| Dec 5 14:39:33 | Snakey Snake | ♥ 0 | Hey frozencow, nice and sweet concept, which really fits the theme! :) I think it would be much more immersive if the snake's body was properly drawn. I liked the camera transitions, and, as always, I really missed sound effects! The levels themselves didn't feel very hard, maybe some more challenging ones would have been nice. Oh, and are you aware of the game "Snakebird"? | |
| Dec 5 14:53:33 | 14m 00s | Rattendorf | ♥ 4 | Lovely art and lovely music, this is really high-quality stuff! <3 I especially liked the moment of the first attack! Controls and interaction feel snappy - the gameplay doesn't seem too original, though. Some bugs: The three rightmost function buildings have the same description. The popups don't appear when the game is paused. The game crashed during the second wave, but that could just be me using Wine on Linux... |
| Dec 5 15:05:44 | 12m 11s | The More You Make | ♥ 0 | Nice take on the theme! The pixel graphics work really well, care to tell us which engine you used? Sounds are fitting. The individual games didn't manage to capture my attention for very long, though. Maybe I would have liked less, but more interesting games :) Waste of time: "Current number: Undef" - is that a bug? I also don't have a virtuaman, the title says undefined, and the landscape is empty. |
| Dec 5 15:12:16 | 6m 32s | Birds Birds Birds | ♥ 1 | Surprisingly hard, I tried a lot of times, and I didn't manage to balance the car for longer 30 seconds or so. Very pretty graphics style. It's also a hilarious concept, I wonder how the person ended up in that situation...? Maybe some story would have added to the humor! :) |
| Dec 5 20:32:53 | 5h 20m | Cute Cats Daily | ♥ 1 | I was scared the cats in the boxes would die, so I always opened them very quickly. Might have been a strategic mistake! :P I love the graphics and the animations, the introduction, and the general game mechanics. My cats would always crowd around my the feeding bowls, so their state is hard to see. Music gets repetitive after a while. The shops were inconvenient to reach. |
| Dec 5 20:44:48 | 11m 55s | The lost strawberry | ♥ 1 | Good job! Looks very polished and integrated, and I enjoyed the combination of graphics and sounds. While the small color palette is interesting, it makes it hard to recognize game elements, and that unfortunate. Also, I wasn't able to discover how to play the game without looking at the documentation, which is something I try to avoid in my games. |
| Dec 5 20:55:03 | 10m 15s | Shapes Are Mean | ♥ 1 | Neat, this is really well executed! :) Thanks for making this! Love the audio-visual integration of the whole thing! Also, the tutorial works perfectly, and is something I will steal ;) I found the movement of the beams a little fiddly - wish they moved slower or more fluidly. Also, the dark beam seemed kind of thin. |
| Dec 5 21:06:18 | 11m 15s | Pub Crawler | ♥ 1 | 177 seconds on the first try, with lots of bumping into walls and cars! :) This game has a nice attention to detail, and fits the theme very well, in my opinion! I liked the increasingly confusing graphical effects and controls! Pathfinding was sometimes a little frustrating, but maybe that's the point. Thanks for making this! :) |
| Dec 5 22:36:33 | 1h 30m | Sumo Slam 2D | ♥ 1 | I also made some glitchy-looking jumps, but that was part of the fun! :) Nice ground mechanic, haven't seen anything like that before. Overall, the game seems well-rounded and simple, good job! I would have enjoyed a short story introduction! |
| Dec 6 12:43:02 | 14h 06m | CTRL FRK | ♥ 1 | Wow, this is my favorite entry so far! Nice, abstract, minimalist graphics, and an interesting message! I found the later levels unnecessarily slow/frustrating (especially those with the swarms around the project). But especially the first half is perfect, and I will definitely show this game around! |
| Dec 6 12:57:18 | 14m 16s | Hyper diapers | ♥ 2 | Whoa! For me, this is a 5-star game in almost each category! I loved finding out what everything does. I also really loved the many different baby character images! :3 Graphics are really nice and fitting, and it perfectly covers the theme! Well done, I will show this around! Uh, babies can die because of the *Internet*? :D When a baby is in the oven, at first I thought something was wrong with the pan on top of it, and I lost a few times because of that. This needs a better audiovisual clue on what's going on |
| Dec 6 13:11:08 | 13m 50s | Slightly annoying traffic | ♥ 1 | I love the attention to detail in this game, like the destructible street lights, and that there's a massive crash incoming on game over :) Gameplay is simple, but satisfying. Thanks for making this! Seems weak on the sound side. Music gets a little annoying, in my opinion. |
| Dec 6 13:26:17 | 15m 09s | RE-SANTA | ♥ 0 | Whaaaa? Stitch-based pixel graphics! How awesome is that?! I absolutely love this! The transitions! The sound effects and music! The new-year lines! The smartphone oveerlay! The gameplay is the only thing which didn't really capture my interest, it gets repetitive quickly, and I didn't really feel the consequences of bad decisions. |
| Dec 6 16:06:07 | 2h 39m | City Mayhem | ♥ 1 | Hah, I love the mood set by the jumping, warped cars and the music! ;) The gameplay feels like a very reduced version of GTA-style games, and invokes some fun memories. And I agree, it gets challenging rather quickly. I *also* love the ending line! :P Honestly, can't think of much to improve - thanks for making this! \o/ Also, thanks for your detailed feedback on "Spring Clean - DO NOT CROSS"! <3 |
| Dec 6 16:22:36 | 16m 29s | Wormhead | ♥ 1 | Fun little game! I enjoyed finding out what the different pieces do! And the theme is implemented well - being a long space worm isn't easy! A longer music loop, sound effects, and maybe some kind of "compass" would have been nice. But for a compo entry, this is nice, I enjoyed it! =) |
| Dec 6 16:29:32 | 6m 56s | Snow Grow: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Ball | ♥ 0 | Hey, congratulations on your first Ludum Dare game! \o/ Good job on getting all the tools working, and on submitting a little game! :) I liked the ending, it surprised me! ;) Have you ever heard of [Tux Racer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_Racer)? You might enjoy it! It would be cool if you could hold down the direction keys to control the snowball, so you don't have to mash them a lot of times. The score doesn't seem properly aligned. The music loop is very short. |
| Dec 6 16:49:01 | 19m 29s | A Short Story | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the writing in this game. Art and music are beautifully done. The key mechanic gets a little repetitive, but that's a minor critique point. Seeing the main character transforming surprised me! This is the moodiest game I've played this Ludum Dare, thank you for making it! |
| Dec 6 16:56:52 | 7m 51s | Need more coffee | ♥ 2 | This is an interpretation of the theme we discarded during brainstorming, so it's fun to see an actual game made out of this! :) Really good job on the graphics and animations! Good progress gating at the first coffee shop! I didn't make it to coffee shop #3 in a few attempts. The music loop is annoyingly short. Movement felt very abrupt and not really satisfying. |
| Dec 17 19:44:24 | 266h 47m | Plastic | ♥ 0 | This is brilliantly executed, and looks very polished! I love the minimalist, abstract graphics, and the attention to detail, like the nodes being larger when they're not connected, or that connected nodes draw others with them. Gameplay is not really challenging, but satisfying. That the game only takes a few minutes to finish is perfect for this context, and I really like the ending! :) Too bad there's no sound. Thanks for making this game! |
| Dec 17 19:49:29 | 5m 05s | Piggle Puzzle | ♥ 0 | Nice little game! I found it hard to figure out *how* pigs reproduce, that is, where new piggles are placed. I liked the level names! ;-) Audio is fitting, graphics are simple but well-done. Instructions were helpful. I didn't really see the theme very reflected in this game. I would probably have liked a graphical representation of the remaining resources, and an auto-advance to the next level (or a more visible form of feedback when you completed a level). |
| Dec 17 19:53:50 | 4m 21s | Statues | ♥ 2 | Interesting. Neat storytelling mechanic, the graphics and the light effects are really well-done! Fitting audio, as well, creating a very dense atmosphere. I would like to play more like this! \o/ The story arc seemed obvious to me from the beginning, maybe I would have liked more mystery or story twists. :) |
| Dec 17 19:59:56 | 6m 06s | The Carrier | ♥ 0 | Amazing visuals and audio, well done! Interesting interpretation of the theme. I really liked the old-school feeling of this game. And you're right, this game is really hard to master, and seems very hard at first. It is, however, satisfying to notice how quickly you become better at it! At first, I didn't really know what the goal of the game was, maybe the instructions should be more clear here. |
| Dec 17 20:06:54 | 6m 58s | ARCADE OVERFLOW | ♥ 1 | Wow, this is one of my favorite games of this Ludum Dare! Really, really great idea. I enjoyed playing this so much, and will definitely show this around. The combination of making it step-based and timing-critical at the same time works very well. The graphics with flat, single-colored areas were probably the part I liked least. In my first playthrough, I had two "game overs" overall, which felt pretty good. Thank you for making this great game! \o/ |
| Dec 17 20:18:40 | 11m 46s | Stacks O' Cats | ♥ 0 | Cute! I liked playing with the cats and the laser pointer! I intentionally let the happiness run to 0%, and noticed that nothing seemed to happen (except for the cats getting red). But maybe it would have too sad otherwise. Gameplay didn't seem too interesting long-term - setting down all the food bowls in a row and filling it with the endless food seemed like a strategy which would work for a really long time. Maybe I would have liked it when new gameplay elements would have been introduced over time. |
| Dec 17 20:30:21 | 11m 41s | Eat, Love, Prey | ♥ 1 | Hey, neat little game! I liked how the big sheep spawn smaller ones - gameplay was simple to understand, and I found it entertaining to chase the sheep around. I also had to laugh about the menu buttons :P Barking didn't seem very useful to me, and being chased around by red rams seemed a little unfair, as I couldn't find a way to escape them. I also would have liked a way to refill the life energy. I didn't see the theme very reflected in this game. |
| Dec 17 20:39:02 | 8m 41s | Babies! Babies! Babies! | ♥ 2 | Woah, this game has a creepy atmosphere! My intuition was to *collect* all the babies, but I quickly realized that this was not what I was supposed to do :P I appreciate the attention you put into the camera control! Interesting visual style, which I've never seen before. Nice job! The game seemed rather hard. I noticed that if you waste some time early in the game, it becomes impossible to progress after a certain point because there's a massive WALL OF BABIES BABIES BABIES and you can't really jump from atop babies! :D |
| Dec 17 22:03:34 | 1h 24m | Tap me, darling | ♥ 0 | Huh, this game didn't really intrigue me, story-wise. It seemed irrelevant which things I tapped? Graphics were pretty, and I thought it had a great choice of sound effects! :) |
| Dec 17 22:13:54 | 10m 20s | Tic-Tac-Matrix | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the polish on the visuals and the audio in this game! Top notch-writing, and an innovative game mechanic, well done! I don't think I really *enjoyed* doing the calculations in my head, and sometimes just clicked around randomly, but I was certainly entertained by the whole thing, thanks! :) |
| Dec 17 22:24:39 | 10m 45s | The Dark Castle | ♥ 1 | This game has an intense atmosphere! :O I enjoyed the writing and the soundtrack, the different attributes, and the items ;) The first play-through was rather frustrating, because I didn't know what to look out for at all. But mood-wise, this worked really well! |
| Dec 17 23:15:15 | 50m 36s | Tail | ♥ 1 | Whoa, this is a really great control scheme, which I will probably steal sometime :P The simple graphics look beautiful! The game's balancing seems fair, and I had a great time with it! Will show this around! :> |
| Dec 17 23:28:42 | 13m 27s | Catdventure | ♥ 1 | I love everything about this! :D The weird kitty physics, the mirrored "E" button, the strange pickup mechanics, how the big cat looks at the viewer, how the small kitties try to climb on everything...! Also, the music is really catchy, and I fell in love with the space-mew sound (so much that we cloned the GitHub repo, extracted the meow, and might use it as a notification sound :P) <3 Thanks for making this, we had a really great time with this game, and will definitely show this around! Bug report: The web version is a little cut-off at the top! :) |
