Dec 6 01:58:45		Property In-spectre	♥ 1	Nice game, there are so many assets and two 3D animated characters, so one can see that you've put a lot of work on it. On the other side, control is not very accurate, but it doesn't make the game unplayable. Very good 2D art, also. And thanks for the comment on our entry, mate. Glad you liked it :)
Dec 6 02:48:22	49m 37s	Don't Grow Ego	♥ 0	I really enjoyed this one! Loved the clean and elegant style and the translation of the theme into a simple mechanic. Small entry, but extremely polished, with very good taste for graphics and music. Congrats!
Dec 6 03:08:01	19m 39s	POKED - be social	♥ 3	Awesome entry :D Very clever theme interpretation, I love it. You've captured perfectly the feeling of living sticked to your phone 24/7. I also love the cactus 🌵 🤣
Dec 6 03:33:22	25m 21s	Slightly annoying traffic	♥ 1	Great gameplay! I enjoyed a lot (best score: 2700). It's also very funny to see how the road gets crazy when you fail :D Something to improve would be the score visibility, I didn't notice that it was there until the 3rd play.
Dec 6 04:04:58	31m 36s	Tenant Chaos	♥ 1	Pretty original take on the theme + nice soundtrack. Nowadays I live on the tenant side, so it's funny to play a game where I am the landlord :D The most common answer I get in real life is "Deal with it yourselves", so that one was also the most common I gave in the game. Btw, some timers were too short and I was unable to read the full text.
Dec 6 23:46:09	19h 41m	Multiple Escapees	♥ 0	Great concept! Level design is a bit unbalanced in my opinion, but the game is fun to play anyway.
Dec 7 01:51:24	2h 05m	No Name Ninja Game	♥ 1	Liked a lot the innovative game mechanic. Pretty hard though.
Dec 7 02:50:36	59m 12s	Super Team	♥ 2	Awesome game with a fantastic soundtrack!! I had a great time playing it! I'm impressed by your extremely clever use of the theme. The game's difficulty is well balanced too: last level is tough but accessible. I think my favorite song was the main menu theme. Btw, when I first saw the flower inevitably came to my mind Flowey from Undertale :D
Dec 7 04:07:29	1h 16m	Wonder Tsum	♥ 2	Great entry! Really cool idea, although at some point it gets so hard that we didn't manage to finish it :/ The gameplay and general mood reminds us a bit of LocoRoco, a masterpiece of video games published on PSP a few years ago (if you didn't play it, you definitely should). Well done! Also, thanks for your kind words on our entry :)
Dec 7 04:25:01	17m 32s	unipsychle	♥ 1	Very fun and addictive :D Love its simplicity.
Dec 7 16:56:01	12h 31m	Statues	♥ 2	What a beautiful plaything! Well done folks.
Dec 7 17:17:02	21m 01s	Furtive Fortune	♥ 0	Great concept and gameplay! At first I tried to get all coins, but then escape was absolutely impossible, so I played it a second time with only 8 coins. Even so, it was pretty hard!
Dec 9 04:49:19	35h 32m	Hero Human Man-Pirate	♥ 1	5 star audio with no doubt for the main menu song and superb voice acting ❤️ The game is fun but extremely difficult. We're enjoying it, so we'll keep trying on the next few days (thanks to the savedata feature), but I don't think we will ever manage to beat it. Anyway, well done. We as players can perfectly see that you had lots of fun making this game, so playing it feels really good. Main Menu -> Tune Yer Game -> Mute = NEVERRRRRR hahahahaha Best options menu ever 😂 Finally, we'd like to thank you for your comment on our entry, it really touched us. The emotion sequence you described is exactly what we intended with our game. It is great for us to see that someone has gone through the experience just as we would like. So thank you again, for playing and for sharing your thoughts :)
Dec 9 17:32:02	12h 42m	The Lost City of Bhalrim	♥ 2	Lovely old school game :) The high level of polish and a wide variety of events makes it a great experience. Also, the treasure gathering mechanic is really clever.
Dec 9 18:24:57	52m 55s	Pajuu - Always With You	♥ 2	Beautiful experience. Not gonna lie, I'm a bit tired of raw platformer mechanics, but this one has a special mood that makes it stand out among others. I'd like to contribute from a user testing perspective. Platforms are much more difficult than freeze mechanic. In fact, I've never failed because of using scarf too much (if it wasn't in the description I wouldn't notice), but I've failed lots of times on platforms. Also, a pretty annoying bug that I think should be fixed is what @aviland points out: pajuu_capture.gif The fox's flipping point at the head causes that behaviour when I hit A. But hey, it's only a tiny bug, the overall experience is fantastic!!
Dec 10 03:52:23	9h 27m	Mr. Capital!	♥ 1	Great concept, excellent level design, lovely music track and it even has a social-aware message!!! Congratulations, you've made a top compo entry.
Dec 10 16:58:22	13h 05m	Save the Plants	♥ 3	Super fun gameplay! Very solid entry. My best score: 2.27. Great work!
Dec 10 17:52:54	54m 32s	The Tulpa	♥ 0	Wow, awesome experience. Despite the fact that keyboard control is a bit clumsy, the overall atmosphere feels reaaaaally good. Especially the outstanding use of light and sound. Well done, it was a pleasure to play this. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to fit the jam's theme in any way. It looks more like you added the swirl effect in order to adapt the game to a concept that was totally unlinked to the theme. But hey, it's not mandatory that everyone follows the theme, it's just there to help some people with "blank page syndrome". It's only that I like the "theme interpretation" part of Ludum Dare jams.
Dec 10 18:09:54	17m 00s	Where The Grains Are	♥ 1	Nice short experience :) I've enjoyed it.
Dec 10 19:25:50	1h 15m	Farmland Invasion	♥ 1	Quite simple, but fun to play. Good work!
Dec 10 22:26:45	3h 00m	Drugrun	♥ 2	Very good game! I wasn't able to beat the final boss, but until that I enjoyed music, graphics, drug effects... everything was really cool. My little advice is about the camera controller: for platformers, it always feels better when the camera does not jump when the player jumps (unless you want the player to experience some dizzy effect). Btw I've checked out your itch.io user page and I absolutely loved "Beating assholes in some dungeon" :D I wonder what game engine you're using to create your games.
Dec 10 23:58:40	1h 31m	Greedy Guy!	♥ 1	Really good result for only 7 hours and your first time :) My best score: 30.
Dec 11 00:48:21	49m 41s	City Mayhem	♥ 1	Had a great time looting the city :D It's pretty impressive that only one person made both art and programming for this game. Good job!
Dec 11 01:24:17	35m 56s	Mr. Great President	♥ 0	That was quite funny :D Not really sure about how things affect anxiety and popularity though. Anyway, it's obvious that the more Donald Trump you have, the worse it is!
Dec 11 15:55:50	14h 31m	Hats On!	♥ 0	Very good idea: simple, fun and addictive. I like it a lot!
Dec 11 16:45:05	49m 15s	Mizu	♥ 1	Very original idea :) There are many platformer games on the compo, but this one is the best I've played so far. Water-fill mechanic gives an special touch and level design is superb. The game is well designed and balanced. And the two last levels are really intense!! Well done!
Dec 11 19:42:36	2h 57m	Snow You Want to be a Snow Plow Driver?	♥ 0	Good take on the theme. It would be nice to see the snow plow's position in the city map. Also, the bug that makes it get stuck on building sides is a bit annoying, but the game is fun to play anyway. My best score: 1457.73
Dec 11 20:15:52	33m 16s	Great Deal	♥ 1	As you say in the description, the game feels a bit unfinished, but it's an interesting concept and different from the things that we're used to play. I played it a few times and liked a lot the idea of expressing my feelings with my fingers :D
Dec 12 01:53:33	5h 37m	PHOTOPSIA.	♥ 1	Quite interesting entry. Graphics are simple yet effective, main character animations are well polished, and music contributes to create a great alien atmosphere. I've especially enjoyed the music. Good work!
Dec 12 02:02:04	8m 31s	Money transporter	♥ 1	Great gameplay! The car goes a bit fast so it take me some time to get used to it, but once I was ready I really enjoyed the game.
Dec 12 02:22:06	20m 02s	Retro Rocket Run!	♥ 1	Very good for your first time in the compo! Coins seem to be pretty random, so I always tried to avoid them. My best score: best_score.png
Dec 13 00:08:21	21h 46m	Eight More Drinks, Please	♥ 1	Fantastic idea, but gameplay is quite frustrating :( It gets very hard really quickly, I loved the game but only managed to get 5 points... To be constructive, I think it could be improved in two ways: 1. Left/Right arrow keys to balance trays might work relative to camera and not relative to character. 2. A few more drink drops (3 for example) might be allowed, and not game over at 1 drop. Anyway, graphics and sound are very good for the tight timetable of the compo. Well done!
Dec 25 04:00:39	291h 52m	Samurai Shaver	♥ 1	Very good entry! It's a funny concept and well implemented, everything feels really polished. Soundtrack is simply amazing. Congratulations!! Btw, our entry is also about body hair, but with a completely different approach ;) I bet you'd like to check it out!
Dec 25 17:31:24	13h 30m	Waltz	♥ 0	Very innovative concept, I don't remember any similar music games. Although a bit difficult for a non-musician, I've managed to solve it :D Minimalist style works pretty good and the whole game is short but enjoyable. A few more levels/songs would be nice now that we are not subject to the tight deadline of the jam.
Dec 25 17:49:21	17m 57s	Hasempfeffer	♥ 1	Simple yet fun mechanic, I enjoyed it. My best score: 13240
Dec 25 18:03:39	14m 18s	findMyself	♥ 0	I love the concept, and visual style is really good, it's a pity that you didn't have time to finish it. If you plan to keep working on it, a few sound effects would also be nice.
Dec 25 18:29:43	26m 04s	Stuck in Parallel	♥ 1	Great concept and level design. Controls feel a bit clumsy, but I managed to get through the 5 levels without many restarts. As some people already mentioned, it's easy to get stuck between walls in level 4. Anyway, I liked it and a few more levels would be superb!
Dec 25 19:52:24	1h 22m	Mallio Cart	♥ 1	Funny take on the theme :D It shows in a quite accurate manner the stress of Christmas shopping. Just a couple of thoughts: I would like the list to get ticked when I grab a product instead of remembering what I've already picked. Things get tricky especially when someone steals you an item. Also, some trolley crash-race mechanic would be extremely fun, but that seems to be a lot of work (and a lot of playtesting for a weekend). Anyway, well done!
Dec 26 03:55:22	8h 02m	A Platformer for Ants	♥ 1	A classic genre with an unusual feature. I liked it, it's a clever interpretation of the theme from a platformer point of view :) My time: 4.12
Dec 26 17:09:06	13h 13m	Life's A Glitch	♥ 1	Nice take on the theme! Music and visuals make up a great combination and contribute to create this unique "glitchy" feeling. I like it.
Dec 26 17:33:38	24m 32s	DO NOT FEED	♥ 1	Not bad for a few hours of work! I think this is a very original take on the theme, different from every other I've seen so far. With another couple of hours put on the background and dog sprites this could look really good. The other elements are pretty well made (pigeons, food and that sign that makes this game so funny and also so similar to real life situations 😂) Personally, I'm fine with games that don't have a win/lose condition. Indeed, I use to play many games like that, and I even made one for another jam. So that's not a problem for me.
Dec 26 21:09:12	3h 35m	Aatmo	♥ 1	I like very much the core idea of the game. We jammers should always be questioning the main ideas of mainstream video games, and that's exactly what you do here. You address the common gamer behavior that is to accumulate wealth and power without thinking about how it is obtained, and that's really interesting. Indeed, I experienced this issue on my own with some commercial games. Also, lovely visual design :) Congrats!
Dec 27 14:56:38	17h 47m	CalligraTree	♥ 0	I love this kind of games, and particularly this one is very well made. I would like the gameplay to be slower, though. You have to be pretty quick clicking branch points, or they'll disappear (at least playing with mouse, maybe on a touch device feels more natural). It could be a nice game to relax, but in the end it's kind of fast-paced gameplay. Anyway, it's a very good work and I enjoyed a lot :) I'm glad that you've made this wonderful piece, different from anything that we're used to. Congratulations!
Dec 27 15:17:59	21m 21s	Clicker Thingie	♥ 0	When I realized the slowly closing eye I felt that something was wrong... but kept on with my scale-farming loop. In the end, it was too late to fix my mistake. It makes me think about how a game's rules shape the player's behavior. Well done.
Dec 27 16:43:22	1h 25m	The More You Make	♥ 1	Awesome entry. I love the meta interpretation of the theme 😝 Probably the best one I've seen so far. Moreover, the game feels really nice to players, every game is simple, challenging, and more or less well balanced. You did a very impressive job. I played it with my brother, 3 rounds each game fighting for the best score, and we had tons of fun. Thank you for this game, mate ❤️
Dec 28 04:00:06	11h 16m	Be Yourself	♥ 0	Great entry! Gameplay is too fast for me, but the game's look & feel is really good. > The message in this little game is to always be ourselves, to not let society, opinions and judgements warp who we truly are ! That's fantastic. And it's implemented through gameplay in a very original way. The message in our game is pretty much the same, but applied to a concrete case ;) I bet you'd like it.
