Aug 1 21:05:55 Energy Boy ♥ 1 Simple but pretty good entry. Nice job! Hit box on monsters seemed like it might be a little large but otherwise no issues
Aug 2 00:29:18 3h 23m Inefficient Plasma Weapon ♥ 1 Built a few games like this myself because I really love them. This was a good take on it, the hit box on the fuel seemed overly large maybe but otherwise I thought it felt pretty good. Nice job!
Aug 2 00:33:29 4m 11s RESISTANCE ♥ 0 Really like the sound in this game! I think there are probably too many energy packs around to make the game challenging, perhaps if they dropped after killing an enemy would be better. I "won" but I'm not exactly sure what the win condition was :) Overall I liked this, just wish it was a bit longer.
Aug 2 22:11:21 21h 37m Lost in Translation at Space ♥ 3 Seems like this would be really cool but I can't get the mic to work on the game. He just keeps say "I don't understand". But looks like a great concept!
Aug 3 21:28:45 23h 17m RADARjAM ♥ 1 Agree with the others, this is really pretty difficult. I like the idea though and the graphic fit nicely with what you were going for I think. I think increasing the energy would be well within the rules still as it really isn't changing the overall mechanics just the balance.
Aug 4 22:39:06 25h 10m Lightbulb ♥ 1 Well that was interesting. I"m not sure it was exactly fun but it kept me busy sort of like a fidget cube :)
Aug 4 22:43:13 4m 07s Neon Knights: Mech Fighter ♥ 1 Looks like it would be pretty fun with 2 players but alas I am alone. I didn't count off any points for that though. Controls felt okay and it looks and sounds great. The Controls screen doesn't let you out of it as others have said (I used HTML5 version). Not a bad game, maybe add a basic AI for Player 2?
Aug 5 22:26:44 23h 43m Enervatus ♥ 0 Great game! Couldn't get right control to work for missile, had to use the mouse but otherwise pretty good. Progression felt good for the competition so you played just the right amount of time before it killed you off :)
Aug 5 22:29:52 3m 08s Gemheart Hunter ♥ 0 Neat idea. I found it a bit slow but otherwise was pretty good.
Aug 5 22:55:03 25m 11s Bolt World ♥ 2 Seems like the ball should roll a little faster when not using space bar power but otherwise seemed functional and entertaining for a couple plays. The score submission was a nice touch.
Aug 5 23:33:33 38m 30s PRAY FOR TESLA ♥ 0 I nice take on tower defense. Seems like it might be a bit better if you started with a bit more power but otherwise I really enjoyed that!
Aug 5 23:36:14 2m 41s Kings ♥ 3 I love card games on LD, this was a pretty good one. Definitely some polish would be good as others have said.
Aug 5 23:48:14 12m 00s CREEP ♥ 0 It was very odd and not user friendly but after a while I sort of figured out what I was doing I think. I like the idea but I think it needs some work. Looks like it might make an interesting mobile game
Aug 6 19:55:28 20h 07m ZETPACK-99 ♥ 1 This was really pretty cool. I generally don't care for puzzle style games but this worked for me. Nice job!
Aug 8 10:55:24 38h 59m I hate Snakes! ♥ 1 Not a bad entry. Needs some work. Seemed like I got stuck (invisible colliders maybe?) several times. I had to look up MonoGame, hadn't heard of it before so I learned something and need to check it out :)
Aug 8 11:01:00 5m 36s Soul Gun ♥ 3 Exceptionally difficult! I couldn't make it past the first spike area (your second screen shot). I tried over and over and couldn't figure it out. That said I love this concept and it looks really good. Maybe I didn't make it far enough into the game but how does the theme play into this?
Aug 8 18:47:57 7h 46m No Sorcerer's Sky ♥ 1 I love the concept but some instructions in game would be nice. Seems like I couldn't ever craft anything. I do like what you were going for and the game over screen was creative.
Aug 8 20:58:19 2h 10m Power Outage ♥ 1 I found this very difficult but perhaps that is what you were going for. I couldn't make it very far as I became frustrated. The good news is I think that with some polish this could be a good game. Maybe consider some other control choices or allow players to set them. I found it really hard to control the player and use cvb to control the brightness. Nice effort though, I can see that you put a lot of work into this.
Aug 8 21:02:23 4m 04s Defender of the Energy! ♥ 1 I absolutely love the art in this game! It set a great tone for the game which was pretty fun to play. Good sound as well. Nice job!
Aug 8 21:06:23 4m 00s PowerBot ♥ 1 A very different game, I liked it!
Aug 8 21:28:23 22m 00s daemon ♥ 0 Not bad, very difficult or I really suck at it (probably the later). I like the feel of the game but I couldn't make it very far. Perhaps if I started with more energy I could have.
Aug 8 21:30:57 2m 34s Cubed ♥ 1 Not a bad first entry. Sound would have been good, games just don't feel like games without sound :) By the way, I saw your game through the post on the front page (advertising works!) but you'll get more votes if you play other peoples games and rate them (I see you've given out zero ratings). You'll get more visibility in the game list if you are rating other games ;)
Aug 8 21:39:14 8m 17s Plug Me ♥ 1 Very clever game! I couldn't get past level 5. I love the graphics and the animates. When he flips upside down to plug in, that was just a great idea. Overall this hit all the right buttons for me as far as game play is concerned and I don't usually like puzzle games. Nice job! Might be good if you include in your instructions that you are suppose to click on the "1" in the level selection to actually play. I probably spent 3 minutes trying to figure out how to get past the menu.
Aug 8 22:37:43 58m 29s Berzerk Hunt ♥ 1 Final score was 355. Once I got the hang of it I found this exceptionally fun! The animations are great (especially game over). The mechanics are solid. Might be my favorite this LD!
Aug 9 21:02:21 22h 24m RobotPowerStrat ♥ 1 I tried it a few times but still didn't quite get what I was doing but that's probably on me. Looks good, some sound would have been nice.
Aug 9 21:05:12 2m 51s OxenOut ♥ 0 Nice idea, the sound was great especially on intro. Graphics great. Controlling was difficult to get the hang of, but the physics seemed good. Nice job!
Aug 10 20:38:49 23h 33m The Journalist ♥ 0 Needs some work, maybe each day the words are harder or fall faster something like that. I had to purposefully type wrong just to see how the theme was implemented. Wasn't bad, I love typing games. The overall look of the game is great.
Aug 10 20:42:11 3m 22s ZombieZurvivor ♥ 0 I like what going on here except the controls, little to difficult to move around. Otherwise well done!
Aug 11 20:46:25 24h 04m Satellite Suicide Burn ♥ 1 Very hard but enjoyable. Good job!
Aug 12 18:06:12 21h 19m DRAIN ♥ 1 Visually this look great. Seemed to work well. Not my kind of game really but what you were going for was well done. Nice job!
Aug 13 14:33:56 20h 27m Pipe Trek ♥ 0 Really good entry! Maybe it did this and I didn't notice it, but would have been cool if maybe as you get higher in level and take more and more damage you lose pieces of your circuits or they get broken or something like that. Then you have less options. That said it was already pretty challenging so maybe that's not necessary. Really liked it and the LCARS graphics are AWESOME
Aug 13 18:40:10 4h 06m Is Your Refrigerator Running? ♥ 1 Not a bad game. I loved the humor, the quotes on GameOver were a nice touch. Controls were a bit difficult for me to get use to, but pretty responsive once I did. I couldn't get past the first check point, because I'd run out of power and the battery that comes a couple platforms after the checkpoint didn't seem to get picked up when I'd collide with it. Sounds was pretty good too. Thanks for rating my game!
Aug 13 22:09:58 3h 29m Zombie Power Station ♥ 1 Sound effects were really good. I like the general idea. Some tips on controls would have been nice. Nice job!
Aug 17 01:09:56 74h 59m Battery of Power ♥ 1 Very nice entry. The firing controls took a bit of getting use to but overall well done.
Aug 19 13:16:02 60h 06m Thermal Power Plant K-13 ♥ 2 I love what I think is suppose to be going on here but alas I really have no idea how to control it. I managed to get a snowmobile moving once and from there it seemed like I was out of resources and couldn't ever figure out how to get more. A tutorial or some instructions would have been really nice and I see what looks like it could be an amazing entry. On the plus side, music is great and the graphics look really good. I can tell a lot of effort went into this.
Aug 19 14:42:29 1h 26m Get Energised! ♥ 1 Pretty difficult but otherwise kind of fun.
Aug 19 14:53:10 10m 41s Wayside : A world awaits you ♥ 0 Wow this was a great little game! I couldn't get past level 11. The only thing was I wasn't a fan of was the abrupt stopping. It's like when you get to the end of the power line that you drew, physics ends and you just fall. Maybe that was what you were going for though.
Aug 19 15:04:01 10m 51s Spacy adventure ♥ 1 Very nice game. I wasn't sure how I was generating money, maybe just from killing ships? I love shoot'em ups, this is great.
Aug 19 18:13:52 3h 09m Asteroids ♥ 1 Very nice. I really like the simple pixel style particles. It is the effect I was hoping to go for in mine and never got around to it. Music and sound was very nice. Only "issue" I saw was that if I stayed in the far right corner and just kept shooting I could survive for a pretty long time without any problems. Shameless request, if you haven't tried my game you should. I'd be interested in your feedback since we have some similar things going on: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/invaders-from-the-next-planet-over
Aug 19 19:44:05 1h 30m Constellation Exploration ♥ 1 Simple but fun. Maybe just a tad too difficult or I could just stink. Music and sound were very nice.
Aug 20 11:22:00 15h 37m Interstellar Electric Inc. ♥ 0 I rather enjoyed this! Maybe a bit more challenge would have been nice but overall very well done
Aug 20 17:06:47 5h 44m Blackout Defense ♥ 0 Couldn't ultimately figure out what I was suppose to be doing. Sounds was really good. I could move around, shoot, and I could mine but took forever to figure out how (have to hold F). Never saw any enemies to shoot at and never figured out what the building actually did. Seemed like a good idea though.
Aug 20 17:10:05 3m 18s Spaceship Rescue ♥ 1 Not bad. Took me a while to figure out what I was aiming for. Music was really good
Aug 20 17:13:19 3m 14s I Have No Spoons And I Must Survive In A Capitalist Society ♥ 0 Very tricky little game. Sound would have been nice.
Aug 20 17:16:20 3m 01s Turtle Jam ♥ 0 I like it. Love the South Park style art. Had to try a couple times to figure out what exactly each item was doing.
Aug 20 17:18:54 2m 34s Mystic Power ♥ 1 I'm not sure I ever really figured out what to do. I didn't seem to be killing any monsters and clicking the special icons on the right never seemed to do anything. I like the idea of just fighting off a large horde but never seemed to be something I could do.
Aug 20 17:21:02 2m 08s Voyage of the Indefatigable ♥ 1 Not bad, a bit complicated.
Aug 20 17:24:56 3m 54s Action Power Robot ♥ 0 Simple but a bit addicting :) I think if the bot was a tad bit slower or maybe the angle was a bit less I could have controlled him better. I liked it
Aug 20 17:27:23 2m 27s Carrot Labyrinth ♥ 0 I really liked the music slowing down as the energy ran out, very nice touch. Unfortunately I couldn't get past the second level. Seemed like a bug, I kept colliding with the wall and could squeeze through no matter what I tried. Other than that, seems like a great concept
Aug 20 17:30:10 2m 47s powerrungame ♥ 1 Seems like a good idea that didn't get finished. The bullet ricocheting off the walls were a nice touch. Took me a while to find out how to rotate. I could only play for a brief time because FPS games make me very dizzy so it is possible it would have got better
Aug 20 21:58:57 4h 28m PowerCube ♥ 1 I didn't hate this, it wasn't bad for 6 hours work. I've been in that boat too. By the way, noticed you hadn't voted on any games yet, while it may be too late for this LD, next time make sure and vote on other people's games, you'll show up in the listings more often and people will be able to see your game and vote on it.
