| Dec 5 02:45:00 | Squirrel Puncher 4000! | ♥ 1 | Pretty awesome music, indeed. I'm also not sure how to actually deal with the bullets shot at me... | |
| Dec 5 19:07:08 | 16h 22m | Cat Clicker | ♥ 1 | Very cool music, and I love the setting (meow). It's basically a micromanagement game, so gameplay isn't very deep, but actually fun, and the scrolling is unnecessary (a single page would suffice). I never got any black ribbon cats until the end. Luck? |
| Dec 5 19:21:05 | 13m 57s | All By Yourself | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun game, though IMO it doesn't fit the theme too well (more is easier here). Nice pixel graphics |
| Dec 5 19:33:29 | 12m 24s | Squares & Hexes | ♥ 0 | Pretty basic, but consistent graphics, I like it! The music is getting on my nerves after some time, but hey - we don't have any music at all in our game ;-) I really don't understand how the speed is regulated, the last level is only manageable when the player is fast enough - is this changing per death? |
| Dec 5 19:42:47 | 9m 18s | Ionising | ♥ 0 | Nice game! If you can fix jumping (and shooting, which bugs from time to time as well) it would be greatly appreciated, as this can be quite nerve wrecking... But the quick restart time fixes a lot of these issues ;-) |
| Dec 5 19:51:53 | 9m 06s | Spacelitch | ♥ 4 | Fascinating! You had the same idea as we had, about the player's own bullets being his biggest enemy... Though by level design, the player notices this quite a bit earlier than it does in our game :-/ Very nice oldschool graphics, great chiptune! Good difficulty, though I'm not that good any more... |
| Dec 5 19:58:29 | 6m 36s | Diet Time | ♥ 1 | Cool interpretation, nice graphics, great tune. A very nice and fun quick game. I don't even want to know how fast the food flies past 60... |
| Dec 5 20:10:00 | 11m 31s | Boat&Friends | ♥ 2 | Very cool mechanics, it's a rare gem getting a game design like this! Graphics is reasonable, and it's really surprisingly difficult to get many boxes to the shore. I didn't manage more than 25. And that's only because I was constantly fishing ;-))) |
| Dec 5 20:21:47 | 11m 47s | CATSPLOSION | ♥ 2 | Awesome graphics and music, the best so far! I can't get the calming done, though, I loose all the time :-/ Yeah, cuteness overload! 😁 |
| Dec 5 20:39:57 | 18m 10s | Squire | ♥ 3 | Very cool game design, artful graphics and skilled music and sound effects! I don't think it fits the LD theme too well, but what the heck. It's fun, though stressful - and it seems to me that you have to guess in advance what will be needed next - otherwise the fighter dies to quickly when he runs out of sword... Having to explicitly select the weapon is nuisance, just pressing the short keys 1-6 should be enough - I don't know how often I pressed 6 for Taco and ran away, just to find out that I had not selected it... Certainly one of the highlights of this year's LD! |
| Dec 8 18:15:29 | 69h 35m | Cute invaders | ♥ 2 | Nice game, or rather experiment! It fits the theme perfectly, and though you can't do much and there's no explicit goal, it's haunting seeing you chickens die :-/ |
| Dec 11 22:16:23 | 76h 00m | Chuckles, the Word Juggler | ♥ 1 | Nice music and implementation! Does work pretty well, until you mistype something, and at least for me it happens that I want to retry, and retry, and *bang*. Game over ;-) So for me it's more a psychological difficulty than a typing difficulty :-P |
| Dec 11 22:32:56 | 16m 33s | The Adequate Shepherd | ♥ 0 | Nice idea, neat graphics, but the gameplay is too slow for me. But maybe I'm just too impatient, I could never heard sheep in real life as well 8-> |
| Dec 11 22:42:01 | 9m 05s | Shall they up? | ♥ 1 | Nice! One additional possibility for a bullet hell! I like the idea that you actually change the attack waves by your weapon choice. Good job with the own engine. Some sound effects would be helpful, though. |
| Dec 11 22:58:29 | 16m 28s | Murder Milk | ♥ 1 | Awesome style, great graphics and sound effects, and though simple a lot of fun to play! Though the basic slash is probably too powerful, so you don't have to experiment too much. It's getting pretty hectic after 4500 points ;-) |
| Dec 23 14:49:21 | 279h 50m | Debt Crisis | ♥ 0 | Hmmm. Nice idea, and indeed stressful. Cool music. Nice theme as well, I like the "suspicious looking fungi" ;-) A bit of feedback when the entered amount is not correct would be helpful (e.g. flash the entered number red), and use of the 'o' key is cumbersome - enter would be my natural choice. But definitely a nice job! |
| Dec 23 15:03:35 | 14m 14s | Oversize Load | ♥ 0 | Really cool game, one of the best physics based I played in this Ludum Dare! The music and sound effects are good, too. Thanks for keeping the high scores! I wonder how some of the scores have been achieved... The theme is also matched very well! The graphics could be a bit more detailed, but that is nitpicking on a high level. |
| Dec 23 15:13:02 | 9m 27s | Yellow Beans | ♥ 1 | Nice pixel graphics look, and the great music adds to the mood. The controls are hard to remember correctly, that has been stated by several reviewers, and I agree. Of course because of the single fight the theme isn't anywhere to be found. The fighting method is actually quite interesting, though difficult. All in all it's a bit problematic for this Ludum Dare, but the mood is fantastic, and I'd love to see a more detailed and revised version of this game. Keep on working, this definitely has potential! |
| Dec 23 15:22:40 | 9m 38s | Bits | ♥ 0 | Cool idea, the different variants of jobs you have to do are nerve wrecking :D I don't really understand the timer, it seems to go multiple times, and the amount of bits you have to collect goes up and up. I don't think there's a different present than a lava lamp ;-) I think it doesn't really match the theme, but that doesn't matter too much. Congrats on a great first game! |
| Dec 23 15:46:39 | 23m 59s | Running With Scissors | ♥ 2 | Absolutely enjoyable game. It gets really hard in the 4th level. Very nice art, great gameplay! I also love the setting. The only critics I have is that often I don't know where my seat actually is - I try getting to it, and take a detour, which take too much time (and space) to be able to win. So sometimes it's pure luck whether I'm going in the right corridor or direction. If you could point to the general direction of my seat (e.g. an arrow at the edge of the screen) when the flashing table is not visible, that would be awesome. Also, please blink the next girl at the beginning, so you have a visual clue where to find the next character - sometimes it takes a few seconds until you recognize which girl is the next. But as the timer isn't counting yet, this is only a minor nuisance. All in all this just very minor nitpicking, great game! One of the most fun games I played in this Ludum Dare! |
| Dec 23 16:00:57 | 14m 18s | Spin Attack | ♥ 1 | Nice mood, graphics, music, physics. The controls are a bit sluggish. I like this first levels being just like a tutorial, I don't like so much the fact that you don't really know how the level is constructed - the field of view is a little small. All in all a very nice puzzle game. Presentation is also very polished. |
| Dec 23 16:11:54 | 10m 57s | Zombeer | ♥ 1 | Awesome funny game. When I see those other highscores, I just know how bad I'm at it X-D Sometimes I was surrounded by zombies, and they just wouldn't die, so I died pretty soon afterwards. Given that others managed much better I assume this is my personal fault. But I'd love to see zombies dissolve after they reduced your health. OTOH maybe this ruins gameplay... I like the visual effects, though they don't disturb gameplay as much as they probably should ;-) |
| Dec 23 16:19:12 | 7m 18s | Amitosis | ♥ 0 | I played and loved the game already during Ludum Dare (we developed our game in the rooms of Pixel Maniacs as a separate team, thanks again Ben for the invitation 😁) - it was a different experience back than, without the final assets... Congrats to you and your team, this is an amazing job - it also shows that you know how to polish a game. The assets are plain awesome! And it's definitely one of the most innovative games I've played for this LD's theme! |
| Aug 13 18:34:47 | 5594h 15m | Orbits | ♥ 0 | Wow. that is super smooth, great artwork, great sound, great gameplay! Very innovative, and despite being innovative it is super fun! What a great entry! I wonder whether the physics are correct according to Newton's law, or whether they have been bent a little to make up for better gameplay; guess I have to look at the source code 😉 |
