only managed to get slightly over 1k. The music makes it so much more intense, the graphics nice and simple, and most importantly the game is fun :) |
| Aug 4 03:05:27 | 14m 38s | The Light City of Karola | ♥ 1 | This game feels very polished and complete, great job! Big props for using a custom engine too, I'm getting too used to seeing the "Made by Unity" splash screen around here. I loved the feel of this game, the aesthetics, and the sound. Using a sparkling circle around the character as a power indicator works so well as opposed to a bar on the side of the screen or something, because your attention is always there. I loved some of the level design, especially the last part of the last level where you had to drop down instead of continuing on straight. Also the running out of power mechanic felt very tied up with the game style; it was a nice touch that you didn't actually die from falling, you just kept falling and eventually ran out of power. Don't really have any complaints about the game, other than it's not particularly innovative. Of course, it could be longer, but this is amazing given the time constraints. Great job! |
| Aug 4 03:24:50 | 19m 23s | Delivery To The Underpass | ♥ 1 | NUUUU as soon as you made me walk for such a long time at the end I knew something was coming up. Really liked the game, great job with the polished feel and the music. I liked how the music volume decreased with power (that's a thing, right?). Also, the bloom level was nice on the light posts, but you might have overdone it with the mines, hehe. Great job overall! |
