Dec 4 07:13:05 Glitched ♥ 3 It has a cool idea, but it could benefit from a more interesting level design.
Dec 4 07:16:38 3m 33s Vice Life ♥ 1 I like the idea and the original way to use the theme.
Dec 4 07:19:47 3m 09s Cushion Catastrophe ♥ 1 The game sometimes places those platforms to places that cannot be reached (i.e. the previous platform is in the bottom of the screen, but the next one is in the top of the screen, so it's impossible to jump there).
Dec 4 07:24:09 4m 22s Asteroid gravity ♥ 1 Destroying those asteroids feels a little unresponsive since they just disappear. Maybe some kind sound or particle effect when destroying them with that beam weapon (I guess it's a beam weapon)?
Dec 4 07:32:43 8m 34s MOAR ENGINES ♥ 1 +1 for a working Linux version!
Dec 4 07:39:34 6m 51s Slum Lord ♥ 0 The game is a little confusing. I didn't have much idea what I was supposed to do. Maybe some kind of guide/help file could be nice?
Dec 4 07:43:20 3m 46s Secret ♥ 0 I like the concept, it's very original, but the game mechanics are slightly confusing. Music was nice.
Dec 4 07:47:38 4m 18s Stay Alive ♥ 1 Maybe it's a little raw and probably could need some polishing, but I like how many different features you managed to implement in so limited time. Also, +1 for making a turn based game! Nice job.
Dec 4 07:51:38 4m 00s Patient Zero ♥ 1 You have managed to make a game with an original concept and more depth than most Ludum Dare games. I love it!
Dec 4 07:54:40 3m 02s Ludum Dart ♥ 1 Haven't seen a dart game before. I like this one. (Also, +1 for the name!)
Dec 4 07:59:38 4m 58s Triangle Command ♥ 1 The controls feel a little sluggish (but if that's intentional, I don't complain!)
Dec 4 08:03:33 3m 55s Hoarding Havoc ♥ 2 You should add an ability to skip the text, now it felt like there was too much waiting. But nevertheless, the concept was cool, I liked the game.
Dec 4 08:05:50 2m 17s Star Destroyer ♥ 0 When that player things gets bigger, the game's performance drops for some reason. Otherwise, nice game.
Dec 4 08:14:44 8m 54s Rich in Space ♥ 0 Is there any other goal than collecting more money? Anyway, I liked this game. It has a good - and different! - game concept and well-made gameplay.
Dec 4 08:19:24 4m 40s Power Overwhelming ♥ 2 Personal game concept and well executed gameplay, that's a good combination. Good job!
Dec 4 08:22:49 3m 25s Slime Puncher 2068 ♥ 0 I wonder... why do I keep punching that poor smile, what has it done to me...? Heh, nice game.
Dec 4 08:27:18 4m 29s Puzzle Progress Prototype ♥ 1 A personal game idea, I haven't seen a puzzle game like that (in Ludum Dare) before! However, it felt a little unpolished (like moving those rectangles, why cannot I use just mouse, why I have to first select them and then use arrow keys?), but that didn't bother me very much: the idea is the most important.
Dec 4 12:41:49 4h 14m DarkPixelAdventure ♥ 1 Controls are a bit clunky (the player moves a little too fast, or maybe there should be some acceleration, the gravity is a little too strong), but otherwise this game is wonderful. It has a good amount of content and the way the theme is used is original and makes the game feel fresh and interesting. Great job!
Dec 4 12:46:37 4m 48s Greedy Dungeon ♥ 4 Graphics are wonderful and the game idea is good, but the controls... it felt like I had no control over where the character attacks with the sword, and that made fighting very hard.
Dec 4 12:50:38 4m 01s Information OVERLOAD ♥ 1 Well, that was a unique experience! (In other words, I liked it!)
Dec 4 12:54:34 3m 56s Greed Mania ♥ 0 Wait, why did that wall kill me?
Dec 4 14:51:55 1h 57m Earl's Quest ♥ 2 I love the retro feeling! The collisions were a little clumsy, though.
Dec 4 14:55:19 3m 24s Tic-Tac-Matrix ♥ 1 Wow, probably the most original - and most polished, too - game I have seen in this Ludum Dare!
Dec 4 19:46:29 4h 51m Guy is late for school ♥ 1 This game made me laugh aloud. Wonderful game!
Dec 4 19:50:34 4m 05s Neon Hell ♥ 2 Graphics are amazing.
Dec 4 19:55:42 5m 08s The More You Make ♥ 0 Well, cannot say I expected this! One of the best ways to use the theme I have seen this far.
Dec 4 20:40:36 44m 54s Plastic ♥ 0 I like the concept and the simple, clean graphics.
Dec 4 20:48:12 7m 36s The Next Floor ♥ 0 I like the concept, but maybe you should make it so that you cannot accidentally hit the wrong portal and thus fail (or at least make the hit box smaller or something)
Dec 4 20:52:21 4m 09s Space+- ♥ 1 Nice visual style. The gameplay was simple, but good.
Dec 5 15:34:11 18h 41m Hats On! ♥ 1 Who would have guessed a game about hats is so much fun!
Dec 5 15:37:08 2m 57s Infected Pong ♥ 1 Heh, I have always wanted to use Waterfox Browser! Nice game.
Dec 5 15:41:00 3m 52s 2D Pixel Shooter ♥ 1 Suggestion: ilkj does not feel very intuitive, why not arrow keys?
Dec 5 15:46:51 5m 51s The Last Stand at Epsilon Tauri B ♥ 0 Small suggestion: those laser beams could be a little bigger (or thicker, actually), now they easily disappear in the background. Otherwise, nice, simple game.
Dec 5 15:51:06 4m 15s Necromancer ♥ 1 Nice concept!
Dec 5 15:53:23 2m 17s Watch Out Your Head ♥ 1 Nice concept, but the controls feel a little sluggish (that can be intentional, though)
Dec 5 16:13:01 19m 38s Retro Rocket Run! ♥ 1 I got only 7,995, sniff. It was a bit repetitive and the web version was a bit laggy on Opera & Linux, but otherwise, I liked it. The music fit the game well.
Dec 5 16:18:19 5m 18s Barreus ♥ 1 I have seen games where the game gets harder as you health gets lower, but actually it makes more sense that you get more powerful when you have less health. Good game.
Dec 5 16:22:54 4m 35s Being Plundered ♥ 1 It has a good amount of content for something made in 48 hours. I just recommend changing the controls of the web version (not that you could change them anymore, though), for example pressing Ctrl and Space takes me to the starting page in Opera, and Alt opens a menu.
Dec 5 16:26:42 3m 48s GLORIOUS INTERNET POINTS ♥ 1 A nice, personal game concept. I liked it.
Dec 5 16:31:14 4m 32s Apocalypse Corp ♥ 0 The game was a little confusing, some kind of guide/tutorial could have been nice (even a short text in the game page could have been enough)
Dec 5 16:38:19 7m 05s LAGimals ♥ 0 It could be nice if you could lose the game somehow, to give the player motivation to actually click the right animal, not just click them all.
Dec 6 07:26:12 14h 47m Sores ♥ 0 Well, that was something different. I'm pretty sure I won't forget this game very easily. The art was wonderful and the idea unique. Wonderful job!
Dec 6 07:27:50 1m 38s Coin Collector ♥ 1 Despite the little raw graphics, the game was enjoyable and nicely done.
Dec 6 07:30:45 2m 55s Avoidance ♥ 1 Nice idea. I liked that music.
Dec 6 07:33:56 3m 11s Drone Invasion ♥ 2 The game concept was good. Some audio could have been nice, though.
Dec 6 07:36:46 2m 50s ANTagonist ♥ 1 Nice twin-stick shooter (I assume these games are called twin-stick shooters, right?)
Dec 6 08:30:41 53m 55s Steam Paralysis ♥ 0 Heh, you could call it "Steam Simulator"!
Dec 6 08:34:40 3m 59s Story of a Schizophrenic ♥ 1 Nice graphics.
Dec 6 08:46:27 11m 47s Blob Hell ♥ 2 Nice, challenging game.
Dec 6 17:01:35 8h 15m Earth Eaters ♥ 0 Wow, that was pretty nice - and original - game concept!
Dec 6 17:04:28 2m 53s Be Fit! ♥ 1 The music is awesome.
Dec 6 17:08:40 4m 12s Tri-Angle ♥ 1 It's simple, but enjoyable. I had fun playing this game. Nice job!
Dec 6 17:11:42 3m 02s Tangram Technologies ♥ 0 A cool concept and everything, but I'm not sure if I understood what this has to do with the theme.
Dec 6 19:55:51 2h 44m KissaGame ♥ 1 Well, that was a weird experience, but hey, cats! Nice game.
Dec 6 19:58:53 3m 02s CARnage ♥ 1 I wonder, why don't the people scream when they get killed by the other cars...? Maybe they enjoy getting killed by blue cars, but hate the idea of getting killed by an orange car? Anyway, good game, I liked it.
Dec 6 20:05:06 6m 13s UF-Ohh ♥ 0 Nice games and good level design. My only complain is the diagonal movement that feels a little unintuitive. Maybe some kind of mouse controls could fix this issue?
Dec 7 07:43:54 11h 38m Clones ♥ 1 Wonderful animations and special effects, and I also liked the music. The gameplay felt a little unpolished, though. Maybe reduce the gravity, so jumping would be easier? Also, was I supposed to be able to jump through those platforms?
Dec 7 15:52:51 8h 08m Team leader ♥ 1 Cool concept, but I think there's a little too much waiting.
