|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 31 12:33:21 | Club Power | ♥ 0 | Cool! I did a rhythm-style game too, though I have no idea how to go full on DDR like yours. I actually disagree with @kingethaniel, above, because it seems like you can just keep tapping the arrows and the rhythm doesn't always matter. Love the music! | |
| Jul 31 12:44:39 | 11m 18s | The Last Cup Of Coffee | ♥ 1 | Cute! I like the music and sound a lot, it really sets the mood. Really nice job with the animations and effects on the staples too. I never did get that cup of coffee... |
| Jul 31 12:54:24 | 9m 45s | :( | ♥ 2 | Better luck next time! |
| Jul 31 13:33:05 | 38m 41s | Artifact Dive | ♥ 1 | Arg! I got the artifact but didn't realize I had to get OUT too, so I was swarmed by all the enemies that were aggro. Great work for 48 hours. I love the music, the balance, and the play overall. |
| Jul 31 15:52:49 | 2h 19m | Stellar Blackout | ♥ 1 | Wow neat! Once I got rolling this was really nice: sophisticated, but straightforward. When I first loaded up the whole GUI was a bit intimidating, but it made sense pretty quickly. I love the music. What is it? Some 804% time-stretched thing? |
| Jul 31 15:57:16 | 4m 27s | Power or die | ♥ 1 | Neat. Brief, and too the point! A strong first entry. It'd be cool to see the idea expanded (new levels, etc.) |
| Jul 31 16:01:48 | 4m 32s | Bribe or Die | ♥ 1 | Ha! Cool. Great sound design and straightforward concept. I feel like the game needs one more "thing." Like something you can do when you have enough power/money, etc., but perhaps that's a revision for a later 48 hours! |
| Jul 31 18:18:46 | 2h 16m | HELL TRAIN in RETURN TO PLANET MONSTER | ♥ 1 | Very cool. It took me a couple times to figure out what I was supposed to do (though it's pretty clear if you read the walls). Really nice graphics for 48 hours! I also love the "Come on ride the train" music loop... |
| Jul 31 18:27:41 | 8m 55s | How I Met Your Great Great Grandmother | ♥ 4 | Very cool and clever game here. I really like the multiple streams balancing aspect. It seems to be a bit old-fashioned in its conception of marriage. Perhaps it would be a little more contemporary to switch between the male and female between generations. I mean... after all, I'm having kids when I'm 72 sometimes... |
| Jul 31 18:31:53 | 4m 12s | The Circuit | ♥ 0 | Cool (and HARD!). Nice work on a really original idea. It took me a second to get my bearings, though. Maybe "press any key to start" or something like that? |
| Jul 31 18:43:36 | 11m 43s | Peak Oil | ♥ 1 | Yo! Ran the Mac version here, and it's buggy. Things in the GUI seem to be on top of each other, so I went back to play the WebGL version, and I think I got a better feel for things. Very cool! I'm always impressed when people can put together a coherent strategy game in 48 hours! |
| Aug 1 00:41:20 | 5h 57m | End of Time | ♥ 1 | Neat little game here. There's a lot of depth here for 48 hours! |
| Aug 1 00:46:01 | 4m 41s | Night of the Unholy | ♥ 1 | Neat game. I love the cover art. I thought it was going to be some sort of existential cultist horror game looking at that image (actually that might have been a bit more up my alley). Keep up the good work! |
| Aug 1 00:48:14 | 2m 13s | My Dream | ♥ 0 | Not sure if this is running. I just get a black screen on itch.io. |
| Aug 1 14:29:20 | 13h 41m | Blood Mechs: The Iron Eucharist | ♥ 3 | Very cool. I used to play the heck out of the Mechwarrior games when I was a teenager, so this was wonderfully nostalgic (once I wrapped my head around turret vs. mech rotation again). I wish the dialog was mixed a little louder. It seemed interesting, but I missed a lot of it in the heat of the battle. Also, the enemies were spawning in threes right next to me at the end, which felt a little unfair. Besides these nitpicks, though, this is AMAZING work for 72 hours. |
| Aug 1 16:11:41 | 1h 42m | Last Hope | ♥ 1 | Blerg. I wrote you a long, detailed comment about how I liked the aesthetic, and I wanted a map and a slightly longer music loop, but the LDJAM page glitched when I submitted it. Really nice work though. I'd love to see where it goes from here. |
| Aug 1 16:24:50 | 13m 09s | August 25th 2017 | ♥ 0 | Very cool. I've been pondering impermanence myself lately (perhaps the inspiration my own LDJam nogame this time, but in a more abstract way). I'll have to come back and check again tomorrow to see who has passed away (glad I played on Day 1). I love the overall experience and how the little factors like the art style and music contribute. |
| Aug 1 16:29:44 | 4m 54s | Power Down | ♥ 1 | Nice! A neat little puzzle-platformer with adorable blobby animations. I'd love to see what comes next after the tutorial! |
| Aug 1 16:36:57 | 7m 13s | Dare to Ludum | ♥ 1 | Neat idea. I'm not a huge fan of flappy bird, though, so I can't say that I made it to the end! |
| Aug 1 17:51:27 | 1h 14m | Spooky the Scared Ghost | ♥ 2 | Whoa. I like this a lot visually! Not sure if I love the "trolling" messages in the dungeon or the extreme zoom in when not moving (solved by rapidly tapping back and forth), but this is fantastic, original work for 72 hours. |
| Aug 1 17:56:52 | 5m 25s | TowerClicker | ♥ 0 | Cool. A nice little clicker. Simple and fun. |
| Aug 1 19:22:36 | 1h 25m | Jetpack Miner | ♥ 1 | Neat game. I like your take on the theme! |
| Aug 1 19:25:48 | 3m 12s | Overcharged! | ♥ 1 | Any chance of a Mac or web version? I'd love to give it a try! |
| Aug 1 19:29:35 | 3m 47s | Electric Castle | ♥ 1 | I love this. I must say, though, the eyeball exploding when it hits the spikes is one of the most grisly things ever. Anyway, great combination of simple mechanics into a more complex emergent game (and I'm crazy about that background)! |
| Aug 1 19:36:18 | 6m 43s | Boaty McBoatface | ♥ 1 | Wow. This is an enormous game for just 48 hours. Nice work. I'm going to echo the comments above about the interface stuff, but really impressive job overall. |
| Aug 1 19:38:27 | 2m 09s | Dorgus Needs Power! | ♥ 1 | Any chance of a Mac or web build? I'd love to give it a try! |
| Aug 1 19:57:12 | 18m 45s | THIRST | ♥ 1 | Great work. Nice fusion of a variety of different types of games into something original. I do feel like I get a bit lost (even with the exit detector), but great little roguelike! |
| Aug 1 21:11:01 | 1h 13m | The Visible City | ♥ 2 | Awesome. Best game I've played so far. A bit frustrating, but I think that's just part of the game, and it's made up for in all of the attention to detail. Great work for 72 hours! |
| Aug 2 00:53:27 | 3h 42m | Wave | ♥ 2 | Fantastic, beautiful work. I love the art style and the animations. The music sets the mood too, but I wanted a little bit more from the sound overall (but, as we all know, not always possible in 72 hours). Really though, awesome work focusing on aesthetics. |
| Aug 2 01:08:58 | 15m 31s | HE BEAT HER. | ♥ 1 | Great game. The music is really fantastic. It's mindblowing that you got this all done and in such a nice, tight aesthetic in 48 hours. Super-strong entry. |
| Aug 2 01:11:06 | 2m 08s | Running Out Of Tiles | ♥ 1 | Any chance for a Mac or web build? I'd love to give this a try! |
| Aug 2 13:16:28 | 12h 05m | Zombies 'n Kebabs | ♥ 1 | Looks like fun! Any chance of a Mac or web build? |
| Aug 2 15:20:02 | 2h 03m | Coffy | ♥ 1 | Super nice work for 72 hours, really impressive. I needed a bit more of a tutorial. It wasn't immediately clear how things switched to me (though, admittedly I don't play this kind of game very much), but 2nd playthrough it made more sense. I got a "Forbidden" when I tried to run the web version. Might have to do with my privacy settings conflicting with the site. |
| Aug 2 15:24:06 | 4m 04s | Recoil - Mike Said No Short Titles | ♥ 1 | Really nice work. It always impresses me that people are able to make puzzle games in 48 hours, coming up with both concept and the puzzles themselves. |
| Aug 2 21:17:26 | 5h 53m | Hungry Sky | ♥ 2 | Very cool! Great idea. I love the random level generation. In my best run, I ended up kind of bouncing back and forth one one island for a little while, avoiding water. |
| Aug 2 21:23:59 | 6m 33s | Every Light Goes Out | ♥ 2 | Kudos for trying something new! I think it works really well! |
| Aug 2 21:32:30 | 8m 31s | Cyberhell Cleaner | ♥ 2 | Cool. Great vibe and overall aesthetic. Clearly lots of effort put into the sprites here. Nice work. |
| Aug 2 21:38:30 | 6m 00s | Last Train Out | ♥ 3 | Very cool. Awesome work for 72 hours. I LOVE the background (the sreenshots are actually what drew me to the game in the first place). Nice twist on the resource management in being able to switch between characters too. |
| Aug 2 22:09:18 | 30m 48s | Mad Trax | ♥ 2 | This is a great idea, and I love the vaporwave aesthetic (maybe the music could have gone in that direction too). There's a bit much going on for me to balance. Perhaps a tutorial level would help cut down on the steep difficulty curve. |
| Aug 2 23:35:06 | 1h 25m | Lost in Translation at Space | ♥ 4 | I was a bit dubious about this, but I found that I really liked it! ...and my two-year-old in the next room thought it was hilarious. Really great job engaging with nontraditional interface, and I love the overall mood of the game too. I will say: I ended up taking a screenshot of possible commands, because I got so sick of saying help in the first area. |
| Aug 3 13:48:31 | 14h 13m | Sensory | ♥ 1 | Great original idea. I like the progression and the world that you set up. I also really liked the sound, is there a reason you opted out for "Audio"? |
| Aug 3 14:05:05 | 16m 34s | Super Helpful Man: An Old Man Super Hero Handy Man Simulator | ♥ 0 | Looks like fun! Any chance for a web/Mac build? |
| Aug 3 14:28:59 | 23m 54s | Spaceship Ferry Captain's Handbook, Chapter 12: What to Do in the Event You... | ♥ 1 | Cool! I really like the unique control scheme (which is basically like the whole game!). I kept spinning through space for a while, but when it all clicked it was really satisfying. |
| Aug 3 14:33:55 | 4m 56s | VoltRush | ♥ 1 | I did it! This was pretty fun, with surprisingly satisfying controls. I like that you have music too, though I wanted the loop to be a little longer so it didn't repeat as much. Keep up the good work! |
| Aug 3 14:40:21 | 6m 26s | PoweRL | ♥ 1 | Really nice work here. I love how clean the audio is (I love grimy bit-junk too, but, boy, it's nice to have some things that aren't that too). I'm also a big roguelike fan (in moderation) so this is right up my alley. Really nice entry. |
| Aug 3 15:17:06 | 36m 45s | The Hall of the Sorcerer King | ♥ 2 | This was great! I'm a little dubious about Twine, but I've already played a few games this jam that are making me really appreciate what you can do in it like this one. It's like Zork with better controls! Nice job. |
| Aug 3 15:19:07 | 2m 01s | Battery Block: Bypass | ♥ 1 | Looks like fun! Any chance for a web or Mac version? |
| Aug 3 15:31:12 | 12m 05s | Gem Diver | ♥ 1 | Neat! I really like the hand-drawn art. It adds to the vibe of the whole thing feeling like a this childlike innocent world. That said, it gets REALLY HARD really fast! I wasn't able to finish! |
| Aug 3 18:27:09 | 2h 55m | Power, MT | ♥ 1 | Great job.... I used to live in Montana (not Power, though). Really nice job with the ambience. Audio adds a lot to these Twine games and really bring them to the next level. |
| Aug 3 18:27:53 | 44s | President of Zorga | ♥ 1 | Looks like fun! Any chance of a Mac/web version so I can give it a try? |
| Aug 3 19:37:58 | 1h 10m | Exile | ♥ 1 | Looks like a lot of fun! Any chance of a Mac or Web build? |
| Aug 3 19:41:09 | 3m 11s | Berzerk Hunt | ♥ 1 | This is great. Awesome work for 72 hours! I really like the graphics and the overall vibe. I kind of feel like it might have been better with keyboard-only controls (i.e. no mouse), but that's a small nitpick. Nice work! |
| Aug 3 19:46:39 | 5m 30s | Down in the Light Mine | ♥ 1 | Neat game. I like the hybrid pixel/3D graphics. Really nice work for 48 hours. It makes me want to study Blender more. |
| Aug 3 22:57:42 | 3h 11m | Discipline and Punish | ♥ 2 | Awesome and grim! I love the dissonance between the music and visuals and the content of the game itself. Of course it's a little hard to crack the code of what the right balance is, but that's the point. Really nice work! |
| Aug 4 15:44:51 | 16h 47m | Journey in the Dark | ♥ 1 | Nice work! I really like the aesthetic here. The silhouettes and minimal sound design work together really well. |
| Aug 4 19:24:06 | 3h 39m | No Sorcerer's Sky | ♥ 1 | This is a neat game. I really like the vibe of the music and the final cutscenes. I wish I could see my available resources without going to the main tower though. That would really help me with the flow. Great work for 72 hours! |
| Aug 4 19:48:43 | 24m 37s | Fukushima Robot | ♥ 0 | This looks like a lot of fun! Any chance for a Mac or web version? |
| Aug 4 20:06:42 | 17m 59s | Scale of Life | ♥ 3 | Neat game! Great graphics and audio design. I'm going to echo some of the other comments above, though, that I'm not sure about the theme integration, which seems pretty important for Ludum Dare! |
| Aug 4 20:10:49 | 4m 07s | Powercharge | ♥ 1 | Man, this is awesome! I HATED these old Tiger electronic games... almost ruined me on games for life, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a brilliant re-imagining of them. Really nice work! |
| Aug 4 20:13:38 | 2m 49s | Tesla Siblings | ♥ 1 | This looks great! Any chance for a Mac/web version? |
| Aug 4 20:16:24 | 2m 46s | Battery | ♥ 0 | Any chance for a recharge? |
| Aug 4 20:26:28 | 10m 04s | Turrets Turrets | ♥ 0 | Wow. Nice game. That last wave (I hope it was the last wave) was insane, though, I was not prepared. Anyway, I play a lot of tower defense games, and I think this was a really unique take on it. Nice work. |
| Aug 4 20:27:50 | 1m 22s | The Leech | ♥ 0 | This looks awesome. Any chance for a Mac or web build? |
| Aug 4 20:34:39 | 6m 49s | People are the power | ♥ 1 | Neat! I love Pico-8. Great work on this--really original and fun. It took me a moment to figure out it worked when you released the button, but once I got it I fried a lot of people. Fun entry! |
| Aug 4 21:02:41 | 28m 02s | False Game | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! A couple thoughts: -The difficulty spike at the rainbow dragon on the second stage is a bit too much. It took me three tries even using the bazooka cheat. -The music is great, but I think you should have a warning about the amount of profanity in the lyrics. Overall, though, great entry! Keep up the good work! |
| Aug 4 21:45:36 | 42m 55s | Blocks of Power | ♥ 0 | Neat! Great job with the music and sound too, which often get overlooked in the 48-hour compo submissions. It's impressive you were able to put together the audio and the graphics/gameplay over the course of the compo! |
| Aug 4 21:48:40 | 3m 04s | Dim Wit | ♥ 1 | Neat! Great, simple idea well executed. I'm not much of a score-attack kind of guy, so a couple of playthroughs and I was satisfied. Great job putting this all together (with music!) in 48 hours. |
| Aug 4 21:52:48 | 4m 08s | Lifeforce Deathrun | ♥ 0 | Nice entry. I love the graphics, and I'm stoked to see more and more compo entries that actually have some audio! I'm not a huge player of infinite runners as a genre, but this seems like a good one to me! |
| Aug 4 21:57:26 | 4m 38s | Politics - Rome | ♥ 0 | I really like the graphical style and the idea here. There's a lot going on, and I didn't feel like I ever got off to a good start. Perhaps some hints/tutorial to get your started? But kudos on taking on a unique concept and making me learn something in the process! |
| Aug 4 21:59:52 | 2m 26s | Aesthetics Raider | ♥ 0 | Not bad! I like the vaporwave music. The world needs more a e s t h e t i c s, especially the game world. |
| Aug 4 22:36:42 | 36m 50s | Unpluged-bot | ♥ 1 | Nice. Cute and straightforward--I like it. I think you do a great job of "teaching" how to play your game each level too. Really nice work for 72 hours. |
| Aug 4 22:40:19 | 3m 37s | Dauntless Run | ♥ 1 | Cool game! I really wanted some old-school-type music here, but I really liked your SFX. The gameplay feels pretty nice, and I think this is definitely in line with the theme. Nice work for 72 hours! |
| Aug 4 22:43:53 | 3m 34s | Mr Mayor's Energy Crisis | ♥ 1 | Nice. I like the music and the overall vibe (and the ducks). It took me a bit to figure out what I could click on (maybe some simple in-game instructions would be nice), but very nice entry! |
| Aug 4 23:00:09 | 16m 16s | I'm Fine | ♥ 1 | Yay! That made me happy. I like how there's redemption here. I think that really elevates the game (of course that's my personal taste, perhaps). Really nice work on a strong unified concept. |
| Aug 5 00:55:25 | 1h 55m | Soul Gun | ♥ 2 | Nice game. Super-hard! I love the graphics, sound, and the overall aesthetic. They all contribute to a cool retro feel that you don't get a lot. Very cool. |
| Aug 5 01:00:47 | 5m 22s | Heal The Dark Lord! | ♥ 2 | The art here is beautiful. I could look at this all day. I love the original concept too. I'm not sure how stoked I am about the trial and error of figuring out what makes a pill and syringe. Maybe some in-game hints to get you started? Overall, nice work, interesting entry! |
| Aug 5 01:06:45 | 5m 58s | Fuse Cell | ♥ 1 | Wow. Fantastic entry. This looks beautiful and the gameplay is clever and fun. Really nice work. |
| Aug 5 18:55:24 | 17h 48m | Pipe Trek | ♥ 0 | Sweet. I love these TNG graphics and how you were able to connect the gameplay to a Star Trek Theme overall. Very smart work. May the force be with you. |
| Aug 5 18:59:56 | 4m 32s | Ministry of Synthesis | ♥ 1 | Gosh. This is amazing. As someone who teaches synthesis, I want to use this in my classes. Super smart, and crazy good idea. Really mind-blowing for 48 hours. Congratulations! Oh, and make a Mac version! |
| Aug 5 19:47:33 | 47m 37s | Ashmup | ♥ 0 | Neat! Great little game for 48 hours. I like the sophistication of the energy and power ups (though it took me a little time to work out the difference). Nice work! |
| Aug 5 20:52:28 | 1h 04m | There's No Place Like Home | ♥ 1 | This is a neat game. I love the vaporwave graphics and the controls. It's a little opaque how to best split your resources. Maybe if the shield stayed up a little longer after you pull the plug? I know I'm trying to allocate resources well, but I don't feel like I have enough guidance how to do so. |
| Aug 5 20:56:53 | 4m 25s | CoolCoalGame | ♥ 1 | Interesting resource management game! Glad to hear that you learned a lot in the process, and good luck with your continuing battle with Unity! |
| Aug 5 21:04:27 | 7m 34s | Outside | ♥ 0 | Nice! I love the opening and closing photos. I almost wish the whole game had been like that! Really nice smart puzzle (and cool music) for 48 hours. Great entry! |
| Aug 6 01:08:03 | 4h 03m | Aphelion | ♥ 2 | pewpewpewpewpewpew! Nice game! The hit detection seems a bit mixed at times, but it's good fun to traverse the universe sucking energy from everyone else. |
| Aug 6 17:35:16 | 16h 27m | Saturnalia | ♥ 0 | Yo! Just echoing the above comments about this crashing on Mac a couple clicks in. Let me know if you post a fix, because I'd love to play this! |
| Aug 6 17:39:23 | 4m 07s | Rat blasteroid | ♥ 0 | Nice entry! I like the graphics and sound. Like a lot of the commenters above, I had a bit of trouble figuring out the teleport, but once I got rolling it was pretty straightforward. Good work! |
| Aug 6 17:44:17 | 4m 54s | Fully Powered: Enough power to save the world | ♥ 1 | HAHAHAHAH. I REALLY like these graphics (for some reason). There's something super-satisfying about the 3D backgrounds and the very lofi foreground action. The dissonance fits the mood over the game. Controls are a bit odd here, and I never really got the hang of shooting upwards, but really cute and fun overall. Nice work! |
| Aug 6 17:49:06 | 4m 49s | The Overseer | ♥ 0 | There's only a Windows version here. |
| Aug 6 17:53:03 | 3m 57s | Dreamlight | ♥ 1 | Really stylish entry. I love the graphics and how they fit in with the gameplay. It's super-hard, though that seems like what you were going for. Great work. |
| Aug 6 17:59:48 | 6m 45s | Light It Up | ♥ 1 | Yay! Squares! (My game is about the adventures of squares too). Nice entry. It took me a sec to figure out the real goal was not to just make it to the light switch, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Great first entry! |
| Aug 6 18:03:20 | 3m 32s | The Shutdown | ♥ 1 | Wow. Really nice work for 72 hours. There's a whole lot of content here, and it looks really nice in terms of graphics. |
| Aug 6 18:07:26 | 4m 06s | Jetpack June and the Tower of Power | ♥ 1 | Go Jetpack June! This is a great compo entry! The controls are a touch frustrating. I feel like you should just be able to hold down for the jetpack (not re-tap), but I think that challenge was what you were going for anyway. Really nice work! |
| Aug 6 18:11:57 | 4m 31s | NOT ALONE | ♥ 1 | Ha! Short and sweet. I like it. I really like the graphics especially of the bad guy(s). It's kind of abstract and child-like which really fits with the overall aesthetic of the game. |
| Aug 7 00:54:59 | 6h 43m | Slowbot | ♥ 1 | Wow. Very nice. Solid compo entry for 48 hours! You got music, sound, lighting effects, and nice graphics all done! I really like the design of the robot too. Great work. |
| Aug 7 16:27:07 | 15h 32m | Proto472 | ♥ 1 | This is great! Awesome use of the 3D and fog. Great job with the music too--no small feat for 48 hours. Solid entry! |
| Aug 7 18:10:49 | 1h 43m | Power Bunnies | ♥ 0 | Very cool! This is great. A whole lot of fun and a really original idea. I agree with those above commenting on the trickiness of the isometric controls. I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it though. Really nice work! |
| Aug 7 18:14:10 | 3m 21s | Times New Robots | ♥ 0 | Can't seem to get the Mac version to open. Screen Shot 2017-08-07 at 2.13.27 PM.png At least the finder face is smiling. |
| Aug 7 18:21:26 | 7m 16s | The Light City of Karola | ♥ 1 | Wow. Really nice graphics and gameplay. I love how the subtle contracting ring shows the remaining power. I think a lot of your other visual choices here (like camera zooms) really serve the gameplay and overall aesthetic. Great entry! |
| Aug 7 18:34:54 | 13m 28s | Yet Another Exhausted Day | ♥ 1 | Awesome COMPO entry. I love this game! It's a clever concept, really smartly put together, and fun to play. Great job with the graphics and sound too. I am definitely not on board with the post-processing focus effect. It game a bit of a headache to be honest, but I applaud you for trying something new that fits with your game's overall aesthetic. |
| Aug 7 18:44:40 | 9m 46s | Last Shine | ♥ 1 | Cool! Neat little mini-streets of rage or something. I like it. This is really impressive work for 72 hours with 16-bit style graphics and audio. Nice work! |
| Aug 7 20:59:34 | 2h 14m | Manual Overload | ♥ 0 | Nice! I found this game through Warp Door. Very cool. I love the clear polish in both the visuals and audio. It all really comes together in a beautiful but straightforward game world. Really great work! |
| Aug 7 21:14:25 | 14m 51s | The adventure of Dotty | ♥ 1 | This is deceptively sophisticated in both visuals and gameplay. I was really pleasantly surprised. I really like the world you set up here, and your screenshots don't do justice to your visuals! Perhaps it's because a lot of the polish here is in the movement. Really nice compo entry! |
| Aug 7 21:17:36 | 3m 11s | The World's Worst Segway | ♥ 0 | Cool! Nice little game with kind of sweet particle effects! Great job getting the whole package together in 48 hours. |
| Aug 7 21:19:16 | 1m 40s | Avalon | ♥ 1 | Neat idea. Looking forward to what you come up with next jam! |
| Aug 7 21:24:47 | 5m 31s | Drone Supervisor | ♥ 1 | This is amazing for 48 hours. I can't even imagine figuring out all these mechanics and level design in that amount of time. Really impressive. Also, great idea having the tutorial. I would have been COMPLETELY lost without it. |
| Aug 7 21:30:11 | 5m 24s | RUN! Before the power runs out! | ♥ 1 | Neat game. The most impressive part of this is that this is your own game engine, nice work! I didn't make it the first time (not knowing I needed keys the first time), and then made it rather easily the second, but I really liked the heart-pumping background music throughout! |
| Aug 7 21:35:53 | 5m 42s | Her Final Words | ♥ 0 | Really well written. You gave me a colossal sad. This is one of the several really impressive text-based games that I've seen this jam. I'm definitely rethinking the possibilities of the medium. Great work! |
| Aug 7 21:40:04 | 4m 11s | Soulviver | ♥ 0 | Nice! Great graphics and pretty fun gameplay. It's pretty hard right off the bat, though, so it might be targetting players who are more hardcore than I am, but I do like the stabbing. |
| Aug 7 21:42:42 | 2m 38s | Electro-Brains | ♥ 1 | Nice little twin-stick shooter. I love the electrical effects. You can see the time spent on them. I gotta say. I'm sick of zombies though. Can I pretend that they're aliens? |
| Aug 7 21:48:52 | 6m 10s | Neuropower | ♥ 1 | This is just fantastic--really excellent. The gameplay is really compelling and unique, and I think the graphics support everything really nicely. It definitely needs some music or adaptive sound that pulses in time with the neurons charging (well, maybe it doesn't "definitely" need that, but that's what I'd do). If the whole game were musically pulsing that would be really intense and beautiful! |
| Aug 7 23:18:58 | 1h 30m | Modular Destruction Labs | ♥ 2 | Super-fun! This is a really clever, original, and fantastic work for 72 hours. I love the infinite possibilities in handing over the robot design to the player. Great polish with the sound and graphics too. Excellent job all around. |
| Aug 8 12:08:37 | 12h 49m | Runnerbot LD39Entry | ♥ 1 | Nice! I like it! This is really impressive procedural level design. I didn't realize that it hadn't been hand-done until afterwards, it feels really natural and balanced. Great graphics sound and gameplay controls too. Really nice work overall! |
| Aug 8 14:57:07 | 2h 48m | Back Home | ♥ 1 | Beautiful chill-out game. I was relaxed but alert steering my little squirrel through loops and drafts. It reminds me of gliding in one of those Rocksteady Batman games. Really nice game! |
| Aug 8 15:01:39 | 4m 32s | Zone Slayer | ♥ 1 | Ha! Very nice NES recreation (though you'd never be able to do that nice a rotation on the NES). I love how you completely embraced the 8 bit aesthetic. I don't think the world needs any more zombie games though (unless it's a tribute to the late George Romero). Maybe I'll just pretend that they're aliens. |
| Aug 8 15:12:50 | 11m 11s | Your Friend Is Lost In The Woods | ♥ 2 | Great game! This is a really clever use of the theme and really interesting. It's a bit hard to know when to use your phone and when to conserve, kind of necessitating multiple playthroughs. I love the overall style and how the graphics and sound work together with the loneliness of the story. Really nice entry. |
| Aug 9 19:20:05 | 28h 07m | While True Do | ♥ 1 | At first I was like, "What is this?" Then I was like "WHAT IS THIS!?" Really nice work. I love this kind of thing. I'm not sure if I understand it, but I'm also not sure if that really matters. It doesn't feel "weird for the sake of weird." It feels like there's some direction to it. Love the graphics and audio too. Really fantastic entry all round. |
| Aug 9 23:19:21 | 3h 59m | Float | ♥ 1 | Great work. Really clever mechanics that feel pretty good. There seems to be a pretty intense difficulty curve here, so it's a bit rough for casual gamers like me. Overall, super-strong entry and really smart work. |
| Aug 9 23:38:58 | 19m 37s | Deep Raider | ♥ 2 | Really nicely done. This is a really inspired idea executed really nicely. It does feel a little hard to figure out, but it's super fun to float around and encounter the beautiful sea creatures. Really nice work. |
| Aug 9 23:45:48 | 6m 50s | Robby Goes Rogue | ♥ 1 | Cool! Nice entry. I love the music and how it sneaks in there and keeps your heart pumping. It's a little challenging, but I like the mechanics a lot, and I think this is fantastic work for 48 hours! Congratulations! |
| Aug 10 16:43:14 | 16h 57m | Running the Marathon | ♥ 1 | Cool! Great idea and deceptively complex graphics. I have to admit I didn't make it to the end (I don't think I have the concentration and patience to do so), but it's an it'd be a great exercise in mindfulness to do so! |
| Aug 11 20:12:13 | 27h 28m | Ludum Dare 39 - Untitled Fishing Game | ♥ 0 | Neat little game! I LOVE these graphics. The voxel fish look especially cool. I'm not super into score-attack, so the gameplay wasn't really my thing, but I think the overall package is pretty darn good. Nice work! |
| Aug 11 20:20:48 | 8m 35s | GLOW | ♥ 1 | Really nice graphics and sound. Awesome feel on the overall aesthetic. I'm not sure I have the patience to navigate through those long, tight, green corridors with the loose controls, but I totally get how the controls are part of the aesthetic that you have going on here. Anyway awesome compo entry. Great work! |
| Aug 11 21:48:48 | 1h 28m | Satellite Suicide Burn | ♥ 1 | Really nice job. This is super-hard, but that doesn't take away from all the things you've got going on here. Any compo entry that actually includes sound is a big deal to me! Interesting, fun game for 48 hours! |
| Aug 11 21:53:39 | 4m 51s | FILEFICTION | ♥ 1 | Neat! I played through a few times, and got some different endings. I wish there were a little more interactivity, but you have great groundwork here for a really neat adventure. |
| Aug 11 23:25:14 | 1h 31m | Superstuff | ♥ 0 | Neat! I'm not a big flappy-bird fan, so maybe I'm not the target audience here. I do like that you took that as your base and altered it significantly, though. I feel like the music maybe should have been a bit more heart-pumping, but, for a compo entry, having music at all is huge! Nice work! |
| Aug 11 23:29:36 | 4m 22s | Bolt World | ♥ 2 | Hey! This reminds me of my entry for LD38! ...and of course I mean that as a compliment! I'm not sure if I love or hate the graphics. At first it seems like they're clashing, but I actually think it might be right in line with your aesthetic goals, though. Great work for 48 hours! |
| Aug 11 23:33:42 | 4m 06s | Buzzy Bee | ♥ 1 | Cute! Very straightforward clicker. I do like that it's a bee though... somehow that seems to add some sense of urgency to everything (and it makes it more adorable). Great work for 48 hours! |
| Aug 12 00:07:12 | 33m 30s | Caffeine Raid | ♥ 2 | Cool! Really impressive work (especially in terms of graphics) for 72 hours. This is a fun little game. Coffee is life! |
| Aug 12 01:01:52 | 54m 40s | The Color of Days To Come. | ♥ 0 | This looks awesome! Any chance for a Mac or web build? |
| Aug 12 01:08:14 | 6m 22s | Energy Boy | ♥ 1 | Neat game. I finished! This is a lot fun. The jump felt a bit floaty, both when in the air and when landing, but, I finished, so it can't be such a big deal. Keep up the good work! |
| Aug 12 01:13:07 | 4m 53s | Energy Robot - A tale that never ends | ♥ 1 | Neat. I like it. I think it's a bit of a cheat that an oilcan is hazard, not a boon. I love the sound (it keeps me pumped) and the music loop too. Nice work! |
| Aug 12 13:28:10 | 12h 15m | Be Queen Bee | ♥ 1 | Nice! I like it. There's a lot of polish here for 72 hours. Really great job. You should start to start giving some more feedback to get this game more attention! |
| Aug 12 23:01:32 | 9h 33m | PowerMan | ♥ 1 | Nice job! This is an impressive package for a 48-hour entry! I was running on a mac and seemed to have a couple of bugs. I think if I'm pressing a key when I land the game gets locked somehow. Not sure if I'm diagnosing that properly or if that's just on my machine. Anyway, cool graphics, smart mechanic and great job getting sound together too! |
| Aug 12 23:08:00 | 6m 28s | Robo's Toy Tumble | ♥ 0 | Cool. I played this with my two-year-old son watching, and he loved the teddy bears. Great work putting the music together in 48 hours for the compo. I agree with the comments above that it's a little repetitive, but making that AND a game in 48 hours is no small feat! |
| Aug 12 23:11:43 | 3m 43s | Running Out Of Power Plant | ♥ 0 | Ok. This is silly, but I think I like it. The "lament" option reminds me of Ennuigi: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2232&pid=12311&autoplay=1#pp Fun idea. And impressive work for 48 hours! |
| Aug 13 03:38:58 | 4h 27m | Power Idle Clicker | ♥ 1 | I came. I saw. I clicked on things... and I had a good time! EDIT: Some commas would be nice, though, to help see the thousands and millions! |
| Aug 13 12:32:29 | 8h 53m | Super Starcade PANIC | ♥ 1 | This looks really fun! Any chance for a Mac or web build? |
| Aug 13 12:43:07 | 10m 38s | Ads will tell our Story for us | ♥ 1 | Yo! Echoing @tim-eriksen above, it crashes for me on Mac everytime the first lightning bolt hits. |
| Aug 13 12:48:54 | 5m 47s | Brittle Power | ♥ 1 | Nice. I love tower-defense games. I've never made one myself... it seems like balancing would be really tough, especially in 48 hours! I agree with the comments above that I want some kind of tutorial. Or at least a more shallow difficulty curve. Good luck with post-compo fine-tuning! |
| Aug 13 16:39:10 | 3h 50m | Is Your Refrigerator Running? | ♥ 1 | Great looking (and sounding) game! Man, do I hate 3D platforming, though. It's not you, it's me. I really wanted to play more to hear more of the voice. There's a lot of nice, compelling stuff in this game. Great work! |
| Aug 14 11:17:13 | 18h 38m | BATTERYMAN RECHARGES THE WORLD! | ♥ 4 | Very cool. This is super slick for 72 hours! I love the graphics and character design (oversized upper bodies are the best. On top of that you've done a great job with sound and music, not to mention the fact that you've also got voice acting going on here! Really nice work. |
| Aug 14 13:08:45 | 1h 51m | Turn Towards the Light | ♥ 0 | Nice! It's like Sonic the Hedgehog... but in the dark! I have the same problem with this that I do with sonic, though, which is once I'm dashing, I need a bigger field of view so I can have some semblance of control. I want to run fast! But I also don't want to smash into slugs because I can't see them! That's a small complaint though (and more about me than anything else...). Really nice work! |
| Aug 14 13:12:16 | 3m 31s | Goo-Boy and the Maw of Darkness | ♥ 1 | Cool! Especially the visuals. I like the low-res lighting effects and the mostly monochrome world. Really nice work. |
| Aug 14 13:14:46 | 2m 30s | Rocket Bow | ♥ 0 | Neat! A nice little twin-stick shooter with sweet graphics (especially the particle effects). Great work! |
| Aug 15 00:09:41 | 10h 54m | Battery of Power | ♥ 1 | Nice. Cool entry. I'm not the biggest twin-stick shooter aficionado, but like all of the little details here like the screen shake and audio. Great work for 48 hours! |
| Aug 15 00:23:01 | 13m 20s | Classic Games: Getting On | ♥ 1 | Wow! Super-impressive work putting together 3 games in 72 hours! Great work. I like your take on the theme and these classic games too. Well done. |
| Aug 15 00:33:03 | 10m 02s | Running out of Sugar | ♥ 1 | Cool! Cute idea, well executed! Just a heads up: I had a problem where I went to the "about" page" and wasn't able to return to the menu. |
| Aug 15 12:12:16 | 11h 39m | Running out of Pow E.R. | ♥ 1 | Hear-pumping little runner! I kind of like the minimalist graphics (and the camera zooms). Nice work! |
| Aug 15 12:45:52 | 33m 36s | When It Counts | ♥ 1 | Interesting story! This reminded me a bit of the game by @Eliana that I played. So sad! Nice animation on the walking too. Great work. |
| Aug 15 21:07:28 | 8h 21m | ROBOT POWER | ♥ 1 | Great polish on this game. The controls are tough for me (as I'm not a terribly hardcore guy), but I definitely appreciate the work put into the details of both the graphics and sound. Nice work! |
| Aug 16 14:14:39 | 17h 07m | Night Watch | ♥ 1 | Really sleek game. Once I got the hand of it, it was pretty compelling and really fun. Great job with the graphics too. I think there's definitely room to expand on this too, if you're so inclined. I'd love to see what you do with it! |
| Aug 16 15:50:03 | 1h 35m | Out Of Rage | ♥ 0 | Neat! I'm a big Final Fight fan, so this is right up my alley. I'm not completely clear on how this fits in with the theme, but it's fun, and has a lot of great details in the polish. Great work! You should rate some other people's games to get this game some more attention! |
| Aug 16 19:12:37 | 3h 22m | Breathless Parks - Running, out of Power | ♥ 1 | This looks like a lot of fun! Any chance for a Mac or web build? |
| Aug 16 19:28:35 | 15m 58s | Light Switch Crusader | ♥ 1 | Really nice! This has to be the most original take on the theme that I've come across so far (and a positive ecological message to boot!). Great graphics and audio (especially the voice acting) and impressive gameplay for 72 hours. Cool entry! Congratulations! |
| Aug 17 20:54:00 | 25h 25m | Short Lived | ♥ 1 | Cool game. I like the in-game tutorial. Very clean. A little detail in your platform graphics might go a long way. The robots and energy fire thingys seem a little out of place in the solid grey backgrounds. That said, this is awesome work for the weekend. Keep it up! |
| Aug 17 23:32:48 | 2h 38m | Out of Power | ♥ 1 | Very cool. Smart use of adaptive audio (and visuals!). I wish there were some kind of music that got overtaken by the static, but perhaps in the post-jam version. When I first saw this, I thought of @matt-fabius 's entry, since your main characters have some similarities! Really nice graphics and polish. Great work! |
| Aug 18 01:07:44 | 1h 34m | RESISTANCE | ♥ 0 | I win! Fun game. Cool idea (and great implementation) with the procedural generation, and I really like the fact that we're all LEDs. As you mention, there are a number of.... undocumented features here. Some post-jam fixes might go a long way. Great entry! |
| Aug 18 01:21:10 | 13m 26s | Sabotage | ♥ 0 | Cool idea. This seems like a really fun and original idea, but I wasn't successful in deciphering the right combination to win. Maybe an "easy" tutorial runthrough that shows how to succeed before digging into this sophisticated interplay. Great work for 48 hours! |
| Aug 18 13:17:13 | 11h 56m | Island of Revolution | ♥ 2 | This is a really clever game. It was a bit tough to figure out, even following your instructions and keeping the help GUI up the whole time, but once I got rolling it was really interesting and well-thought out! Awesome entry for 48 hours! |
| Aug 18 13:28:12 | 10m 59s | POWER | ♥ 1 | Very cool. This game oozes with style and mood (though you seem to have opted out of that category!). There are lots of really great details here, and I like the addition of a power up system too. It helps keeps thing interesting. Really nice work! |
| Aug 19 01:10:40 | 11h 42m | Revolution | ♥ 1 | Cool and clever idea. It's kind of a rougelike, but, of course, not. It's not totally clear what the goals are at first, so I had to come back to this page. Perhaps a little more clarification in-game? |
| Aug 19 20:11:26 | 19h 00m | Lost In Spb | ♥ 1 | Interesting game! I'm not sure how to win (or if you can). I think I saw everything, though. In my browser I think the icons at the top of the game were cut off, which might be why I didn't understand things! Really nice polished graphics and great idea! |
| Aug 20 11:15:51 | 15h 04m | Power Rhythm | ♥ 1 | Nice take on the theme! I made a music (not-quite rhyhtm) game too. The controls here are clever--it's not just left right and up, you have to tap space too, which I think works really well. Cool music and visual effects too! |
| Aug 20 11:23:49 | 7m 58s | IRL JAM | ♥ 1 | Great work, but I see you opted out of the "Audio" category. |
| Aug 20 11:24:56 | 1m 07s | VOID | ♥ 0 | I am staring directly into the void. |
| Aug 20 12:27:58 | 1h 03m | (Unfinished) TAP K.O. | ♥ 1 | Neat idea. Better luck next time! |
| Aug 20 12:33:05 | 5m 07s | I need coffee! | ♥ 0 | Great start! I really like these graphics. I wish there were some other element--some X-factor--to motivate my click decisions in an interesting way. |
| Aug 20 12:52:31 | 19m 26s | I Have No Spoons And I Must Survive In A Capitalist Society | ♥ 0 | Interesting! I have flashbacks to the Tick... SPOOOOOON! The world needs more late-capitalist games about spoons. |
| Aug 20 13:45:20 | 52m 49s | Turtle Jam | ♥ 0 | Cool! I like the South Park style graphics and the sound design. Nice work! |
| Aug 20 13:48:26 | 3m 06s | Paranoid Android | ♥ 0 | Neat! I like how the sound and music fit together with the graphics to create a kind of unified mood (and a happy one at that!). Nice work! |
| Aug 20 13:49:57 | 1m 31s | [Unfinished] Banana-Sprites tools | ♥ 0 | That is one groovy banana! |
| Aug 20 13:57:00 | 7m 03s | Powerlift | ♥ 0 | Nice! Really great graphics and sound. I'm not totally sure what my goal is, but that's true whenever I exercise. How do I lift with my left hand? |
| Aug 20 14:00:22 | 3m 22s | Carrot Labyrinth | ♥ 0 | Nice! The wall collision is a bit too strict, perhaps, but this is a really clever game. I love the adaptive music and the graphics. Really nice work! |
| Aug 20 14:07:42 | 7m 20s | Blackout Defense | ♥ 0 | Hmmm. Playing the web version, nothing really happened... I walked around. The game told me to press F to mine and it didn't seem to work. No enemies ever showed up. |
| Aug 20 15:11:38 | 1h 03m | Voyage of the Indefatigable | ♥ 1 | This is really neat. It's a bit inscrutable in some ways. It's not completely clear what you need to do to react to what, but I really like it (played it several times, never quite succeeding). |
| Aug 20 15:16:46 | 5m 08s | Spaceship Rescue | ♥ 2 | Nice. Great use of the music. It reminds me of this: lhlsydflv1ry.jpg MV5BMTI1NTEzNDIwMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTQ2MzI5MQ@@._V1_.jpg |
| Aug 20 15:19:13 | 2m 27s | Mystic Power | ♥ 1 | Not sure I get it here. I tried once with the white spell (and promptly expired), then I chose another spell and it didn't seem to fire. |
| Aug 20 15:48:20 | 29m 07s | powerrungame | ♥ 1 | Nice. The controls are a bit challenging, but any procedurally generated jam game is AOK by me! |
| Aug 20 17:47:49 | 1h 59m | Nuclear Dash | ♥ 0 | Cool. Great start! |
| Aug 20 17:58:06 | 10m 17s | Night Shift | ♥ 0 | Very cool. I like this kind of puzzle game, and the "running out of power" idea seems to fit well. |
| Aug 20 19:25:53 | 1h 27m | Surge | ♥ 1 | Great game... just a bit buggy. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH. Just kidding. Really nice work. |
| Aug 21 01:13:03 | 5h 47m | Recharge | ♥ 2 | Great start. You've got a very cool vibe here. I'd love to see the finished game! |
