Aug 3 18:57:34 Defend Home: Mars ♥ 1 Greetings ! Pretty cool game, it's 3D, which is pretty rare. Overall, the game works pretty well, controls are simple (tho it was kind of hard for me since I don't have a QWERTY keyboard). If I could suggest something.. hitmarkers ! The game could use more responsiveness when firing at enemies, letting you know you hit them. Otherwise, the concept is pretty simple, nothing to say about it :) Feel free to check our game out ! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt
Aug 3 19:03:23 5m 49s Crownless ♥ 0 Hey ! Pretty cool game. Very original graphics ! The animations were pretty neat aswell. However, I did suffer a lot of framedrops at times, but that might be my PC. I'd say the gameplay could be hugely improved by allowing you to jump at anytime after starting an attack, handy if there is an archer right after a melee guy.

Aug 3 19:10:00 6m 37s Wreckage ♥ 0 Hey ! Game looks and sounds pretty cool, but I had a very hard time playing it as most objects appeared very dark, which is not easy to see in space. Still, the concept is great, and sticks with the theme really nicely. I'd say fix the visual (although it might be on my end), and maybe tune down the energy loss for colliding with things a notch. Good entry otherwise :) Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt
Aug 3 19:18:12 8m 12s A Robot's Final Stand ♥ 1 Hey ! Cool game overall. The concept is, I think, very damn original. Could be expanded upon a lot, which is why I think you should consider continuing the work on it and try to sell it maybe. Expand on the graphical and audio aspect, as it's where the game is lacking the most (but it's pretty good for a LD game !), balance the systems better (I could basically survive forever with shield + magnet systems on), and finally get some progression in (module upgrades / modifications, more enemies...) and you got yourself a very nice, yet simple game with quite a lot of replayability.

Aug 3 19:32:33 14m 21s Keep your sanity ♥ 3 Hey there ! Neat game. I like the concept of losing your sanity, it really does add to the "horror" side of the game. I was pretty spooked in my dark bedroom. I know there's little point to suggesting changes, I can't know if you'll keep working on it, but what the hell ! The idea behind the game is cool, and the execution of that idea could be vastly improved upon ! - Randomly generate the layout for extra replayability. - Add some random events like jumpscares to knock the player off-balance. - Balance the combat a bit more or lower the spawn rate so that you don't get overwhelmed early on. - Add a reward for killing enemies, like extra sanity : right now the best seems to be to avoid them and run for the next door. There you go mate. Great work indeed !
Aug 3 19:38:16 5m 43s Superbman ♥ 0 Hello ! All I can say is this : neat concept ! It reminds me of super meat boy quite a lot, yet it is very different, so good job on that front. The graphical style is pretty nice too. All I can say about it is that the red spots on which you die stand to be improved (maybe replace them with spikes ?) Audio is the only thing I think this game does lack, but what the hell, it's LD. No time to mess around with everything at once. Definitly look into it if you wish to keep working on it, tho ! Overall, a good entry :) Good job ! Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt We could also use the criticism !
Aug 3 19:55:53 17m 37s Power Runners ♥ 1 Hey ! I like the concept a lot. Brings a certain rythm to it all. I couldn't really find any bug, and controls worked alright. Here are a few suggestions : - Tune down the demon spawn rate a bit but increase their health, that way the game isn't easier, and you have more time to go pick the items up if your generator is not going to get back on anytime soon. - Make the light from the flashlight clearer. Sometimes I wondered how I was damaging an enemy. - Randomly generated levels ? Overall, a good entry :) The idea behind the game is quite original, too !

Aug 3 20:00:48 4m 55s < Mr. Plug > ♥ 1 Hey ! All I have to say is that the lack of audio is very unfortunate, but I'm sure it could be easily fixed. I think some... electrical music would do ! (see what I did here ?) Otherwise, I like the concept. I did have some trouble controlling the character, as the game had a pretty low frame rate on my end and wasn't smooth, but that might just be my computer. Overall, this is a pretty good entry :) Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt
Aug 3 20:17:10 16m 22s Electronic Supremacy ♥ 1 Hey ! Very cool entry, I love management games :) Although I could really have used a tutorial of some kind, I got the hang of it quite quickly. I'll start with the cons, and then the pros :) - Game isn't smooth, which is quite a big problem when you need to do so much optimisation in your building order. - Robots should arrive right away, and we should start with basic defenses (maybe the core itself ?), so that we know what to expect. On my first game I was really wondering how many defenses I needed to build to survive. I didn't build enough :( - The "cannot build it here" message is useful, yet not precise : there should be a text message appearing stating what was wrong. ("No power connector", "No mineral"...) Now for the pros :) - The concept is pretty neat, mixing puzzle and management game is something I have never seen before. - There is a feeling of exponential growth at the beginning of a level : you set up your first power plants and reserves, and it just goes quicklier and quicklier. Feels great ! - You managed to make an entire management game with a lot of wondering what to do next, with only 5 buildings. Well done ! I hope you'll keep working on it. Better graphics, audio, and smoother framerate would bring that game into something you could sell ! Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt
Aug 3 20:22:57 5m 47s Imperium ♥ 1 Hey ! Very good entry overall ! Graphics are neat, audio is pretty good (I like the voice acting :D) and it all feels quite responsive. The big downside of this game, I believe, are the controls : maybe using the mouse would have been better ? I couldn't really say honestly. Also, it seems like stabbing is better than slashing, because of the extra range. Otherwise, I liked it quite a lot. I wonder, the names you can see on the list... are all these names created by players ? Or is it all pre-made with yours then being added to the list ? Cheers for the good work ! ;) Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt We could use some criticism !
Aug 3 20:33:27 10m 30s Charged Up ♥ 0 Hello ! Cool game :) At first it might seem like a classic "protect it" kind of game but the extra "charging the core" mechanic makes it quite original indeed. The idea itself is very good and I have nothing to say about it, but I have a few suggestions about the executions, should you want to keep working on it ;) - Work on audio. Audio might seem unimportant because it's just for the ears, but audio is very important for a game's responsiveness and general feel. Enemies should make a noise when spawning, taking damage, attacking... I know you had limited time for the LD, which is why I'd say the sounds are pretty cool for a LD entry ;) - I had a low framerate (about 20 - 30 I'd say), which made the game feel unsmooth. Not so bad here because it's not very fast paced, but it could use some looking into. Overall, a very good submission, I liked it a lot. It fits the theme greatly. Good job ! Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt We could use the criticism too ! :D
Aug 3 20:47:59 14m 32s Running from Power ♥ 1 Hey ! Nice pun.. :D The game itself is alright, controls are very responsive and it's quite smooth overall. Graphical style is nice. I had some trouble confusing the guard, jumping over holes didn't really do anything to him, just slowed me down. I guess there's something I didn't quite understand :( I suggest you add powerups, then you'll have the perfect espace style game experience ;) Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt We could use the criticism too :D
Aug 3 20:54:32 6m 33s Robots from 1991 ♥ 1 Hey ! Great entry ! I really love the doom-like graphics and gameplay, and also the fact I didn't have to download anything :p It's just too bad it doesn't really fit the theme, but I guess some people weren't inspired by it. It's all good either way, the gameplay is quite enjoyable. I also like exploration being rewarded with extra health and ammo :) Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt We could use some criticism too :D
Aug 3 20:58:51 4m 19s My Dream ♥ 1 Hey ! Your game might be simple but it managed to mess my brain up just fine ! ;) Interesting story. It's quite hard to decipher what's really happening. Like you're trying to picture it in your head but then it doesn't add up with the next sentence you get. Overall very interesting idea ! Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt
Aug 3 21:03:32 4m 41s Spacy adventure ♥ 2 Hey ! Good entry ! Everything is good, all I can say is that the controls of the ship don't feel very responsive, but then it might be a game design decision (to make dodging more difficult ?), can't really know. Brings me back to when I played tons of flash games on my computer, I'd find tons of "space shooters" like this one. This one does stand out tho, with the shop system. Great job ! :) Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt We need some criticism !
Aug 8 21:37:13 120h 33m Invaders From The Next Planet Over! ♥ 1 Hey ! The concept is really simple, yet it requires good multitasking. Well done ! If I may suggest, don't play the "alert" sound on loop, but rather only once every 30 seconds. If you absolutly want a constant cue so the player knows his energy is low, make it a visual cue so you can ignore it. Otherwise, nice game overall. As was said above, it does get repetitive quite fast, especially seeing how forgiving the game is of spam. It's very easy to just missile barrage the whole screen and hit all enemies and collect all the bounties at the same time. Maybe the power absorbed by each shot should increase with a "heat" value ? Not sure. Great entry :) Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt We need some criticism too !
Aug 8 21:45:16 8m 03s Player in the Dark ♥ 1 Greetings ! Very nice little platformer, I didn't expect much when I read life was calling during the jam :D But I was surprised ! The only thing I have to say, appart from "well done", is that the game is waaaaaay too difficult and more precisely, too unforgiving of mistakes. It gets very close to a "die and retry" kind of game, except you don't die because of the traps ahead of you, but rather because you checked if there were any with your suicide flashlight ;) Otherwise the controls are fine, maybe increase the jump height a bit ? Some jumps were hard to make, the first one for example. Good entry ! Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt We need the criticism too !
Aug 8 21:51:44 6m 28s Tax Rebel ♥ 1 Hey ! That was very fun. The concept is quite original, and even though simple, very fun to play with. I especially liked when I had to figure out if the best was to run for it or be patient.. :p Well done !
