| Aug 1 06:49:06 | Zero Volt X | ♥ 0 | Hello ! Super neat game as usual, awesome+fun visuals (I loved the 'lol' robot). I thought the controls were a bit weird until I understood the gameplay mechanic, (as usual) which is refreshing the classic shmup style :) Super nice take on shoot em ups, I hope that you're doing fine and that you'll have time to implement the Boss someday ! | |
| Aug 1 09:01:33 | 2h 12m | Recoil - Mike Said No Short Titles | ♥ 1 | Nice puzzle game ! The core mechanic is smart and fun, but I think it's really hard very quickly or maybe my brain is too slow รดรด very interesting take on the theme btw :) |
| Aug 2 10:14:15 | 25h 12m | Frankenstorm | ♥ 1 | Win.Perfect.Excellent mood and storytelling, super cute characters, clouds seems designed to never really look the same but always cute and "juiced". Music sounds taken from an old console game, sfx are cute too (noooooo) and very well done overall. The gameplay is simple yet quite original, fast paced and very well balanced, visuals are smooth, I only thought that I wished the player fires had a color not used with clouds to increase visibility but it is not an issue as the game is not too difficult and allows you to lose many creatures (as many as needed ?). I died 27 times to reach the end, I don't know if it's designed to be easy or just to allow the player to go through the end but that was fun cute and intense. I didn't mention the theme that is absolutely well exploited. Really a nice entry. |
| Aug 2 10:23:44 | 9m 29s | August 25th 2017 | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept , that's somehow a weird and a little bit sad experiment. Music fits well, pixel art is really nice looking and well executed. I wish there was a little bit more interaction, and speed (The player's moves are a bit slow, but I understand it's part of the atmosphere.). I choose the wrong pills but could'nt go back :o I almost felt guilty :] Hope you're doin well as it's a little bit depressing experience, but that fits the theme... |
| Aug 2 11:22:55 | 59m 11s | Geralt's secret powersource | ♥ 1 | Funny game, with nice pixel art and mood. The gameplay is simple and keeps you busy, but i had some issues with keyboard, like player often stops to walk with no apparent reason :/ It makes the game a little bit frustrating. Anyway great humour, cool game ! |
| Aug 3 18:03:55 | 30h 41m | Buck and Flamy : An Unholy Row | ♥ 2 | It seems like a cool game but nobody want to try it with me right now :'( as far as i could try, controlling both players, the slowing down when growing and the life decreasing for the flame makes it feel a little bit harder but in the end i wasn't quite sure, but i could not really talk about the gameplay qs I plqyed qlone :) the design is cute, music fits well with this, it has a great mood and looks like funny multiplayer concept ! |
| Aug 3 18:17:00 | 13m 05s | Driving home | ♥ 0 | Hahaha great small game/experience I wish there was a little bit scoring or difficulty to keep me stuck to it as this is one of the best idea/theme exploitation I played so far. It really feels like a childhood memory and... well this is super great to feel this :') Super-cool-and-artsy-cartoon-pixelated-hand-draw style, very smooth. Music is just awesome congratulations :p Awesome idea. |
| Aug 4 18:15:15 | 23h 58m | The Truth | ♥ 0 | Hahahaha now I understand XD Funny use of the theme ! Really short, with a nice low-poly and lighting render. It's not really a "game" but it's worth having fun with it for a minute to find out what Mike was hiding :) |
| Aug 5 18:37:00 | 24h 21m | PP-Mate | ♥ 0 | It's a nice fast shooter game, visuals are simple but enjoyable, and so is the gameplay. I liked the randomness of levels as i gave it some tries before giving up at level 6. Good feeling with controls and gameplay, but i think the machine gun is really more powerful than the other weapons. "Triangles" robots' bullets are quite fast, I didn't know I was hit at first >< No music but sfx are good and old school, the theme is simply exploited but it gets really hard to keep power after 4/5 minutes :) |
| Aug 6 08:45:06 | 14h 08m | Dashfister | ♥ 2 | Hi ! Cool arcade game that you've made once again!the game mechanic is very smart and enjoyable, player control and moves are really smooth. The game difficulty is well balanced, maybe is it a bit easy compared to some of your previous games but it keeps the fun intense so that's a great thing. The theme is well exploited through the dash/energy system and keeps the player active. Reading the comments, I can see that I was not aware of the wall jumping too, so I killed the boss using the hit feedback from the jumping monster, that was quite fun and unexpected :) everything is kept simple but efficient, such as enemies moves and design. The losing screen reminds me some old game I think but i can't figure out what it is ! No music but cool sfx, clear and smooth game design, very fun to play ! Well done ! |
| Aug 10 19:44:09 | 106h 59m | Unplugged | ♥ 1 | :D What a funny and cool concept ! I don't like idle games but the concept linked to the real cellphone battery pushed me to try to reach the blood amount before my phone was off. The game sucked my battery level so this was challenging and fun :) Probably the best theme's exploitation so far. I think the Blood Cell enhancer is a bit cheap compared to the rest. Very nice visuals and cool ambiant music. Story makes sense and settles the goal. I did not see if something happened when i reached the blood amount :/ what am i going to do with all this blood ? ...Still pumping... Great and surprising game ! |
| Aug 10 20:18:27 | 34m 18s | Battery Bunny | ♥ 0 | Funny little game I played on my phone, cool and cute 3D visuals, a bit hard to master :) collisons were often deadly and strafe is a bit slow. I wish there was bigger buttons on android as I sometimes felt as if i wass missing them. Life system is a bit unfair I think, and I could not reach the end :( that's a cool theme, simple sfx gives some feedback on what's happening. Good job ! |
| Aug 13 12:05:29 | 63h 47m | The end of heat | ♥ 0 | Weird and well-written story, music is calm, enjoyable and creates a great atmosphere combined with dialogs. I wanted to accept the tardigrada's invitation at the end and felt a bit sad when it stoped :'( Great narrative-almost-a-game. |
| Aug 13 16:03:39 | 3h 58m | Rise Shine Fall | ♥ 1 | Nice atmosphere here, that was short 3d psychedelic expermiment :) I liked the abstract design and funny shamanic songs. I may have missed some point with the gameplay, but felt quite fascinated when I decided to "let go" and watch the day fall... The end of the experience itself also left me feeling smiling yet feeling alone powerless and confused. Weird game ! Very nice mood ! Ho and the use of the theme is quite cool and original :) |
| Aug 15 09:26:30 | 41h 22m | Powerless: Trump Teaches Typing | ♥ 1 | Hahaha tremendous. Huge. Winning. I couldn't last very much longer than 60 days because of my iq. Sad. Music is part of the great humor deployed humor, gameplay is simple, but i think that the diffulty could be adjusted easily on speed, and words length. I decided that i will stop playing when I would not see a new stupid declaration but there is always a new one to make me laught... He is a abundant source of absurd quotes :] Nice job and great fun. |
| Aug 15 09:42:53 | 16m 23s | Mr Mayor's Energy Crisis | ♥ 1 | YEAH ! I've made it :D It took me several days to find the adequate strategy to beat this small little gem :) Very humorous and well executed, quite hard ! I don't really know if i've done it right but my main strategy was to hurt the eagle at the right time, because the reaction that follows seems to cover everything that could happen >< Nice low poly visuals, the music sounds like I'm playing a sim-city-like game. Very challenging and interesting take on the theme. Great ! |
| Aug 15 10:22:01 | 39m 08s | Pajama Man and The Spooky Cave | ♥ 0 | Cool weird atmosphere ! sprites seems a bit like placeholders but good job on lightings and blur :) this gives a great sensation of speed, but after a while you tend to be slower and more careful :p I wish there was some more sound fx and instructions. The atmosphere feels oppressing, dark and gloomy, and there is a little thrill when I meet ghosts :) I think you should give a little more light power to the player as the power mechanic does not seems to be always working as expected. I think i did beat it but i'm not really sure I won :p Good job ! |
| Aug 15 10:47:32 | 25m 31s | Radrover Snap!! | ♥ 1 | Super cool Jam game ! nice reference to Pokemon Snap I guess ! Very good job on music and sfx, especially voices at the end of the journey, extra nice 3d style. I felt like all this world was living by its own and has tons of stories to show :) very good mood, nice use of the theme but I wished there was a little bit more challenge, but the experiment was really feeling good. I think the photo selection can lead to funny things, such as fox being a robot or robots being foxes, i'm not sure the detection always stick to the snap :) Also controls were a bit weird with mouse, a little bit better with chrome than firefox. But maybe it'smy dualscreen, often inducing weird bugs with Unity. I really love the music that fits super well, and very great job overall :) |
| Aug 15 13:14:16 | 2h 26m | Yet Another Exhausted Day | ♥ 0 | Awesome rag doll game ! Very smart and funny exploitation of the theme ! The difficulty is very well balanced, yet quite hard to master near the end. Visuals are simple and good looking, this worm-like state moves are very expressive and fun :) I wish the die/retry could be accelerated a little bit when raging :D It took me a lot of tries to reach this door :D Cool and quiet sfx, the "huh..." voice made me mimic and laughing ... Extra great entry ! |
| Aug 15 13:45:58 | 31m 42s | Tesla Siblings | ♥ 1 | Awesome tetris/bustamove alike ! I was so bad playing it that after a while the game had pity of me and every plug was just 2 blocks ahead of the other at each round XD I couldn't beat the score of 106 anyway but I was happy to complete at least some pluggings :) Very well polished, I just wish I could toggle fullscreen but i'm too lazy to dl the source :) visuals are nice, gameplay is old school with an original touch that fits well with the theme ! Also, I really enjoyed the differents musics all along. Once again, very impressively polished entry for a 48 h game :) Great job, congratulations ! |
| Aug 21 06:06:02 | 136h 20m | Fall of Raphael | ♥ 2 | Cool game with a unique atmosphere ! I did not wanted to post the comment as I couldn't beat it, and I'm still stuck, now at level 3/4 (depending if you count intro). As the time is running out and we are getting close to results i better leave a comment anyway. Very goodjob on both visuals and music, that really gives this game his own own identity. I especially loved the music, a bit frustrating when you spendt more than half an hour on it, but sounding like some cool electro black metal kind of tunes to me. This is hard, I was happy to have infinite lives. I found it a bit hard to really understand how the power stations level works when connected to multiple things (I mean visually) but i assume i somehow get it now. That's a very smart and funny use of the theme anyway ; I enjoyed NPC dialogs to narrate the story and induce some fun elements. Maybe I found the "platformer" gameplay a little bit annoying but the puzzle side makes it worth. Good compo game, once again good work with level design, I'll try to finish it :) |
| Aug 21 18:23:20 | 12h 17m | Power Tycoon | ♥ 0 | Hi there ! Cool management game, nice exploitation of the theme ! it could have been cool to have a few more assets but I guess coding was quite time consuming :) It seems like complex idea, i think I am quite bad playing it but I managed to explore a few strategies, for the most leading to game over ahaha. The best I have found was to expand all over the map and alternate when between solar pannels and turbine until I could build the geothermal plant. I couldn't reach day 5, even after a lots of tries, so I guess i'm doing something wrong. Otherwise than assets, something you could do to improve the gamefeel is greying down the buttons each time it is unavailable, i felt like sometimes it was not greyed and could not build anyway, it was a bit frustrating. Some small help for people playing it wrong could be encouraging too :) Good idea ! |
| Aug 21 18:54:20 | 31m 00s | Encounters | ♥ 1 | Cool small adventure game, design is quite original, and the story well narrated around NPC :) Funny take on the theme and funny ending ! |
| Aug 21 19:57:18 | 1h 02m | Running Voltgun | ♥ 0 | Excellent entry ! I especially loved visuals that are really great, as usual, and there is an awesome amount of work all around. Music was catchy, gameplay increasing in nervosity with the game's progress, the exploitation of the theme seems quite simple but I can't blame anyone for this :p Great work on level design (as usual), how couldn't it remind me Sonic ? Great games, great memories... The bosses and 2 first worlds were a bit easy but that's fair as I remember some of your previous ones being quite hard. Great job ! It's quite unbeliavable it has been made in less than 3 days. |
| Aug 21 21:26:31 | 1h 29m | First Ludum Dare Submit (Hackerman) | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept, a bit hard I couldn't beat it and gets stuck quite fast. Maybe you could increase the invelnerability time or makes the guards a bit less aggresse, I often get stuck to them and die :/ The battery running down is a cool idea but that was never the reason I dies. Good work on visuals, keep on working the gameplay :) |
| Aug 21 21:50:21 | 23m 50s | PotatIO | ♥ 0 | Great concept and funny execution :) i loved the very quiet atmosphere and the fun spuds facts brings :] A bit hard to start, i would like to had some instruction/game over/retry button at first but dumb retries were part of the fun too :] great humor and mood, good job :) |
| Aug 22 06:24:06 | 8h 33m | Survival Adventures | ♥ 1 | Funny game ! Cool concept and features, the easiest way to win is to make a fire go for anorexia and sleep but I wanted to have some more plays to try much :) Cutting trees needs a lot of power and it makes it dangerous but i had to explore the game for a while, and find out what was in the chest on the left. After a few tries I survived once again until there is only one hour left and then died fishing because it is almost as exhausting as cutting trees ahahah :) Maybe with a few more balance and features, the game could be very enjoyable. I was sometimes stuck with the inventory and couldn't manage to change from my backpack to my hand so i died this way too :D good job! |
| Aug 22 11:03:35 | 4h 39m | Punchey! (VR ONLY) | ♥ 0 | Great entry, i was hoping to see for a VR game from you as I can give it a try for few days and I had a lot of fun :) I couldn't beat it and I stopped when I realized I REALLY HAD to configure my room correctly before playing any more VR games. guess that sad things could happen if I punch the wall with my htc vive controller... Anyway that was a really cool experiment, i spent one hour trying to understand mechanics and get used to controls. The punch move is really something to dig, it really gave me peaks of adrenaline sneaking around the robots and punching them cowardly :D The jump moves work the opposite that I was instinct told me but once I got it it was fine. Moves seems more fast and smooth in the gameplayvideo, maybe am i doing something wrong :) Maybe checkpoints are a cool idea, but I'll try to finish it ASAP ! Funny sfx, nice simple visuals, cool use of the theme... Great job ! |
