| Dec 4 12:21:42 | Jonathan The Sorcerer | ♥ 1 | The graphics are quite nice, and the wind sound adds to the atmosphere. Puzzle games are my thing and this one is really well done. The rewind mechanic is great, and the controls are very simple. Nice entry! | |
| Dec 4 15:00:23 | 2h 38m | Cute Cats Daily | ♥ 0 | Wow there is quite a lot going on here for a 48 hour game. It gets pretty hectic as cats get dropped off one after another. I got a Harvest Moon kind of feel while playing it and that's a good thing. In real life for me though, one cat is plenty. Nice job. |
| Dec 4 17:58:56 | 2h 58m | Tic-Tac-Matrix | ♥ 1 | Good visuals and effects give this game a polished feel.It has a Nintendo look to it, and I have a soft spot for math games and puzzles. Congratulations on a nicely done educational game. |
| Dec 4 18:12:16 | 13m 20s | Puzzle Progress Prototype | ♥ 1 | It took me a bit to figure out what was going on even after reading the instructions, but that might be because of the placeholder artwork. To be honest, I didn't like the blue blocks since I never knew which direction they were moving in. There were several times I had to eat a few turns waiting for a blue block to get out of the way. I think perhaps having them move in a predictable manner would both increase the fun of the game and also allow for a repeatable optimal solution rather than relying on random chance. This is a good start for a mobile puzzle game. |
| Dec 4 18:17:29 | 5m 13s | Webshop Live CMS | ♥ 0 | I loved the cat pic element, but I wasn't able to get anyone to click on the Buy button. I tried deleting stuff by dragging it off the page but I guess that wasn't allowed? A very interesting idee. The little pointers moving about the page was a neat way to visualize visitors. That in and of itself could be improved to make something really cool. Nice work. |
| Dec 4 18:37:00 | 19m 31s | Rocket Boom | ♥ 1 | A very simple and fun concept. Perfect for a Ludum Dare compo. After I died on a level I expected to restart on the same level. Instead it started me all the way over and that made me sad. Some rocket and explosion sounds would also add a lot. |
| Dec 5 14:57:31 | 20h 20m | Statues | ♥ 2 | More of an experience than a game, but I really liked it. The ominous music and giving the player the job of pressing the spacebar which in the end is the king's undoing is well done. |
| Dec 5 15:10:59 | 13m 28s | The Burdened Raid | ♥ 0 | Woah talk about old school. Great premise. I enjoyed it quite a lot. |
| Dec 5 15:23:09 | 12m 10s | Tillage Fever | ♥ 2 | The first few times I tried I didn't get it and lost, but I quickly figured it out and was on my way to farming for fun and profit. I like the feel and the look of the game, and found myself actually enjoying the clicking to plant/unplant the tiles. Props for using an early v3.0 build of the GoDot Engine. That was my plan as well, but I'm a newbie to GoDot and decided to go with what I know instead. Nice job. |
| Dec 5 15:41:43 | 18m 34s | Smack`Em! | ♥ 1 | That sure is a mouse clicking work-out. The look of the game is great and I like the old CRT scanline look of it. I do wish there was a bit more clear feedback when the game is over. I kept clicking until I realized nothing was happening. The audio fits the goofiness of the little moles too. Nice job |
| Dec 5 15:48:32 | 6m 49s | Get Out - LD40 | ♥ 2 | It's a neat little puzzle game. The graphics and sound are quite well done and props for using the GoDot engine. |
| Dec 5 18:35:14 | 2h 46m | The lost strawberry | ♥ 1 | This game reminds me of Celeste. I did have a hard time figuring out about the ropes. I wish it would the things that kill you and the things you can climb/stand on would be a bit more obvious. It was hit or miss for me, and it took me several tires to get past the little chasm on the first level even when I'd figured out the vines. That said, the game does have a lot of personality and the pixelated graphics do work very well aside from my issues above. The sound and music is great. This is a difficult (as I'm sure you meant it to be) but rewarding platformer that really gives you a sense of accomplishment when you make it past a particulary devious screen. Nice job. Oh... I just realized you can change the color palette. Now I must go back and replay it again :) |
| Dec 5 18:45:05 | 9m 51s | Slightly annoying traffic | ♥ 2 | Who needs traffic lights? This starts off at a very liesurely pace (perhaps a bit too slow) and gets more frantic as time goes on. Then you start looking at possible collisions saying "Yeah, I think they should just barely miss each other." That's when it gets fun. Actually, when cars start hitting each other it is quite fun just to let everything erupt into collision chaos and watch the beautiful scene that occurs. The graphics are nice and simple yet nice which is what you want for a 48 hour game. |
| Dec 5 18:48:10 | 3m 05s | Cardhoard | ♥ 2 | It is sort of a reverse tetris thing which is different. The controls did feel a bit unresponsive at times, but the jump-stomping on boxes was quite satisfying. |
| Dec 5 18:56:27 | 8m 17s | ... | ♥ 1 | Being a mother hen is some work, but getting to throw your babies around is a lot of fun. I liked how you transitioned levels with the sinking and emerging animation. Very nice. I had a lot of trouble with the ramp on that second level but I finally got it. Mother hens tend to slide more than I thought they would. Thanks for putting it out in html5 format. **FYI:** I played it in Firefox Quantum and it was buttery smooth. |
| Dec 5 19:03:39 | 7m 12s | Too Many Chooks | ♥ 1 | I fried so many eggs just now... I Love the chicken sounds and the chickens themselves are great. |
| Dec 5 19:31:03 | 27m 24s | Mortal Komba | ♥ 1 | One wasn't too bad, but then when the second one came in, I had trouble keeping up. Cute game. The artwork is really well done! |
| Dec 5 19:34:46 | 3m 43s | Holiday Parking Panic! | ♥ 0 | This one actually made me smile. A very funny take on the holiday parking craziness. Well done! |
| Dec 5 19:38:25 | 3m 39s | Infectious Void | ♥ 1 | The music sets the mood very nicely and I, like so many others, love the art style. |
| Dec 8 00:51:06 | 53h 12m | Be Yourself | ♥ 1 | A neat idea executed well with polish. I really enjoyed the feel of the user interface elements. My only suggestion would be to add some squish and bounce to the slimes when they hit you along with some slime particles. That would take it to the next level I thing. It is really well done. |
| Dec 8 00:55:54 | 4m 48s | Dense Revolve | ♥ 2 | I love the "prepare" whisper sound at the beginning. Very cool. |
| Dec 8 01:00:17 | 4m 23s | Mushroom Délicieux | ♥ 1 | The game is quite attractive even for a low res game. Nice job on the graphics |
| Dec 8 13:26:19 | 12h 26m | Captain Capsize | ♥ 1 | I like the grab mechanics, but the game was pretty hard. Making a version of this for VR would be a great fit it think. This is one of the nicest looking and most polished games I've played so far 👍 |
| Dec 8 18:11:27 | 4h 45m | All Day I Dream About Eyeballs | ♥ 1 | Very innovative take on the theme. I want more levels! |
| Dec 8 18:19:30 | 8m 03s | Dangle Copter | ♥ 0 | The cave graphics could be a little sharper in a few places, but the little guys and the helicopter look great. Plus the snapping of the little guys when you hover down and grab them feels good. Teh audio is also minimal but quite good. Especially the snapping sound. Excellent job! |
| Dec 8 22:42:23 | 4h 22m | Get to the CHOPPA! | ♥ 2 | The Nicholasses are a bunch of babies. They kept running away from me. Hilarious game. Love the sounds. |
| Dec 9 12:00:48 | 13h 18m | Irwin McSpenders | ♥ 1 | I tried to run away from the agents but to no avail. They collected both my taxes, and my life. Still, I'd be happy to work anywhere that money is let on the floor. Nice Blender work on the 3D charaters. |
| Dec 9 12:09:39 | 8m 51s | POKED - be social | ♥ 2 | I liked this quite a bit. The phone look was well done, and goodness there were so many different characters to interact with. I didn't know dogs and plants had phones too. What's the deal with the cactus wanting so much water, and can't mom get her own drink? lol A very neat idea and a really good take on the them. |
| Dec 11 01:33:00 | 37h 23m | WizCorp | ♥ 1 | I like the little sprite animations and the way the upgrade menus pull out. Although there is no win condition, I find myself compelled to produce more coin. Nicely done. |
| Dec 12 20:21:33 | 42h 48m | Splotch 2 | ♥ 2 | This is an excellent minimalist physics puzzle game. There is polish everywhere and the line drawing mechanic is a pleasure to use although I did get into a bit of trouble when 2 line endpoints were close to each other. Having it automatically save your best solution for each level is a nice touch. Great job. |
