| Dec 11 06:24:47 | Dense Revolve | ♥ 1 | Liked the way you used the theme, thought it was a clever take. Was fun trying to balance the amount of bullets I had and my actual movement. Made it a challenge to figure out a strategy to move around in position and then to reload once in position. The graphics also worked well for the minimalist feeling of the game. | |
| Dec 11 06:52:15 | 27m 28s | The lost strawberry | ♥ 1 | Really enjoyed this one and liked how much content you were able to get into this. All the different levels showed different gameplay mechanics and tricks which was great as you progressed and got into the flow of the controls. Also couldn't stop playing until I finished it and that last boss battle was a tough one to get a handle on but was fun and worth it. Great game. |
| Dec 11 07:16:56 | 24m 41s | Reaper Boy LD40 Edition | ♥ 0 | Nice polished art and the gameplay was really fun to play around with. Liked the way you had to drop down on enemies to pass the level and use that mechanic to move around the screen. |
| Dec 11 07:29:20 | 12m 24s | Level Onslaught | ♥ 1 | Liked the way you used the theme, thought that was fun take on it. Did have issues at times as you've mentioned with the enemy bugging out and me not being able to hit them. Would be nice to see a slightly polished update with these bugs finished as I liked the simplicity of seeing how long you can survive. Also the music was great really helped set the mood. Hope your driving test went well. |
| Dec 11 09:59:57 | 2h 30m | Money Is Everything | ♥ 0 | Liked the way you implemented the one button mechanic, worked really well. Did have issues with the enemies spawn points though as at times it was impossible to miss a combination of theme. Graphics are great and I just wish there was some sounds to compliment them cause the design and animations are fantastic. |
| Dec 11 10:12:14 | 12m 17s | Cardhoard | ♥ 1 | Loved how polished this felt playing it. Such a great combination of graphics and gameplay. The jumping and stomping on boxes was really satisfying and quite addictive. Made me want to keep trying to beat my previous score which is always a good sign. |
| Dec 11 10:35:40 | 23m 26s | Slightly annoying traffic | ♥ 1 | Such a clever simple concept, really well executed. Liked how simple the controls were with the stop start but that it worked so well. As others have mentioned I could see this working well on mobile and would be nice with some extra variety. Fun at the ending just watching all the cars keep coming, quite hypnotic. |
| Dec 11 10:45:49 | 10m 09s | Holiday Parking Panic! | ♥ 0 | The fun of grabbing presents and parking has never been so enjoyable. Liked how all the drivers were doing there own thing and didn't care what you were doing, made it harder where you always had to think about what the drivers around you were doing. |
| Dec 11 10:55:25 | 9m 36s | Be Yourself | ♥ 1 | Fun entry, liked the clean design and gameplay. Thought they complimented each other well. Do wish the difficulty eased you in a bit more as it got hectic quite quickly. |
| Dec 11 11:12:42 | 17m 17s | Christmas Present | ♥ 0 | Such a unique fun concept. Liked the way you interpreted the theme and used the windows to make it part of the gameplay. |
| Dec 11 11:25:39 | 12m 57s | Curse of Greed | ♥ 0 | This is fantastic, my favourite entry so far. Such a polished entry that uses the theme perfectly to create a unique platformer. Loved the balancing aspect of gold and health, which made me play it a few times after my first attempt I was collecting all the gold as you'd expect. |
| Dec 11 11:44:14 | 18m 35s | Sunken | ♥ 1 | Liked the simple graphics, think they worked well for this but do think there could be more contrast with the text as at times it was a bit unreadable. |
| Dec 12 13:19:49 | 25h 35m | Mayfly | ♥ 1 | Enjoyed this well written entry of yours. And liked that we had similar ideas in mind with the choices presented to the player. Nice to see someone else was on my wavelength :) Even though there's a lot of text I found I couldn't stop going along until I got to the end cause the character and situation you built up was an interesting one. Liked that you went through the days but things kept moving forward with changes occurring to the characters. Think the simple art also worked well in leaving it to the players imagination. Especially liked the way you used music at times to build up the scene. Great entry and was fun to see something so different from your usual entries. |
| Dec 12 13:48:50 | 29m 01s | Babies! Babies! Babies! | ♥ 1 | Another quirky, unique entry for Ludum Dare. Also enjoy seeing what you end up making and once again I haven't been disappointed. Those babies were a nightmare the way they grabbed on and slowed you down until you were able to get them off. I really liked the baby head in the foreground also that added more depth and was kind of spooky looking. |
| Dec 12 14:09:47 | 20m 57s | BufferMAN: Hack 80's style! | ♥ 0 | Nice game, liked the Level 1 layout and how it teaches the player about the different controls and moves. Do think the movement could be tightened a bit further but for a jam game with a deadline I know it's always hard to get to the polishing stage. Level 2 was also an interesting surprise :) and glad you did what you did with the time you had. Was interesting to see the different things. |
| Dec 12 14:36:55 | 27m 08s | Temple of Greed | ♥ 2 | Really clever reverse metroidvania. Liked the way you implemented the reward and risk strategy, thought it was designed in a smart way. Was fun to figure out the way you had to approach the rooms to obtain the most gold possible. I was able to become a Queen with my wealth so quite happy with my progress. Music, art and character movement also worked nicely together in complimenting each other and made it a pleasure to play around with the movement. Only suggestion I can give is that at first I was picking up the gold without reading the text so might be nice to even though you've collected it, to fade out the text slowly in case you accidently collect without reading first. |
| Dec 13 12:15:56 | 21h 39m | The More You Make | ♥ 0 | This is brilliant, loved the way you used the theme and how much you were able to pull off in such a short time. Can't even get my head around the programming for all that. Enjoyed trying the different games and seeing what each one was. Was a nice take on some classic retro games. Favourite entry so far this jam. Congrats. |
| Dec 13 12:33:49 | 17m 53s | you are the coin master | ♥ 1 | Fun entry. Liked how you used the the theme, thought it was clever. The quick death restarts also made it easy to keep going as the checkpoints were so close you didn't lose much of the progress. Seeing the screen grow into such a glitchy mess was also really interesting. Liked trying to figure out what was going on. |
| Dec 13 13:03:12 | 29m 23s | Bum Bag Bangin' | ♥ 1 | Such a great jam game with a simple gameplay mechanic perfectly executed. Absolutely loved the audio and graphics which complimented each other so well. The story was also quirky and humours which was great to see and the character designs were fantastic. Absolute pleasure to play this one. Getting complimented has never felt so good :) |
| Dec 13 13:11:02 | 7m 50s | Hyper diapers | ♥ 1 | Interesting take on the time management idea. Liked the way you used it with the theme, thought it was an clever interpretation. The graphics and different interactions you could have with the babies in the scene was also nicely done. Great usage of minimalist colours to get the safety and danger areas across to the player. |
| Dec 17 05:36:01 | 88h 24m | Mushroom Délicieux | ♥ 1 | Always enjoy seeing what you're able to create with Pico-8 and this is another interesting game. Liked the way you have to move around the screen quickly and can't see what's up ahead, means you have to think quickly with what you're running into. The chaotic feel as you progress also works well in raising the stakes and making it more difficult. Got up to level 5 on my first go. |
| Dec 17 06:56:49 | 1h 20m | Speed Date Shuffle | ♥ 1 | The art in this is really nice, liked the design of the characters and the layout. Also the use of the speed dating idea was cleverly done with the cards and an interesting use of the theme. |
| Dec 17 07:10:40 | 13m 51s | Life's A Glitch | ♥ 1 | Fun game and liked the fast pace of it all. The glitch aesthetic was well done and liked that you had to fight it off as you collected things. The one screen arena gameplay also worked in allowing you to try and build a strategy for moving around. |
| Dec 17 07:38:25 | 27m 45s | Cyber Instinct | ♥ 0 | Interesting take on the tower defense genre, liked how you added the platformer aspect to it. Think the movement could be tweaked and tightened a bit as I did have problems going up the stairs at times. The graphics are really nicely polished and looked great. The drones designs felt really finalised. |
| Dec 17 07:45:36 | 7m 11s | DO NOT FEED | ♥ 1 | Even though you didn't finish this and weren't really inspired by the theme, I liked what you ended up pulling off. The dog was fun to run around even with its simple look and scaring off the pigeons was surprisingly satisfying. |
| Dec 17 08:01:10 | 15m 34s | Shoot and Die | ♥ 1 | The switch between the cameras was a nice gameplay mechanic. The art was also well done, liked the horde of enemies that would come in each level. The minimalist colours also worked well in setting the scene. |
| Dec 17 08:28:48 | 27m 38s | DRAGLUTTONY | ♥ 1 | The art in this is fantastic. Loved the way the dragons would grow as you fed them. Was nicely done with really smooth transitions. Liked the uniqueness of the two player gameplay also thought it was well done and an interesting take on the theme. |
| Dec 17 09:43:43 | 1h 14m | POKED - be social | ♥ 2 | Love the art in this one, one of the best looking entries I've played so far. The way you got across the notifications was a really nice take on the theme, thoroughly enjoyed it. |
| Dec 17 09:50:56 | 7m 13s | I'll Take You To Tomato Town | ♥ 0 | Clever game, had more fun doing my grocery shopping then I've ever had in real life. The audio and graphics worked so well together and grabbing things was nicely done with the stretchy hand. |
| Dec 17 11:03:11 | 1h 12m | Micro Trooper | ♥ 1 | The feel of the shooting in this is so satisfying, made playing such a nice experience. Liked the juiciness and feedback of destroying the enemies and moving around, really nice polished entry. |
| Dec 19 08:00:56 | 44h 57m | Maurim: Unepic thief | ♥ 2 | The pixel art in this is fantastic. One of the better entries I've played so far, nice job. Liked the gameplay mechanic and that the levels were quick and not dragged out layouts. Would be nice if there was a completing level transition with him entering the door but know this is a jam so you never get time for everything :) great polished entry with art and music that works really well together, congrats. |
| Dec 19 08:16:48 | 15m 52s | Goblins 2 Go | ♥ 1 | The graphics for this are fantastic, loved the different monsters you could create and all the little movements. The way the liquid moved in the jars was also nicely done, made it enjoyable to play around with. The colour and character designs were also a great choice in making a cute light game with an interesting mechanic. |
| Dec 19 12:27:24 | 4h 10m | Ghosth - Annoying Ghosts | ♥ 0 | This was really clever and fun, loved the whole ghost mechanic and how you had to use them to get around to new areas. Thoought that was well implemented. Have to admit that at first I did miss the areas that you could drop down into and it took a few goes walking back and forward before I noticed them. One of the most polished games I've played so far this Ludum Dare with great music and graphics. Was fun to play. |
| Dec 19 12:37:50 | 10m 26s | Need more coffee | ♥ 0 | Fun take on the theme, liked the way you used the coffee as a gameplay mechanic. The shader you used as you drink the coffee was effective. |
| Dec 20 09:32:49 | 20h 54m | Dudes Vs All Kinds of Stuff | ♥ 1 | The graphics in this were great, really gave it that retro contra feel to it all especially with the shooting. Liked how the difficulty ramped up, thought it did it at a good pace. As others have mentioned it would be nice if you could configure the controls but with such a short jam time always understandable you can't get everything in. |
| Dec 20 10:05:24 | 32m 35s | Golden Valkyrie | ♥ 1 | Clever game, loved the way you had to balance your size with your movement and power. Thought that was really well implemented and played for a lot longer then I'd first expected, which is always a good sign. Art was also great. |
| Dec 20 10:26:01 | 20m 37s | Life is money | ♥ 2 | This was an interesting piece. Liked the repetitive nature of it all and how that was part of the message so it helped emphasise this. The music also changing as you progressed along was a nice touch and liked how things slowly came into focus around you. Made me play longer just to see what would show up. Got upto 200 and something before I stopped playing. The art in this was also fantastic I really enjoyed the feeling it gave the game and how it added to the message. |
| Dec 20 10:40:14 | 14m 13s | Starbage Man | ♥ 1 | The voice work in this is great, liked how it progressed the story and added humour to the game. Was fun to see how your role changed as you played and you moved up the role ladder. Thought that was pretty funny. Did have issues with the flight navigation and with some tweaking it could be a nicer experience but did like that you could go back in to the ship view and look at the galaxy map to see your position. Added a different element to the game. |
| Dec 20 11:43:59 | 1h 03m | The Dark Castle | ♥ 1 | Impressed with how much content you were able to get in. Liked that you encourage more playthroughs with the different endings and how your choices did have an affect on how things played out and the options you were left with. The art also worked well in setting the atmosphere of the story. |
| Dec 20 12:07:21 | 23m 22s | Feature Creep Inc | ♥ 2 | Liked that you once again chose to do something different for your ludum dare. Always enjoy seeing how you interpret the themes. Thought this gamemaking world building concept was an interesting idea and liked that you had to add features to be able to play and get around the map. Did have issues at times reading the text because of the speed and the cutting but was a unqiue entry with graphics that worked well in setting the game up. |
| Dec 20 12:22:47 | 15m 26s | Potdemon | ♥ 0 | Liked the simple design and exploration aspect of this game. Reminded me of No Mans Sky with the detecting the demons you find along the way. Thought it was done well and liked that trying to find all the demons kept you exploring trying to see where others were hiding. Did find myself at moments feeling like I was stuck and couldn't get out of certain environments though. |
| Dec 20 12:31:42 | 8m 55s | Cool Hat Mr. Hat | ♥ 0 | Fun unique concept perfectly executed. Enjoyed the arcade vibe to this one with how simple it was but how much fun it was to play and try and see how far along you could get. The different hat variety was also a nice touch. |
| Dec 20 12:41:34 | 9m 52s | BURROWED TIME | ♥ 0 | The graphics in this are fantastic. The particle effects are so good. Enjoyed going through the dungeons and running to try and find the gates. Really polished entry. |
| Dec 20 12:52:29 | 10m 55s | StackUp | ♥ 2 | The art in this is great, really liked the look of the game. As others have mentioned, the physics were a bit off and the objects felt like they had no real weight. But I liked the concept and thought having to control the cat and the crane at the same time was a nice unique touch. |
| Dec 21 07:47:08 | 18h 54m | Juggle Jam | ♥ 0 | Interesting toy, always been interested in juggling so was nice to see the maths behind it. Did find the editor a bit confusing though but did have fun trying out all the preset patterns and seeing how it worked. |
| Dec 21 08:03:52 | 16m 44s | Greed is a $in | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept, liked how as you progressed the greed would take over was a nice unique concept. The change in weapon as the waves kept coming was also well done, liked that it changed the gameplay. |
| Dec 21 08:28:37 | 24m 45s | Click | ♥ 0 | Impressive with how much you were able to do in the one day. The controls worked well once I realised what they were after reading the text file. And then I also noticed that it actually also tells you in the game but I was just missing it so my mistake. Liked the rhythmic pattern and thought the music was nicely done and built up at a good pace. I suck at music so always impressed with people who can create appealing music in a short time. The art also worked well in allowing the focus to be on the gameplay and music. |
| Dec 21 08:59:42 | 31m 05s | Shoot off their lumps | ♥ 0 | Short game but extremely polished and left me wanting to play more. Really enjoyed the gameplay and the graphics were some of the best I've seen this ludum dare. The atmosphere was also nicely done and the lumps was an interesting way to deal with the monsters. |
| Dec 21 09:10:20 | 10m 38s | Cats are assholes | ♥ 0 | Loved this one, such a great polished game. Enjoyed playing a lot more then I expected before I started which was a nice surprise. The game got pretty hectic with all the cats and trying to manage everything but it was lots of fun. Most polished graphics I've seen so far this Ludum Dare. |
| Dec 22 06:50:24 | 21h 40m | A time paradox | ♥ 0 | Clever game and liked the way you used the theme in a time paradox. Was interesting and a unique take from all the other entries I've played so far. The movement did feel a bit stiff at times but it did work in its own way in setting the time paradox feeling of things not being quite right. Not sure if intended but it worked. The puzzles took some getting used to in solving and think there could have been a bit more of an ease in the difficulty and letting the player understand how to figure it out. Overall a really clever, challenging game that seemed well thought out and complete. Nice job. |
| Dec 25 12:59:12 | 78h 08m | Atoms - an arcade game | ♥ 0 | Took me a few goes to figure out how to use the movement of the red balls to get around but once I realised what I was meant to do, it proved an interesting task to achieve. Liked the graphics thought the atoms had an effective design. |
| Dec 25 13:13:28 | 14m 16s | Like a Boss Rush | ♥ 0 | Enjoyed this and did make me miss playing the old text adventure games. Thought it was really well written. Liked that the first scene made me think of the old donkey kong game which helped me figure out what to do in it. I did end up getting stuck as someone else has mentioned in the "run underneath him" segment. Tried for ages but couldn't figure it out which once again reminds me of the old text adventure games when you struggle with the words. Interested to know what it was as I'm sure when I know I'll see it was obvious :) |
| Dec 25 13:25:48 | 12m 20s | Critter™ Sitter | ♥ 1 | Enjoyed the way you interpreted the theme. Thought it was an interesting take with the mix of tamagotchi and management system. The sounds and music also worked well in setting the retro vibe to the game which was a nice touch. Liked playing and seeing how many I could survive with. Fun challenge. |
| Dec 25 13:39:55 | 14m 07s | Love Potion #7.2 | ♥ 1 | Interesting use of the theme. Liked the gameplay and thought it was quite addictive trying to dodge the townspeople until you had enough gas. |
| Dec 25 13:49:46 | 9m 51s | Farrison Hoard & The Cave of Coins | ♥ 1 | I survived and made $38. Liked how the gold you collected along the way helped shield you from the fire as you proceeded even though it did at times hinder you with your movement. Interesting trade off. The humour from collecting the larger statues and objects was also a nice touch. Just wish there had been more levels to try :) |
| Dec 25 14:01:03 | 11m 17s | SHOPPOTRON | ♥ 1 | Liked the challenge of this and thought it eased you in to the gameplay and difficulty well. Although I did find one of the earlier ones harder then some of the later ones. The rules of the objects were also taught well. |
