| Aug 1 09:05:26 | Spacy adventure | ♥ 2 | Wow, this is a great game! The graphics are nice and simple and the gameplay is very easy to learn. Overall polish is clean, lovin the particles. My only pet peeve is that it is sometimes difficult to see bullets or ships at time since there is a lot of noise and movement on the screen, such as the stars in the background. Other than that, the game was very enjoyable to play. | |
| Aug 1 09:29:57 | 24m 31s | Escape the Earth before its too late | ♥ 1 | For your first LD, that is pretty damn good. There are a few problems though, first off the collision is a little bit awkward. Sometimes i would get stuck when it looked like i shouldn't have. Secondly, a little bit more polish could've been added to the game. Here is a talk about adding "juice" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg Another important thing to keep in mind is to always think from the players perspective. When you play-test your game, you know everything in the game. To a new player, he/she needs to learn everything. In this case, it was kind of difficult for me to understand how the game works from the beginning. I needed to try it out a few times before i got the gist of it. Overall, this game marks a great learning step in your programming career. Learn from it, get feedback and make more games. Good Luck! 😃 |
| Aug 1 12:58:28 | 3h 28m | Temple of Illumination | ♥ 2 | This is a beautiful piece of work. It looks great and the controls are very snappy. Though, there are a few things that could be touched up. Firstly, the wall jump could be more reliable (the controls were a little awkward). Secondly, the hitbox of the spikes was a little unforgiving, especially when it is on top of a block and try to jump over it. I got stuck at the spikey level. All in all, great work and good luck! 😃 |
| Aug 4 08:27:53 | 67h 29m | Lights Out | ♥ 0 | Awesome game! A very clear example of the theme. Art is simple and clean, though it could have been improved if all art was created consistently. Instead of combining two different styles of art, try to be consistent with one style. All in all, this is a great game for your first time. This is a great step up for your learning curve, understand what went wrong and improve on it. Anyways, congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 4 08:43:16 | 15m 23s | TrappedWithAI9000 | ♥ 1 | A great and simple game! Lovin how you can come up with a small scope and create it in two days, TWO DAYS. It still blows my mind that people around the world can do this. Awesome Work! Though there are a few things that this game can be worked on. First of all the SFX, it gets a little repetitive, especially when the sounds are played in rapid succession. Try randomizing the pitch when you play the sound, it makes the sound slightly different and it reduces repetitiveness. Another thing that you can work on is the polish and feel of the game. Things such as adding a muzzle flash when you shoot, or when the "spikey shell" roams arond, it leaves a little dust particle. Small things that don't add to the gameplay but makes the game feel that much better. Here's a video on that topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg All in all, great work man. Hope this marks a great step in your game making career. Congrats! 😃 |
| Aug 4 09:51:16 | 1h 08m | Energy Drones | ♥ 1 | Amazing work for your first Ludum Dare! At the beginning, i was a little confused and dies a lot but i took me a couple of tries before i could beat the game. The art and sound is great and the gameplay is simple. Very well scoped. Though a few things that i personally would have added. That extra amount of polish. Maybe you can add a smoke trail particle for the jets, it'll help with some extra amount of movement. Or instead of the enemies disappearing when they die, they could explode into lots of pieces. This is help with the feel of permanence. Though these things do not change the gameplay of the game. It changes how it feels, to play the game. Here's video about this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg All in all, this is a great game. Especially for your first time participating in the Ludum Dare. Mark this is a great learning step onto your game making career. Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 5 08:23:06 | 22h 31m | Final Flight | ♥ 1 | Well Done. Like you said, it is not completely done, but you can tell that a lot of work has gone into the making of it. I am not a very imaginative person, and this game requires quite a bit of it. I am more of the 'actiony' type of person. In my opinion, the gameplay is quite slow, but this is only my opinion. So in the gameplay aspect, nothing needs to be changed. As for the voice overs, i found it a little difficult to understand what the tutorial voice was saying but i eventually got the gist of it. Other than that, it really added personality to the game. Great work and congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 5 09:05:31 | 42m 25s | Floppyboy | ♥ 1 | Heck of a job guys. Great Work! First off, i reckon the best thing about this game is the music. So much variety and they fit into the scenery really well. The art is awesome, especially with the immense amount of detail, like the sticky tape on the poster. Gameplay wise, maybe the movement could have been a little quicker or 'snappier' because the main part of the gameplay is the dialog system. So moving a little quicker helps with the flow of the game. Once again Great work guys and congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 5 10:43:07 | 1h 37m | Power Tycoon | ♥ 0 | The game is great! You have the concept locked and loaded. Though it would have been much more immersive if it had a little bit of sounds. Even if it is a simple click sound when you press the button. Though what i did struggle with was trying to start the game. There was no real tutorial so i found it a little difficult to get progress. I eventually got it and won. I found that the gameplay was a little repetitive, placing the same buildings over and over again. The research building definitely help to break up this repetitiveness. Other than that, it was a great game. Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 5 11:00:40 | 17m 33s | Engines & Earl Grey | ♥ 1 | Awesome Game! I love it when someone gets a simple idea and completes it in a game jam. I still cant believe this was made in two days, TWO DAYS. Very well scoped, well done. The audio is great music is very catchy and the sound effects are quick and responsive. Lovin the art style, it is very cute! I've always loved this type of art, half of the reason why i partnered up with my friend. And i can see and appreciate the detail put into this game. The animation when the objects hit the ground, clouds that float by and the camera shake. Of course, this doesn't affect the gameplay but adding it in made the game feel so much better. Well done and Congratulations! 😃 (sorry for the long reply) |
| Aug 5 11:38:40 | 38m 00s | Power Defense | ♥ 0 | Great Game! Reminds me very much of Super Crate Box. Was that the inspiration? The squish and squash animations are great, maybe the landing one takes a tiny bit too long. The tower tower defense-esk mechanic really adds another level to the game. Through a pet peeve of mine is the fact that i die in one touch. For me, when i make some amount of progress, it is really dissatisfying to just die. Also, maybe start off the game with a lower difficulty. At the beginning, i really had a difficult time figuring out the game mechanics. All in all, good work and Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 5 12:09:38 | 30m 58s | Not Enough Cat Lives | ♥ 0 | This game is great in its own right but there are a few problems with it. The game does not have that satisfaction when playing. For example, the mice just disappear (you could add in some sort death animation) or that the movement is too slow. It is never fun when you make progress in the game to end up back at the beginning and having to traverse all the way back to where you ended off. Other than that, it is a good game. Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 5 13:26:20 | 1h 16m | AtomoS | ♥ 1 | Lovin the Game! First off, is is very simple. "Atom" follows the mouse, try to collect power, dodge flying enemies. Its the perfect idea for a ludum dare game. The gameplay is smooth and everything works really well. Though i do wish that you guys were able to polish off the game. Adding things like some sort of particle when picking up energy, maybe an animation when you use a power or a cool death animation. Nothing that changes the gameplay but things that adds to the game and makes it feel better. If your not sure about this topic. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg All in all, this is a great game, especially for your first time. Great job! Congratulations guys, hope you guys do well. 😃 |
| Aug 8 09:18:12 | 67h 51m | Power Rod | ♥ 1 | Awesome little game! I was able to get 240. This game has all the necessities with all the sound, art and gameplay. The gameplay is absolutely fine, but there are a few things you could've added to make it look better. Not talking about the art, that's fine. But maybe some extra particles or 'scenery'. Maybe some clouds going through the background or an island? All in all, great game and congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 8 09:34:09 | 15m 57s | Cryozia | ♥ 3 | This game is pretty good! At the start, i had no strategy. i flew as fast as i could to try and collect everything. That did not work. I figured it out in the end. The game does need that 'learning curve', maybe have some sort of level system where each level gets progressively harder. But this will only solve the problem i had. In general, maybe you should add some polish to it. Things such as some sort of jet particles for the shuttle or particles when you collect the crystals. These things don't change the gameplay of the game but instead makes it feel better. Here is a video about this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg All in all, this is a great little game! Great work and Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 8 09:43:09 | 9m 00s | Proto472 | ♥ 1 | This is a great game! Love the graphics and gameplay. Though i feel as if your missing some particles to make the game feel better. It'll really help polish off the game. Polish doesn't change the gameplay, instead it makes the game feel better. Here is a video about the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg All in all, this is a good little game! Great Job and Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 8 09:56:23 | 13m 14s | Don't Click On Tiny Dudes! | ♥ 0 | Damn, this game took me breathless!😉 Anyways, this is a great game. It really did take me by surprise. Well done! Though, the game could have been polished a lot more. Adding the extra particles here and there or maybe a screen flash. Other than that, Great Game and Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 8 10:24:46 | 28m 23s | Tax Rebel | ♥ 2 | The concept is definitely there. The game works really well. But there could be a lot of polish added to it. Maybe some extra particles when you stole power or a trail that you leave behind. Whatever it is, don't add things that change the gameplay, instead add things that makes the game feel better. Here is a video more about this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg All in all, Great Work and Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 8 10:34:15 | 9m 29s | Power Earth Saver | ♥ 1 | Awesome game man! Had a lot of fun. Loving that bullet hell aspect of the game. Though i did find it a little difficult to see some of the bullets against the travelling stars. Maybe if the stars were a little fainter or there were just less of them. All in all, this is a great game. Good Job and Congratulations! 😃 |
| Aug 8 10:43:24 | 9m 09s | Energy Dash | ♥ 1 | This game is awesome! Is has everything i would have wanted in a game. The gameplay is great and art is sleek and the sounds are crisp. The polish is also done very well in the game. Though as a new player, the only i would say is that it starts off too quickly and it is a little difficult to catch on. Maybe a more effective tutorial, something other than just text. All in all, Great work and Congratulations! 😃 |
