| Aug 1 22:03:03 | Climate Clicker | ♥ 4 | That's really well developed game with a lot of mechanics and well designed. There is a lot to do and a lot to pay attention to but interface is really easy to read, changelog in bottom left helps especially in early stage of game. Art style i really cute, reminds me of Prison Architect / RimWorld. Gameplay has this multitasking vibe and difficulty increases as you progress. Really well done game. | |
| Aug 1 22:19:16 | 16m 13s | Fade | ♥ 2 | A story well told, kind reminds me of The Walking Dead season 1 (game) mixed with 'Richard & Alice'. Gameplay is challenging and im glad that there are checkpoints and shifts speeds game up. It's impressive that you have done all assets and mechanics in such a short game, congratz! |
| Aug 1 23:11:01 | 51m 45s | Lightbulb | ♥ 0 | Ha, charming game. Reminds me of "Watch paint dry", in that game you also have plenty of ways to kill time while you are just waiting / watching. Pretty well done lightbulb physics, it was actually entertaining to swing it around. |
| Aug 2 17:29:41 | 18h 18m | Game of Life | ♥ 2 | Whoaw this is a really complex game but surprisingly easy to get grasp on. There are a lot of buttons / actions but are neatly organized in categories and are intuitive (like if you smoke to get your happiness up then you know that your health will go down). Audio is pretty nice and gives the whole game this silly / fun atmosphere. Gameplay is pretty engaging and you constantly thinks about your next move although game might get too repetitive after two playthroughs. Graphics are the weakest side of the game but they are really not that important in that kind of game. Pretty interesting game in overall. |
| Aug 2 17:45:48 | 16m 07s | Nuclear Night | ♥ 1 | Pretty humorous game! I like one liners that our 'hero' says after doing something 'New keycard for Chris... Chris needs a new keycard'. Graphics and audio go well together and create this goofy, silly mood. Gameplay is pretty neat and player feels the time pressure although when you die you have to start from the beggining, some checkpoints would be nice. Collision detection could use some polishing, sometimes it's hard to get through doors. Pretty fun game with a charming mood, good job! |
| Aug 2 18:10:52 | 25m 04s | Escape from Solar Sea Fortress | ♥ 1 | That's a really ambitious game for Ludum Dare and you participated in Compo which is even more impressive. Art style and audio are pretty great, together they set a nice mood and there is this feeling of mystery to it. Gameplay is neat and engaging, simple puzzles that you go through are not really a challange but i think that is not the main focus of the game at the moment. Impressive game in overall. |
| Aug 2 18:26:58 | 16m 06s | Abandon Ship | ♥ 2 | Incredible game, it feels so polished! Really guys, you did great job it feels like demo for 'Steam game', it actually reminds me of Zombie Night Terror. I hope you are going to continue working on this project. Graphics are really well done (smooooth animations) and mood is also pretty great, minimalistic audio sets a right tone. Gameplay is pretty interesting and i see a lot of potential with more ways to use ship equipment to deal with scavangers. Really well done! |
| Aug 2 18:50:02 | 23m 04s | Mr Mayor's Energy Crisis | ♥ 2 | Engaging resource management game. I like how you get idea what's going on thanks to the newspaper and that is also a great way to create some immersion. You put a lot of effort to write whole articles which is quite impressive. Graphics are simple and minimalistic but are consistent and also make game feel more lighthearted. Decent game in general. One more thing, when i downloaded windows version i got error 'Unable To Load Mono' maybe it's because of build version. Luckily there is web version of the game. PS: i enjoyed clicking on the ducks |
| Aug 2 19:00:46 | 10m 44s | Run, Joseph, run | ♥ 2 | Cute game with nice graphics and music. Gameplay is pretty simplistic but the pressure of time makes it more engaging and you really have to hurry up to win this game. Neat idea with phone running out of energy, pretty realistic issue for our times :P My only complaint is that showing and hiding mobile is not done by the same button, it kind not intuitive to have to press escape to hide phone instead of just pressing spacebar again, but that's a minor complaint and it doesn't really affect gameplay. In overall pretty sweet short game. |
| Aug 2 19:14:17 | 13m 31s | Buzzy Bee | ♥ 1 | Simplistic game for a quick play. Timing when flowers are fully bloomed instead just clicking on them as they appear gives additional depth to the gameplay. Game is pretty short but interesting and graphics feel really lighthearted. My best score is 83% |
| Aug 2 19:33:25 | 19m 08s | MotherBoard | ♥ 1 | Really funny game, and music is so dramatic! We can't let battery die, charger is whole 10 feet away! Really clever main menu scene that takes you straight inside the phone. Graphics are pretty good and it is interesting to fight inside the phone and see phone screen above. Gameplay is pretty neat, it's fun to ctr+alt+del your enemies. In overall really cool game. |
| Aug 2 19:46:04 | 12m 39s | Low battery | ♥ 1 | It's nice to finally let do all the shooting some else and watch your enemies bite dust. Managing power is pretty entertaining and batteries give a lot of new options, in last wave managing shield batteries is key to the victory. With that being said, difficulty could be a little cranked up most waves are pretty easy to beat. This game, for some reason, reminds me of Starship Troopers, probably because you are constantly attacked by overwhelming forces. Pretty decent game in general. |
| Aug 2 19:59:09 | 13m 05s | The World's Worst Segway | ♥ 1 | I like sound effects, especially angry 'beep beep'. Gameplay is pretty neat and requires some planning and reflexes to get a good score. In overall game is pretty neat and entertaining to play. |
| Aug 2 20:15:37 | 16m 28s | Star Power | ♥ 1 | This is really innovative idea, you use your cards to stir the ship and movement is in real time. That is brilliant and i would love to see this game mechanic expanded. Graphics are decent and audio is also pretty good. Gameplay is pretty engaging and it requires a lot predicting how spaceship will fly, dodging asteroids is pretty challenging and fun. In overall really neat game. |
| Aug 2 20:26:33 | 10m 56s | Last Sunset | ♥ 2 | Engaging and challenging bullet hell kind of game. Gameplay is pretty fun and i like that you have to switch between your 'powers' to maximize damage output, it give a new level of depth to the mechanics. Art style is minimalistic but elegant and all enemies are well designed. I also like the backstory, it creates a neat immersion. In overall it is a pretty cool game and fun to play. |
| Aug 2 20:35:35 | 9m 02s | More Energy! | ♥ 1 | Neat mix between 'investment' kind of game and decision making process in your office like in game 'Reigns'. It is fun to expand slowly across the whole map and build your energy empire. Graphics are simple but consistent in art style and easy to read. In overall pretty interesting game with fun gameplay. |
| Aug 2 20:48:22 | 12m 47s | AI Overlord Runaway | ♥ 2 | That is a really cool mix between bullet hell game and powers like reverse time, ghost etc. It is pretty cool how every power has energy meter which is also a nice balancing mechanic and forces player to use different skills. Gameplay is really engaging and challenging. Graphics are decent and easy to read, you can clearly see all bullets, they don't disappear on the background. Music is neat and gives a nice mood. Pretty fun game in general. |
| Aug 2 20:58:11 | 9m 49s | Assault//Battery | ♥ 1 | Controlling drunk mech-boxer is really satisfying, it is just a ton of fun to go on smashing rampage and see everything around get launched in the air. I will make sure to read your post about physics, it will sure be handy in the future. Graphics are minimalistic but really clear and just match the games tone. In overall really good game and is entertaining to play. |
| Aug 2 21:16:50 | 18m 39s | Runnerbot LD39Entry | ♥ 1 | Addictive gameplay i just wanted to get a as far as possbile. I really like how many kinds of enemies are there, especially i like Archanibot (really creepy, when you step on wires he is charging at you really fast). Graphics are neat retro style and are easy to read. Gameplay is really fun but way to easy in my oppinion. I would suggest that generating level is less generous with power tiles and items as you progress (the higher your score is). I think i found myself in situation where i just got more and more stuff. rubberBot.jpg Other than that game is really great and fun to play, are you going to expand this project? BTW: really impressive game for your first LD and first game published ever, congratulations |
| Aug 2 21:33:14 | 16m 24s | Defend Home: Mars | ♥ 1 | Ah, a good old shooter. Graphics are pretty good and set right climate to the game. Gameplay is neat but gets repetitive after while and is kinda too easy, the only risk is that you will run out of ammunition. But it was still satisfying to keep putting down those gigantic ants. It would be cool if you could jump in low gravity, maybe not necessary mechanic but would add to the 'coolness' aspect :) I also like Metal Gear Solid like messages, that creates some nice immersion. In overall pretty cool game. |
| Aug 2 21:52:02 | 18m 48s | Lightrunner | ♥ 1 | Beautiful graphics in retro art style and audio matches this climat. Gameplay is pretty challenging but rewarding when you get to next checkpoint. Platforming feels a little bit clunky though, maybe it is just too fast. With that being said i am not a good platformer so my feedback my be a bit off in this aspect. Anyway game is really impressive and you managed to make this in compo and using monogame (which has a little bit slower workflow than unity or gamemaker, at least in my experience). Good job, game well done. |
| Aug 2 22:05:34 | 13m 32s | Light Switch Crusader | ♥ 2 | That's a funny idea of being 'hero' who creeps inside other people's houses and turn off their light. Gameplay is pretty neat, you really have to watch out for those cats. Graphics are pleasant and animations are well done. Our protagonist also has neat one liners, it's just hard to not to be on his side. In overall pretty neat game. |
| Aug 2 22:14:55 | 9m 21s | Five swords to Hell | ♥ 0 | That's a really good looking game with cool atmosphere. Concept is also interesting and well executed. Swearing seems kind out of the place, i mean i don't have anything against swearing in general but here it just doesn't feel right or maybe there is just too much of it. Anyway gameplay is pretty neat and at first player is pretty much forced to lose but that's a learning process and next time you get what are the rules of gameplay. Pretty cool game. |
| Aug 3 17:30:56 | 19h 16m | The King's Saviour | ♥ 0 | Pretty cool, short game. I like how you mixed pixel art with 2.5d levels, it worked out pretty well, animations are also pleasing to the eye. Platfroming and shooting enemies is challenging and entertaining, checkpoints sure are useful. Shooting requires using both mouse buttons which is unusual for most players but you can quickly get used to it. In overall pretty cool game. |
| Aug 3 18:17:41 | 46m 45s | Power - a puzzle game | ♥ 1 | I really like puzzle games and this is is pretty good. Levels are well designed and difficulty curve is just right. Some of the last levels are really challenging and rewarding when you beat them. Music is fine but is way to fast / gets too much 'in the face', i personally prefer more ambient, calm kind of music for puzzle games. But other than that game is pretty solid with fun gameplay. |
| Aug 3 20:20:53 | 2h 03m | Signal Lost | ♥ 0 | Really innovative idea and great execution, it is satisfying to control drone and see it flying in the horizon. Graphics are atmospheric and are consistent, the 'drone screen' has some cool visual effects (also option to move around your 'main view' with mouse is a nice touch, totally worth the time... really). It is a challenge to complete this game but there is a lot potential for replayability. Oh and cool sound effects (electric toothbrush did the work :D). In overall it is a pretty cool game. BTW: it was entertaining to watch stream |
| Aug 4 17:36:11 | 21h 15m | Evelyn | ♥ 1 | Amazing game with innovative gameplay. I'm really fascinated with 'floating islands' worlds (hence i also made my game in this world : D) and i like how you managed to translate this world to platformer mechanics with teleportation. There are some bugs (funky collisions etc) but that's understandable due to the time limitation. Graphics are really pretty and animations are smooth. In overall really cool game and there is a lot potential for expanding this project, can't wait for updates. |
| Aug 4 19:38:47 | 2h 02m | Thermal Power Plant K-13 | ♥ 1 | Incredibly good looking game, pixel art style is just beautiful. Audio also is in on point, sets great atmosphere. Gameplay kinda reminds me of Oregon Trail (at least traveling and random encounters). I like how you can slowly expand your village and you have more vehicles to scavenge nearby places. Although there could be some kind of small tutorial in game, just to get player on right tracks what to do. In overall really cool game with amazing graphics. |
| Aug 4 20:08:31 | 29m 44s | Cyberhell Cleaner | ♥ 2 | Oh yeah, i love Killing Floor and i love this game as well. Nothing like slaughtering waves of monsters to earn money and then spend it in shop so you can kill EVEN MORE MONSTERS. Graphics are really great and i like the backstory, power armored crusader in hell just sounds so cool. Gameplay is fun but kinda repetitive and AI often get stuck. But still it's pretty entertaining to use different weapons to put enemies down. Oh and great choice of music. Really fun game, good job! |
| Aug 4 20:31:11 | 22m 40s | DraBot | ♥ 3 | This game is really polished, you even made time to make main menu that is really good loking (different backgrounds for different options / levels). Graphics are pretty and set lighthearted atmosphere to the game. Concept is pretty humorous, vampire that drains power from other hunting him bots. Gameplay is challenging and entertaining but can get repetitive. BTW im not sure if i understood correctly but you are supposed to press D if enemy is on your right side and vice versa match pressed buttons with direction that you want to damage, or it doesn't matter and you damage everything around you equally? In general pretty fun game that has this fully developed game kind of feeling, nicely done guys. |
| Aug 4 20:35:52 | 4m 41s | Die To Survive | ♥ 2 | Impressive for 12 hours time of development. Concept on constantly dying is interesting, with every death you get more knowledge about map layout so next time you can navigate faster. Neat graphics, in overall pretty nice game. |
| Aug 5 10:06:01 | 13h 30m | Our Stories | ♥ 0 | Sweet game with decent writing and interesting text-adventure mechanics. It's impressive how many branches to the story are there and how different can they be. I liked the graphics, pretty stylish and pleasing to eye. In overall pretty neat game. |
| Aug 5 10:17:11 | 11m 10s | Gastric Hell | ♥ 0 | Humorous game with good atmosphere. I like how player really has to explore as fast as possible but also watch out for teeth-monsters, lantern mechanic add a lot to mood. Graphics are good looking and easy to read, audio fits the overall tone. Cool game with nice concept. |
| Aug 5 10:42:09 | 24m 58s | Blocks For The Block Lord! | ♥ 0 | Whoaw, this game is a cool mix between shooter, tower defense and Tetris. And all of that works pretty great together. Graphics are also pretty great, crusaders look very cute. Also the variety of the enemies is impressive, they attack from every angle possible. It is really cool game with innovative mechanics and more people need to play this! You should rate some games so your game won't be overlooked, that would be really a shame. |
| Aug 5 11:08:29 | 26m 20s | Bolt World | ♥ 2 | Ha, this game is quite addictive. It is really cool to grow so fast and just look for new prey. Spacebar adds this 'leap of faith' kind of feeling when you are almost out of power and need to fight something right now or just die. Graphics are simplistic but it's neat how background image gets smaller and smaller as you get bigger. In overall pretty simplistic game but can give a lot of entertainment to the player. Well done! BTW: sorry for spamming your highscore board (Zeriver and Zeriver2), i had problem with saving my score after i already submitted one. Not sure if i did something wrong or is it a bug. |
| Aug 5 14:28:50 | 3h 20m | *Tech Support | ♥ 0 | Interesting puzzle game with a lot of levels. I like how first level teach player new mechanics and later you just solve puzzles. Puzzles were mostly fun but sometimes i could see solution right away and then i had to for next 2 minutes just execute my plan and hope that i won't 'missclick' and have to repeat whole process again. I think that reverse last turn could be useful and wouldn't really impact gameplay negatively. Graphics are pretty and background music sets a nice to the game. Neat puzzle game in overall. |
| Aug 5 14:47:32 | 18m 42s | Lucido | ♥ 1 | Pretty well developed platformer, reminds me kind of of Super Meat Boi. I like how player is forced to act quickly, as at the beginning you have way more vision, yet even if you 'ran out of power' you can still complete the level. Platforming was fun though it required some getting used to time at the beginning. One thing though, it seems that when you hit top border of the screen you lose, not sure it that was intentional. Graphics are neat and background music fits them. In overall pretty solid platformer. |
| Aug 22 13:07:24 | 406h 19m | Battery Defence | ♥ 0 | Cool take on tower defense genre. Innovative gameplay mechanics that keep player occupied all time. It's a good thing that you made time to make tutorial, it's short and explains game pretty well. There were some problems with click detection this could use some polishing and maybe displaying on minimap when turret runs out od battery would improve player experience. Art style is minimalistic but pretty and gives game a nice, lighthearted feel. Cool game, hope you get to 20 rating threshold/ |
