| Dec 3 21:04:15 | Wall Run | ♥ 1 | Well, for 11 years old, this is pretty impressive. However, I think you should've made the intro sequence skippable,Game Over sequence is too long. And the controls are a little janky, when the player rotates, the controls became VERY funky. The camera is also a little weird, it's not awful, its just, kinda strange. Overall, this game does have its problems, but it still is a game. I'm sorry for the negative review, but I the game just isn't MY cup of tea. Anyway, keep making games and, more importantly, keep learning. | |
| Dec 3 21:07:57 | 3m 42s | The Invasion of Robots | ♥ 1 | Impressive, if a little basic |
| Dec 3 21:49:52 | 41m 55s | Spin Attack | ♥ 1 | This game is really good. The puzzles are perfect. The controls are (Mostly) great and there is a good amount of play time. Overall, good job. |
| Dec 3 22:18:46 | 28m 54s | Slightly annoying traffic | ♥ 6 | Very enjoyable to play. Watching the cars crash into each other is SO satisfying for some reason. |
| Dec 3 23:07:21 | 48m 35s | Voiid | ♥ 2 | It's not very common to find a 3D Platformer online, and this game utilizes the jam's theme VERY well. The only downsides are that you can't go up/down slopes and the audio can get very irritating to listen to. All in all, this is a pretty good entry. |
| Dec 4 03:19:24 | 4h 12m | Legend of Crystalia | ♥ 1 | I like this game's visuals and music. But for me, these controls just don't feel right. I wish you could also use W, A, S and D to move alongside the arrow keys. Also, it is WAY too easy to fall off, at least for me. And the last stage feels cheap, the enemies can kill you FAR too easily. Besides those cons that I have, this game is still pretty good |
| Dec 4 04:02:07 | 42m 43s | Shooter Guy | ♥ 0 | This gave me a good laugh, even though I think it's for the wrong reasons. The enemy AI is very basic; just turning around and shooting at you occasionally. But, eh, it's okay. |
| Dec 4 04:19:18 | 17m 11s | Mr. Capital! | ♥ 1 | This game utilizes the theme in a VERY clever way. However, the trial and error that you have to go through in the later stages is a little tedious. Other than that. The game is pretty good! |
| Dec 4 04:44:53 | 25m 35s | Snake Charmer | ♥ 0 | Like the person above said, the idea of using the Snake format for this jam is very clever, and the snake itself looks good from an artistic point of view. The only issue with this game is that the controls are slightly janky. There have been several occasions where I press a button and the snake doesn't move in the direction I want it to. Overall, considering how much you had to strip down, I'd say that this is pretty good. |
| Dec 4 06:07:44 | 1h 22m | Dangle Copter | ♥ 1 | The main 'gimmick' of this game is good, having to rescue people after a helicopter crash. The art is also okay. But while this gimmick is pretty good, it's also very bad. I pretty much gave up on the final 2 stages thanks to the people CONSTANTLY falling off of my helicopter. Also, by the way, the controls (as you should know) are also part of the gimmick in this game. In the end, the game is okay. |
| Dec 5 01:47:08 | 19h 39m | Caffeinated Alien | ♥ 2 | This game is pretty great! The art is excellent (even surpassing MY game), The health risks of caffeine is a perfect fit for the theme, and the sound effect are awesome (even if I sometimes mistook a bullet hitting a tree or something like that for attacking an enemy/getting hit). And I like the fact that you have to SHOOT the chests open instead of just, 'opening' it yourself. However, I feel that you move WAY too fast when you collect coffee, it's like Dave is on a sugar rush when he drinks coffee. The music is okay, I would probably say that it sounds better than my game's music. The turret-like enemies are a little annoying, what with shooting at you and everything. One last thing, my final score was 1485. Overall, really good. Maybe even BETTER than my game! Good job :D |
| Dec 5 08:20:30 | 6h 33m | Coffee Run | ♥ 1 | The game looks great. The animations are well synced to the movement,the audio is okay and the cell shading is a nice touch. However, I don't think you should just 'stop' if you collect too many water bottles, and the game is a little laggy on my computer, it's even worse in night mode. Nonetheless its pretty good. |
| Dec 5 08:57:28 | 36m 58s | Overkiller | ♥ 1 | I like the art, the barrels and the music. But I don't like how you HAVE to traverse bullet heaven to survive. Regardless, good game. And the farthest I got was wave 6. |
| Dec 6 00:23:03 | 15h 25m | Splotch 2 | ♥ 1 | Might not be the game for me, but good job Sebastian! |
| Dec 7 05:14:52 | 28h 51m | Claustrophobia | ♥ 2 | Good job! This game can be a little disorienting at first, but other that that the game is pretty great with the music, the transition between areas and the levels themselves. overall, good game! |
| Dec 7 06:00:08 | 45m 16s | Super Wall Paint! | ♥ 1 | An basic concept for a game, but it's done pretty well. The music and graphics are basic yet excellent. However, I didn't like the controls. I just find them too floaty. But I seriously HATE the fact that, if you make one little mistake, you are sent right back to the beginning, making it IMPOSSIBLE to learn from your mistakes. Besides that. Nice effort |
| Dec 7 08:09:24 | 2h 09m | Astray | ♥ 0 | This game is okay. Nice temperature and inventory mechanics. But this unnamed omnipotent being supposedly threatens you by making your life a "living hell", but never actually does so, just summoning a harmless earthquake, technically meaning that this game doesn't go under the theme. Just making the player temperature go crazy would be a good enough fit. Also, the ending sequence was a little anti-climactic, just fading away to the title screen, like dying. Now you might not have had much time left, which would make sense. But if you did, what gives? I'll admit that with my game, I submitted it 5 HOURS before the deadline, and I did NOTHING to the game during those 5 hours, and I regret not doing anything to it. I apologize for the negative review, like I said in the beginning, this game is okay. |
| Dec 11 08:51:08 | 96h 41m | Nanonator | ♥ 1 | Amazing game! Sorry that Ludum Dare 40 was such a horrendous experience :( But at least the game was great. The game looks nice (if a little creepy at first glance), the controls are tight, the gameplay is very enjoyable and the music is awesome! You all even took the effort to make an intro sequence. All in all, this has been probably my favorite Ludum Dare 40 game so far! One last note, my score was 730 |
| Dec 12 05:10:49 | 20h 19m | Gold Taxi | ♥ 1 | Nice game. The graphics are pretty good and the controls are okay. But, I don't like how this game is devoid of audio, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that time constraints were what caused this. Also, I feel that the timer should increase when you get to DIZ, specifically by the amount of seconds that passed. Other than all that, this is pretty great! |
| Dec 12 05:31:10 | 20m 21s | I'm not here | ♥ 1 | Excellent stealth game! The graphics are simplistic yet great, the sound mechanic is both well implemented and a great challenge aspect, the sound effects are silly and the controls are perfect, though I prefer WASD. My only complaints are that the music is a little unnerving , it is somewhat easy to get cornered by guards, especially when you have more coins, and that the game is a little short. I would probably say that this is my 2nd favorite Ludum Dare 40 game thus far. Very solid entry, great job! :D |
| Dec 15 03:13:28 | 69h 42m | Theme - The Game | ♥ 2 | Short but silly, even if it's a little TOO short, and not THAT silly. But eh, this was your first entry so I'm okay with it |
| Dec 25 10:31:08 | 247h 17m | Maze Trudger! | ♥ 1 | Neat game. The art is pretty good, the voice clips are silly and flares are a nice addition. But, *sigh*.. now for the not so good parts.. The maze is VERY big, and a lot of it is just dead ends. The enemies can DESTROY you thanks to not being able to see what's ahead, even with flares, sometimes you can just 'pass' through enemies, health packs and flares for some reason. And (this is just my opinion) I'm not too fond of the tile-based controls. But hey, this is just your first Ludum Dare (this is also MY first Ludum Dare, and my game has IT'S problems as well), and for your first Ludum Dare, a decent entry (ignoring the not so good stuff, that is). |
| Dec 25 21:13:00 | 10h 41m | Finally done :D | ♥ 1 | The jumping is interesting, you can only move in one direction while moving, or else you'll stop mid air (on the X axis) and, if you mash the A/D button, you can 'glide' around. And because of these controls, some of the level design is unfair. I've also made a video of me beating the game with all 1000 points! (even if I exploit the glide bug, also sorry that it isn't on YouTube, I don't wanna make a social media account considering all the controversy these days) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gaYdGBrOioiIcXgFGbJovacAVMdDTRSC/view?usp=sharing For your first LD jam, it's a decent submission. Congrats for getting past 30 ratings! And, just an sorta unrelated question:I checked one of your blog posts and saw some text in a foreign language. What is it? |
