| Aug 13 07:33:49 | Death's Helper | ♥ 2 | Pretty cool game, reminds me of a game "Risk of Rain". The controls were smooth (I don't have a middle mouse button, but oh well), the game played well, and that combination made it fun to play, I enjoyed it. The power bar drained fast, but I found that made the game even more fun, adding that aspect of tension. That last struggle feature, very innovative, and added that extra bit of necessary time to stay in the game, especially cool with the slow-mo. I'd say that if it weren't in the game, death would be a lot more infuriating! The walls were a little broken, but it's understandable, I find walls time consuming to properly implement, and in fact in the last LD I didn't include them at all (nobody noticed as it was a top down 2D game, I guess they're a bit more noticable in a side scrolling platformer). Either way, I managed just fine by staying away from them. Overall, this is a game I enjoyed playing, some minor faults, but they can be overlooked, especially with the additional cool features. | |
| Aug 13 07:56:34 | 22m 45s | Save My Phone | ♥ 0 | Really fun game, it's a classic endless runner, but it's very well executed, and I love the powerups / powerdowns (see what I did there?). Overall, very well done on this entry, I enjoyed it. |
| Aug 13 08:46:39 | 50m 05s | Power Plant Manager | ♥ 2 | What a game! Reminded me a little of cookie clicker, only your game is far better. Love the wire-mesh graphics, also how the background darkens with pollution. About pollution though, Natural gas should produce less than oil, which should produce less than coal. Have you never played SimCity 4? :D I didn't find it too unbalanced, at least at the start of the game, but I guess I'm running it on a slower computer (although your game's processing shouldn't run differently based on hardware, that isn't great, but it is tough to deal with). I also liked how the more population there was, the more difficult it was to achieve your power goal. Also, what was the reason for the power goal? I thought it would've been an end-game thing, but the game didn't end, so I decided I'd go for another goal: to reach MAX_INT on power goal (about 2,147,000,000), in the aims to crash the program! I started out the game with a few wind turbines until I could afford a nuclear reactor, which then overheated, so I bought a few coal factories. Eventually, I could buy more nuclear reactors, this time with cooling towers. 4 power plants later, and I achieved the power goal, which didn't satisfy me. This is when I decided to go for overflowing the program. First using the power of the gods, then pyramids, I could finally afford an energy nexus. So I filled the map with them. About 20 minutes and a cup of coffee later, I had got to 2 billion on the power goal, and with the final press of the "2" button... Alas, the game did not crash... What a brilliant entry, though, I really enjoyed it, only way to improve it is to improve the balance a little! |
| Aug 13 10:21:09 | 1h 34m | Lights Out | ♥ 1 | Nice, short little game, loved it! Would've been great if it had more levels to it, but as a core game, works well and is fun to play. At one point, I somehow got -15 keys, but still managed to leave the game regardless. Either way, a great entry! |
| Aug 17 09:28:51 | 95h 07m | < Mr. Plug > | ♥ 1 | Really cool, fun, complete game! Not only have you got fun and a variety of levels and mechanics going through the levels, you've also got a complete story with a brilliant ending. Made me feel emotion. Great mood, loved this game. Fantastic work! |
| Aug 18 07:56:22 | 22h 27m | LOW BATT | ♥ 1 | Amazing experience, brilliant music, no matter how you play the game it sounds amazing. Brilliant entry! |
| Aug 18 08:17:03 | 20m 41s | Demonic Powers | ♥ 2 | Reminds me of Hotline Miami, this is a really fun game, great music and sound effects, not to mention the brilliant gameplay. Truly a fantastic entry! |
| Aug 19 08:48:45 | 24h 31m | Dear Leader's Love Powered Peace Bomb | ♥ 0 | Brilliant game, love the theme of your game, very funny and topical. The graphics of your game are amazing too, I especially love the colours that the screen turn when you explode. Music is great too, added a whole lot to the game. Also, having to install the game isn't great in Ludum Dare, but I got around this by installing to desktop. Overall though, a brilliant entry! |
| Aug 19 08:49:37 | 52s | You Discharge, You Lose | ♥ 0 | Seriously fun game. Got to 90 seconds on my third attempt, this is a really cool platformer, where you have to think ahead and manage your resources (in this case, power), which you can charge anywhere, but not for too long else the wall of death gets you! This is some of the best game design I've seen in a long while, and even better execution. Fantastic job! |
