Dec 6 16:10:41 Danmaku Burp ♥ 1 Lol, best I could do was 11000. The hand-drawn graphics and the home-made SFX were really funny. I like the concept but agree with @darkgrisen that the game could have been balanced better. Oh, and the player character can go off the screen sometimes. But overall well done!
Dec 7 18:01:59 25h 51m Pizza'Matic 5000 ♥ 1 GOTY, honestly. I love this game. From the grating Italianesque chiptune music to the killer animation when you throw a pizza out the window and hit a customer with it, it's perfectly goofy in every way. Only thing that could possibly be improved is the tutorialization or maybe labeling the sauce/shredder machines.
Dec 7 18:05:47 3m 48s LDAX: Ludum Dare Asset Exchange ♥ 2 What is going on in these comments? Anyway, cool game. I don't think I'm smart enough to figure out a strategy behind making Number Go Up faster, other than "buy buy buy, sell sell sell." Nice UI and the dynamically updating graphs are really cool. I've never seen anything like this done for LD before.
Dec 7 18:07:37 1m 50s All Day I Dream About Eyeballs ♥ 1 It's definitely a game, that's what it is, yup. Y'all know it's pretty easy if you just look at the bottom screen, but it's fun to try not to. The flattish shading and colors are really attractive and the barn is super cute. Sound effects A+
Dec 8 16:09:48 22h 02m Chick Magnet ♥ 1 Interesting concept, though your instructions made it sound overly complicated. The extent of the tutorialization in the game is just "bring eggs, put in here" which is perfect IMO. Everything else can be figured out through practice. With that said, I got 4 eggs to the magic lamp (why a magic lamp? lol) before I got pinned in a corner by a massive swarm of chicks. Kind of tedious but I enjoyed the unique concept.
Dec 8 16:21:38 11m 50s Metal Fear ♥ 1 Hey, congrats on your first game jam! You made it! I tested your OSX build and it seems to work fine. The only issue is the control key on the Mac keyboard is really awkward to reach under your left hand. As far as gameplay goes, it's an interesting concept, but I think you're aware it definitely needs visualized bullet trajectories in order to really work. And you're right, the music is really awful (in a good way).
Dec 8 16:33:46 12m 08s The Invasion of Terra ♥ 1 Wow, I'm terrible at this game! I got murdered by spiders like 5 times before I realized I could just jump over them. Maybe a reminder of controls (or writing them on the LD/itch pages) would be helpful. I like the premise a lot, and managing your inventory to change your speed is an effective game mechanic.
Dec 8 16:45:15 11m 29s Mo Money Mo Problems ♥ 1 This game is a nightmare on a touchpad but I still managed to get 12,795. When I find my mouse I'll definitely play this again. It's stylishly designed and the pace of the building chaos was perfect. My only criticism is that it can be hard to hit the coin bags' hit boxes. BTW, the macOS version worked just fine. EDIT: I came back with my mouse and had a lot more fun with it. AFAIK there isn't a way to exit the leaderboard or game over screens so you just have to force quit, lol. Anyway I loved the difficulty scaling and now I'm interested to see the math behind it. I wanted to take a hammer to the phone after playing for a while but I got a ridiculously high score: Screen Shot 2017-12-08 at 5.04.37 PM.png
Dec 8 16:54:15 9m 00s Dream Roamers ♥ 1 Wow, excellent jam game. It's well designed and has breadth and depth. It did remind me of Binding of Isaac at first but I learned I needed to conserve my ammo in order to survive. I need practice, though... the bomb guys get me every time. :'(
Dec 8 17:10:01 15m 46s Heavy Hearts ♥ 1 Very funny game. At first it reminded me of Balloon Fight with the floating controls and horizontal screen wrapping, but the gameplay is pretty unique. And of course the sound effects are totally hilarious and goofy. Music is pretty grating after a few minutes though. I think I broke my space bar.
Dec 8 17:42:36 32m 35s GLORIOUS INTERNET POINTS ♥ 1 Zooming out to hospital/meds is really cool UI. All the copywriting is absolutely hilarious too ("It's their fault they didn't read the privacy policy"). Somehow I managed to accrue negative followers and negative money so I started over and played through the way it's meant to be. I'm at 565,000 followers right now and I've unlocked everything. Who knew building the Linux kernel could be so dangerous? PS: HTML5 version doesn't work in Safari because Safari is greedy and wants .mp3 files (I had this same issue)
Dec 8 21:33:43 3h 51m Castle Diorama ♥ 2 Unique, succinct, and fun. I can definitely see this on mobile/tablet because of the way you can push, pull, and spin objects, especially with new levels. I definitely think you should keep developing it. Only bug I noticed was the HTML5 version in Safari for me has a crunchy green outline on some of the assets that spoils your beautiful artwork a bit. Not a big deal, I know HTML5 can be a pain. Nice job.
Dec 8 22:24:51 51m 08s Junk ♥ 1 Holy fudge, this is so cool. Asynchronous online multiplayer Tetris, with a well-written story about office workers to frame it within the theme. I love reading through your comments to try and understand how it works, too. I hope you keep working on it because I think if you made a web player version it could be a hit among the general public. As one criticism, I think the transparency on the ghost block should be reduced a lot too -- it was definitely tripping me up. But overall this is one of my favorites this LD.
Dec 10 01:25:35 27h 00m RE-SANTA ♥ 0 Super cute! I love the knitted Christmas sweater look. I'm definitely gonna take a closer look at it. ;) The gameplay is a bit rote but I can see where the player could come up with different strategies to reach the goal. I think my favorite part is all the flavor text.
Dec 10 04:50:23 3h 24m I took too many drugs ♥ 0 Crazy concept, I enjoyed watching a Twitch streamer play this one and almost puke, haha. I envy your talent with shaders, seriously. And the music is good too.
Dec 10 05:07:28 17m 05s Triage Towers ♥ 0 Best tutorialization of any game I've played this jam. So far I've made -$100,000, lol. This game looks and feels a lot like SimTower but I'm having a hard time gauging how many people are in my hospital vs. what I should build. And the constant murmuring sound is downright bizarre. But yeah, this game has tons of depth and replayablility which is amazing.
Dec 10 05:19:38 12m 10s unrogue ♥ 1 Really nice Pico-8 game, even though I'm extremely bad at it... Best I could do was about 110? It took me a few tries to understand all the stats but the strategy really opened up and I can see how smart this game really is. I like the simple sound design too. Great game!
Dec 10 05:25:26 5m 48s Extreme Whiski Slalom ♥ 1 LOL this game is kinda making me sick. I got 1200 on the beginner slope... WOO. The physics in this game are really funny and having a variety of ways to score makes it even better. If I could change one thing I'd make the left-right control less sensitive because I found myself turned around backwards a lot, and because of the player design and scale, I had a hard time telling which way was the front. Though that kinda makes sense considering the context of drunk skiing. Nice sound design too.
Dec 10 05:34:01 8m 35s Pennies Are Gold ♥ 0 Interesting game. The premise makes sense for the theme but the walking White House is really bizarre, lol. I played for a little while until it crashed (I'm not sure why) but here's my high score! 2017-12-10 00_32_43-Pennies Are Gold.png
Dec 10 05:39:01 5m 00s Bit Swapper ♥ 0 Love this concept and especially appreciate that you did a 2-player co-op game. You don't see a lot of those. It's pretty stylish too and all the objects contrast nicely.
Dec 10 05:46:18 7m 17s Exploding Golf, with Lovable Piggies ♥ 1 Oh my God, thank you so much for making a game that's beautiful, simple, and fun. There are so many games this LD that are so freakin' complicated it's taking me like 15 minutes just to learn the controls. But this... this is a thing of beauty. The rules and the controls are instantly intuitive and the difficulty scales perfectly. All I can say is thank you.
Dec 10 05:57:49 11m 31s The Star War 2: The quest for more money ♥ 1 This is the only compo game I've played where I had to stop and take a break from the game so I could catch my breath. I was laughing so hard the entire game. What a bizarre game. Duck Tales--I mean, Star War-- is a riveting adventure from beginning to end. Somehow it managed to have depth as a narrative while being absolutely stupid at the same time. Loved it.
Dec 10 18:00:40 12h 02m Too Many Rules! ♥ 0 Love the concept. Manic simulators are my favorite genre, if that's even a thing. Anyway I found the game was pretty hard to play because it would give me an "X" for things done correctly along with some other bugs I'm sure you're aware of. The music was well-suited, though, and feeds in to the frenzy of trying to hit the right button in time.
Dec 10 18:09:29 8m 49s Webshop Live CMS ♥ 0 Really unique concept and a clever execution, making it in HTML/JS. The UI is clear and the game's drag-and-drop functionality feels very nice. My favorite part is the flashing red screen when you lose. Best I could do was 3, though, as I couldn't really figure out how to get the cursors to click on Buy. Some better instructions might help other people learn how to play.
Dec 10 18:32:03 22m 34s Rabbit Farmer!!! ♥ 1 Probably the best execution of the theme I've seen so far. I think it's hilarious. I love chaotic management games like this and the idea of bunnies reproducing is such a perfect fit for it. I agree with the suggestions tobia88 offered, as I was having trouble getting enough funds so the "inherit 1/3 gold" was usually less than the starting $1200. Graphics and particles are very nice, along with the president's "BADABADABADABADA" sound effect.
Dec 10 18:48:17 16m 14s Hyper diapers ♥ 1 This is probably the most beautiful game I have played so far. It is incredibly stylishly designed and the UI makes total sense. One thing you might consider if you continue to work on the game is that the blue/red objects may not be accessible to a colorblind person. One of my favorite little details though is the way the high score is displayed on the wall. There's a lot of careful design decisions in this that I just love, like the exclamation points and ticking sound that play when a baby is in danger. I got to 14 babies -- the first time I was confused and thought I could open the doors somehow. Anyway, fabulous game.
Dec 10 18:53:32 5m 15s Get all the Wood ♥ 1 I love the message behind the game (I think you and I had fairly parallel concepts) and how players get to "experience" deforestation firsthand. I really appreciated the simple controls and the simple yet scenic landscape too. So many games this LD are overly complicated and this was a breath of fresh air.
