Aug 2 12:08:23 Artax ♥ 2 Beautiful art and heartwarming idea. At times I was going for the unnecessary batteries, just to please my robot companion. Cooperation mechanics are clever and satisfying, some levels are getting a bit too repetitive after a few deaths, but mostly level design is of high quality. Miss the ability to control jump's height by holding button though. Sadly, in my browser game performs with regular stutters, dunno if this is fixable. Still, a splendid entry, guys! Surely going to replay this if there'll be an optimized post-compo.
Aug 2 12:46:32 38m 09s Thermal Power Plant K-13 ♥ 3 Stunning style, as always. Gameplay also has some great potential to be engaging as heck, but there are a few balance issues and too much dependence on luck, about of which you probably know. Also, after restarting via F2 the game window jumps in the awkward left-corer position of the screen without even being fully visible (resolution is 1366x768). Anyway, thanks for the game!
Aug 2 16:02:19 3h 15m Crownless ♥ 0 Love the art style. Some sounds are too loud and too sharp for the mostly silent game (those roaring sword guys must really hate their king, roaring like that, wow). Sadly game ends shortly after presenting all mechanics, I wouldn't mind playing a bit more. Runner is a genre which can benefit from a bit of repetitiveness, so seeing enemies and jumps in a different combinations for a couple of another minutes would be nice. Not bad at all, thanks for the game!
Aug 2 16:29:19 27m 00s Spaced out ♥ 2 Really impressive graphics. Controls are tight and satisfying. Tracks, on the other hand, could be a little (or much) wider, for now it's really hard to stay on track and off-road slowdown is too punishing. If there were space to maneuver (and reasons to do so, i.e. obstacles or more power ups) such controls would just shine. Also, it's very sad that you cant pick your spaceship before the race (I personally like the green one which looks like plane). Realised, that wrote only one short sentence about graphic. Guys, it's really, really beautiful. Great entry, thanks!
Aug 2 17:00:03 30m 44s Desert Rush ♥ 2 Fine idea, like the feeling of the road adventure, traveling, scavenging, and so on. Bad thing that weapons feel pretty ineffective. While it looks and sounds powerful, you have to connect a good amount of shots to kill an enemy. I found another one, more powerful, but it's shooting speed was too slow, so it feels even worse. Also, if you run out of fuel and don't find another portion soon enough you have to leave your vehicle to the mercy of the raiders (who aren't very merciful, as I found out, and will shoot buggy on sight). It's sorta frustrating because I can do absolutely nothing to protect it (because I need to go somewhere else and find fuel) and it's not my fault (because I have no idea, where fuel might be). Maybe it will be better if raiders wouldn't agroing on it if it's not moving, maybe buggy itself can shoot, which will make me much less worried about its' fate when I'm not around. Still, pretty decent shooter and the road feels good! Thanks for the game!
Aug 2 21:30:43 4h 30m Power ♥ 1 Fun fact: On one of the previous Ludums (somewhere around 30th) I tried to make a game with the exact same controls, with typing commands and moving units on a numeric grid. Although I haven't finished it, even in my imagination it wasn't half as cool as your entry. Real great job, man! Very atmospheric, very engaging, very intense. Voice over for commands, graphic style, haunting text and voices - taking off my hat to all that. I've got 442 on the first try and will probably go again to do better. Surely one of my favorites in this Ludum. Thanks!
Aug 2 21:53:46 23m 03s 燃える // burn ♥ 2 Very juicy and satisfying! Love the enemies death dynamic - they die very fast, after a little shooting, but there's a slight pause before them exploding, right? Makes killing them much more weighty. I may be mistaken as I haven't examined it closely, anyway, I feel, in your game it's done just right, while a lot of scroll shooters doing this wrong, making you to shoot in enemies for an eternity. Game window was too tall on my screen too. Still. Got a lot of good fun with it. A solid entry, thanks!
Aug 3 20:04:26 22h 10m HackOS ♥ 1 Not much to say other than game mechanic is very elegant, game feels complete and polished, hax0rman is just a beautiful person. One of the best games from this LD I've played yet. Great job and thanks.
Aug 3 22:37:34 2h 33m Street Beat Saviour ♥ 2 Fine platformer! Jumping and edge assist is a bit clunky and I got stuck a few times (although game is actively encouraging you to kill yourself when stuck, in some situations it's impossible, so, I guess, a separate restart button won't hurt). But style and overall groovy atmosphere more than offset this. Had a pleasant time playing this, thanks!
Aug 3 22:47:29 9m 55s Marvin's Message ♥ 2 Not working in my browser and I'm not feeling comfortable to install another one just to play one game. Is there a possibility for a standalone version? Love the screenshots though and would like to play much.
