| Dec 4 02:49:20 | About The CyberFighter | ♥ 0 | The ending really got me, great job. | |
| Dec 4 18:10:54 | 15h 21m | Snowfall | ♥ 3 | The controls were not very intuitive, and it took me good while to realize I was putting the buckets on a grid. I would appreciate some lines marking the grid to which the buckets get locked to. It was quite annoying when I could not put the bucket to the ground because I was standing too close to the destination, just as a snowflake hit the ground. The game was very fun, with some actually interesting strategy, if you want to really go for the highscore (which I always do). You naturally want to lock in your buckets near the sides of the map, and as close to each other as possible. That means you need to use as many of the snowflakes that fall to sides to lock in the buckets, so you should have at least one almost full bucket ready at all times. It is also important to exploit the bug where you see the shadow of the next snowflake for one frame after a snowflake lands, and it also is useful to know that there are always exactly two snowflakes falling, and the snowflakes that fall near the top fall sooner. Although I did make some mistakes in my best run, I think I did alright. The game gets several new interesting aspects at around the 130 snowflake mark. swc.png As you can see, I got a bit unlucky and had to split my path exactly in half, which led to an inevitable loss. In the end I got 192. The theme was not really there though, as it was rather beneficial having more buckets, as they still were catching the falling snowflakes. It almost felt like an incremental game in this aspect. The audio was alright. |
| Dec 4 18:51:50 | 40m 56s | The Crushed Sky | ♥ 1 | Won :), some physics was a bit weird (boxes falling with constant speed and tapping x being better than holding it). Difficulty was alright. |
| Dec 4 21:20:24 | 2h 28m | Petrucio, the gem stealer | ♥ 3 | Fun quick little game with very juicy feel. Got 1070 after a while. I don't get the point of the time limit, when there is rising difficulty over time. I loved how you could lose axes by throwing them on the carts. |
| Dec 5 00:45:11 | 3h 24m | AntiBucket | ♥ 0 | Somehow got 36 once. Cute little game. The bricks are unfair, but I feel like it fits the overall feel of the game. |
| Dec 5 00:57:39 | 12m 28s | Immune Invasion | ♥ 1 | Wow, this game is hard. I gave up after about 6 tries of level 2. |
| Dec 5 01:06:15 | 8m 36s | Get in Shape | ♥ 0 | The music was great. The jkl minigames didn't need any attention, I was just tapping the keys to the beat and it worked. |
| Dec 5 02:19:05 | 1h 12m | Stupid Citizen | ♥ 0 | So I played couple rounds, tried different strategies and stuff. The game is really polished, I like that. In a run where I finally thought I did alright (220s, 5768 score), it still said "I am slightly disappointed". Should I aim for bigger score? Am I playing it wrong? @Nick-Rafalski Why do you think it is easy? What is your best score? And what makes it unbalanced? |
| Dec 7 02:28:59 | 48h 09m | Piggybank Farmer Tycoon | ♥ 1 | I absolutely love the idea and general concept of using your coins to get more coins by feeding them to the piggybanks. The execution is not that great though. There is not much to do except for clicking coins in the middle and clicking wolves when there were any. There doesn't seem to be any end or goal, except for the numbers getting bigger, seemingly endlessly. I love the dubstep action you got going on. It got very laggy at aroud 70 pigs for me. |
| Dec 8 17:02:39 | 38h 33m | Droplet | ♥ 1 | Concept is not very new or innovative. It really bothered me that I couldn't tell which drops I could eat and which not when they had similar size to mine. Really nice chill mood, good flow of the game. Some graphic effects to make the drop eating juicier could improve the experience even further. |
| Dec 8 17:58:50 | 56m 11s | Space Birds | ♥ 0 | I cannot run the game, 7-zip says "[File] cannot be opened as an archive" |
| Dec 8 20:38:49 | 2h 39m | Sofra | ♥ 1 | Wow, hands down the best game for LD40 I played so far. Perfect interpretation of the theme, lovely graphics, clever level design and a cute story. Oh, and sounds are on point too. |
| Dec 9 00:11:06 | 3h 32m | XenoNanny | ♥ 1 | Great art and flow. In the air, the character had a bit too big inertia for my taste. The concept of the creatures was a bit flexed out only in the first few levels, then I could finish the levels while ignoring the critters. Also, only after finishing the game, I read that I can interact with stuff myself or throw the creatures. So I guess I finished it on a hard mode? |
| Dec 9 20:14:31 | 20h 03m | The More the Not So Much Merriblobs | ♥ 1 | Nice game, but I am confused by difficulty scaling. |
