| Dec 5 04:31:29 | The Lost City of Bhalrim | ♥ 3 | Great game, I loved the music and the graphics. It really made my want to keep picking at it until I was able to make it in. I got to the door once with 38 gold, curses, but I did finally make it! | |
| Dec 5 04:40:40 | 9m 11s | Potion Commotion | ♥ 1 | Fun little game. The camera was a bit frustrating with controller. Also, the art style made some of the jump look a bit weird, it was really nice looking though! |
| Dec 5 04:57:15 | 16m 35s | Power Surge | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun game, though I found it a bit easy. It'd be nice if the play field changed a bit or the monster AI changed. Frantically trying to aim and get good position provides a great feel though! |
| Dec 5 05:05:38 | 8m 23s | Novabytes | ♥ 0 | Really nice looking game, though it seemed the graphics didn't compliment the gameplay. The lose condition was also a bit hard to understand. |
| Dec 5 05:14:42 | 9m 04s | The Coffee Quest | ♥ 2 | It was really fun once I understood the gameplay. A bit more warning on when you're going to get fired would be nice though! |
| Dec 5 05:26:42 | 12m 00s | Lava Lamp Factory | ♥ 1 | The game was a bit abstract, and the movement of the little guys was often frustrating. When I first tried to play, I built a factory before a resource in, and the game seemed to bug out, with the little guys not moving at all. |
| Dec 5 05:33:57 | 7m 15s | Cursed | ♥ 4 | Beautiful game, the graphics were wonderful and the sounds were really fun! The movement and jumps felt a bit awkward though. Not the bit with the gems hindering movement, I just didn't feel like I *knew* where my feet were a lot of the time and it made the platforming a bit awkward. |
| Dec 5 05:38:15 | 4m 18s | Snowballing Out of Control! | ♥ 1 | The game was really fun! I wish there was a harder mode where you could go for longer, and that the track was wider! |
| Dec 5 05:45:18 | 7m 03s | Coffee Run | ♥ 1 | The start of this was really slow, but once you got a few cups of coffee it picked up to a reasonable pace. It's a fun challenge trying to get as much coffee as possible while still being safe at night! |
| Dec 5 05:57:40 | 12m 22s | Toxic Towers | ♥ 2 | Incredible game for the jam. I've got to be honest, I struggled through there, it got really hard, but it was really fun the whole time. The platforming was really really fun! |
| Dec 5 06:08:01 | 10m 21s | GrowboRally | ♥ 2 | Really really interesting game, but it seemed like you had to play way too conservatively to stay alive. My high score was 20k, but that was with a very unlucky draw of all 'move forward' cards. I'd definitely see something like this as a fun casual game if it was a bit fairer in that regard |
| Dec 5 06:29:35 | 21m 34s | Phrygian Fantasy | ♥ 1 | Looking at the pictures, the first thing I thought was "Oh yeah, give me this game!". Definitely the most incredible game the Ludum for me. The camera was a bit jumpy, but that didn't detract from the game one bit. The mood and the art were so perfect. The way the theme was the main mechanic of the puzzle was great. I love puzzle-adventure games. The end was so perfect. I absolutely loved it! |
| Dec 5 07:22:24 | 52m 49s | ClickerVillage | ♥ 3 | Funny, and decent art. Did not think I would still be playing. Really creative interpretation of the theme and good 'story'! |
| Dec 5 07:44:58 | 22m 34s | Moses truck | ♥ 1 | The game looked nice, but all you could do was click yes and watch. |
| Dec 5 07:50:51 | 5m 53s | IDEA! | ♥ 2 | I found it kind of hard to enjoy. It was impossible to dodge all of the objects and I wasn't able to find a way to survive the glitch world other than luck. |
| Dec 5 07:57:02 | 6m 11s | Delta Vee | ♥ 0 | Decently fun. The steering was really floaty, so it was hard to score high. My high score was a 7. |
| Dec 5 08:05:46 | 8m 44s | Busy Room | ♥ 2 | Really really fun game, probably the best arcade-style game I've seen this LD. I absolutely love the simple color pallet and the sort of like, wholeness of the game. It all fits together and it doesn't really need anything else. It get monstrously hard fast too, but it's still all based in skill. Great game! |
| Dec 5 08:25:42 | 19m 56s | Room Shuffle | ♥ 0 | Really really awesome game. I love these, for lack of a better term for the small scale, puzzle adventure games. The art style, while really weird, fit really well. I really did enjoy myself through it. The start menu was really confusing, and the "radioactive pill" almost made me think my game was bugged. |
| Dec 5 08:30:36 | 4m 54s | DUTAZEM | ♥ 0 | The game seems to be bugged for me. I just spin in a circle with a whirlwind of dogs. |
| Dec 5 08:33:20 | 2m 44s | Kittie Reaper: A Depressed Cat Tale | ♥ 0 | I was unable to get the game to load on itch.io |
| Dec 5 08:39:01 | 5m 41s | Crashball | ♥ 1 | It was pretty fun just watching the interactions with the balls, but I didn't understand the scoring system very well. Where are the time penalties coming from? The game was not too simply, just hard to understand. My high score was 249. |
| Dec 5 08:52:13 | 13m 12s | Skulls n' Ladders | ♥ 0 | I made it to the top! Score of 16300, killed most of the skulls past level 4. It was a really fun arcade style game, my only qualm is the music. A 2 bar loop that ends with a strong cadence like that really wears on the ears. Aside from that, great game! |
| Dec 5 17:53:03 | 9h 00m | Hellrena | ♥ 0 | The concept was really fun, I felt like I was doing good right until the end, where I trapped myself. I did find a bug myself, I got knocked back out of the playfield and could not get back in. Other than that, it makes for a really fun concept. If the bugs were cleaned up, it could make a really fun little timewaster, trying to kill the enemies in the best way to ensure your survival! |
| Dec 5 18:53:37 | 1h 00m | Pickup Chicks | ♥ 1 | Fun little game, I enjoyed the frantic gameplay and the challenge of getting to the correct chicks. The only issues I have with it are that sometimes it's hard to get it to pick up a chick, and sometimes I got stuck on a bunch of chicks and couldn't move. High score of 63 :D |
| Dec 6 01:16:09 | 6h 22m | Rancharoo | ♥ 2 | Fun little game! I found it kinda annoying the way it jumped to another pack when yours died or something, so I didn't push too much past that. I also noticed when I just had one little guy, it was hard to get new guys to follow you. |
| Dec 6 01:38:19 | 22m 10s | Vroom Vroom Kaboom | ♥ 1 | Really sad there were only five levels! After figuring out the way it works, I was really enjoying the challenge. What everyone else has said about the front of the car is kinda an issue, but I just 'played' the level once to check, it wasn't a big deal. |
| Dec 6 01:56:36 | 18m 17s | Peregrine | ♥ 1 | Really fun gameplay, it seemed really hard until I realized there was a double jump. A few comments about the music: piano playing scales and small patterns in no real tempo really hurt my ears after a while. |
| Dec 6 02:06:20 | 9m 44s | Identity | ♥ 1 | The game looked really beautiful and the music was nice. The mood was set really well. Sadly, I was unable to enter the third world! |
| Dec 6 02:30:21 | 24m 01s | Green Chefs and Pancakes | ♥ 1 | When I saw the second picture on your page, I laughed out loud! Great gameplay. I actually loved the graphical style, simple and it makes it really really clear what's happening. Try as I might have, I only ever got to three. I got close to four a few times, but some crazy thing happened every time. This would be a great casual game on a phone! |
| Dec 6 02:43:33 | 13m 12s | NeonTropics | ♥ 1 | Really fun little game! I definitely seen the similarities with The Legend of Zelda. Were the flying enemies inspired by peahats? Perhaps some inspiration from octoroks and moblins too? The only issue I had was the feel of the knockback - it's too harsh and disorienting snapping back, and the hitbox for your swing felt hard to judge. Other than that, great game! |
| Dec 6 03:08:21 | 24m 48s | ... | ♥ 0 | The game was fun, but the jumps were made hard in a bad way by the perspective. I couldn't really tell how far platforms were very well. |
| Dec 6 03:50:31 | 42m 10s | The Shadow From Below | ♥ 1 | Definitely one of the best games I played this LD, really easy to get into it. My best score was only $900 though, it was hard to get more! The graphics were a bit abrasive and the UI was a bit unintuitive, but it didn't hurt my enjoyment of it once I understood it. |
| Dec 6 04:02:08 | 11m 37s | Ricochet | ♥ 0 | The game was fun for a bit, and the world looked really great, but after a while I noticed that the best play is to just sit in a corner. I got up to 63000 that way before the game crashed. I thought that the knockback felt a bit jumpy at times with the camera. Definitely a great concept and a nice looking game though! |
| Dec 6 04:16:40 | 14m 32s | A Boy and His Card | ♥ 1 | The gameplay was really repetitive, but the concept is so funny and the pixel art is really nice! The music really completed the mood too. I also tried the 'stack as much debt as possible' once, and I can confirm you can just keep going like that ad infinitum! |
| Dec 6 04:33:47 | 17m 07s | Super Trader 64 | ♥ 3 | The rate of progression seemed a bit slow, but I loved the art style and mood of the thing. It really reminded me of N64 games, so I'd say your goal was a real success there. I was really impressed with the little world too. The whole thing was really nice! |
| Dec 6 05:10:40 | 36m 53s | Waiter, Please! | ♥ 1 | Jesus, that ending. I really enjoyed the gameplay, I found the simplicity really fun. It was something you could really feel yourself getting better at, but you still made mistakes when you got good. I could see more complexity being gradually added to it, but for the but you had here, I'd say it was perfect. For the theme, I really love these games that take on a real world case of it. |
| Dec 6 05:26:26 | 15m 46s | Life & Debt: A Real Life Simulator | ♥ 2 | Interesting take on the theme, but I'm not really much into idle games. I think the random penalties fall a bit too strong to make it an enticing idle game. Also, please opt out of audio if you didn't make any yourself. |
| Dec 6 05:37:14 | 10m 48s | Coin Racer | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept, and nice graphics, but the idea of losing all coins on touching a wall in what seems to be a fast paced racer with worsening controls make it kind of hard to really enjoy. Also, it was really buggy for me. Sometimes the turn buttons would switch, and on the hourglass track, going too fast over the jump could clip you out of bounds. Good luck patching it up! |
| Dec 6 05:51:52 | 14m 38s | Cursed Knight | ♥ 1 | Great little game. The actual pixel style was great. It really felt like something from the 8-bit era! The combat fit that too even. I do wish the enemies got knocked back though. I think that would make it a bit more playable. The difficulty was nice, but some of the slime fights on small platforms seemed pretty impossible. |
| Dec 6 06:15:15 | 23m 23s | Trail Of Gold: Incredibly Heavy Load of The Cursed Bloody Metal | ♥ 1 | Really great game, the difficulty was on point, the 'dlc' was great. I agree, get judged in humor, it deserves it! |
| Dec 6 06:47:46 | 32m 31s | Crate Expectations | ♥ 0 | Awesome game, really fun! My first try was horrid, but I was surprised how nicely it flowed once I got a rhythm going. Eventually, I succumbed to getting stuck on things. Perhaps my organization could have been better, but it would be nice to not get stuck on crates. Great game! |
| Dec 6 08:33:48 | 1h 46m | Aliens Want To Probe My A*us | ♥ 0 | The setting had potential, but the game didn't work. I was unable to get damaged. Nazi zombies clones are always fun, but I felt the way they blocked you in at the door, with the amount you had to reload, kind of hurt that. |
| Dec 6 08:52:40 | 18m 52s | Mini Mod | ♥ 0 | The game was beautiful, and the world seemed well designed. I really enjoyed my time going through it. The only trouble I had was that when you were standing on the ground pressing into a wall, you'd walljump instead of normal jump. It kinda messed up some of my platforming. |
| Dec 6 09:09:57 | 17m 17s | Save Your Gold | ♥ 2 | Pretty much the same concept as my game! More gold = more monsters! The game feels great with one exception, I dislike the attack controls. I have a lot of trouble getting a good attack off, so the levels where you're required to kill a lot of things are a bit annoying. Otherwise a really good game! |
| Dec 6 22:45:42 | 13h 35m | The escape of the red panda | ♥ 1 | Really tight controls! I thought you fell a bit fast when letting go of space, it was really hard to control the height of your jump. I loved the art style as well. I wish there was a bit more complexity as you progressed through the waves, it got a bit stale after a bit. Really nice game though! |
| Dec 6 23:02:10 | 16m 28s | Hell Venture Tycoon | ♥ 1 | Nice little clicker, but once I got the crystal building, it seemed like it took too long to get the 250 souls required. Is there a better way than manually dropping each one? |
| Dec 6 23:15:12 | 13m 02s | The lost strawberry | ♥ 1 | It looked really great, and it was fun when I could tell what was going on, but I found the art style too ambiguous for this sort of gameplay. The small palette doesn't really work with doing both artistic details and functional game elements. It could use another color, or less things that are just for show. |
| Dec 6 23:29:57 | 14m 45s | Catastrophic Cities | ♥ 2 | The game was interesting, but became easy far too quickly for me. I got a feel for how much I needed to invest to wipe out disasters, and my approval and income just kept going up. I stuck at 100% for a while before quitting. If there were harder things to take care of later, or more unpredictable situations, it'd be interesting! |
| Dec 6 23:55:10 | 25m 13s | A Hero's Burden | ♥ 1 | The game seemed interesting visually and it's pretty impressive, but the story didn't really draw me in. The narration felt long and drawn out, but didn't really convey much of a story. The player already knows what to expect in a 'hero's story.' |
| Dec 7 00:09:50 | 14m 40s | Triage Towers | ♥ 0 | I wasn't able to get any buildings past the initial tutorial ones after I built out the first building. Perhaps a bit more explanation is in order? |
