| Apr 27 03:09:39 | Goodnight Meowmie | ♥ 3 | Whoa, I didn't expect your entry to be a horror game! My hair was on end during all the exploring parts, the ambiance definitely fit well. I liked that the first room locked the door and forced you to backtrack for a key, and then the footsteps! Also, that first eye monster + its loud sound got me good. I can't say that I liked the unsettling music outside of the room, but it was really well done. I guess in terms of stuff I encountered in my playthrough - it took me a while to realize at the very beginning that you were supposed to sleep in the bed to progress the night, and I also couldn't immediately see that there was space to walk around the first eye monster. Overall, good job. | |
| Apr 27 03:24:03 | 14m 24s | Tetris Escape 2D | ♥ 0 | This is pretty cool! I did find that the other tetris pieces behaved a bit strangely - it was kind of exploitable! I beat the game by kinda... bouncing my way to the pink block at the end instead of climbing legitimately hahah. I also didn't find the boss (but maybe because I skipped part of the climb on the final stage?) I like the title music - is the music original? |
| Apr 27 03:36:57 | 12m 54s | Elite Beat Zombygons | ♥ 2 | Ooh, this is pretty neat! I did find that you could double move sometimes on the beat. Really neat concept, I love rhythm games (my entry also is a rhythm game, but a reallly basic attempt at a bare bones rhythm game, first one I've made). Also, it congratulated me for dying! I found that pretty funny! :D |
| Apr 27 05:37:52 | 2h 00m | Rhythm Card Hero | ♥ 1 | This is a pretty cool concept! It's a little hard to tell on the spot what each card does, but I guess it comes with some practice. It would have been cool if there was music with the game, too - but I guess time is limited and it's hard to make music within the time limit. Good stuff! Also, thanks for commenting on my rhythm card game! :) |
| Apr 27 05:52:29 | 14m 37s | GHOST JOB | ♥ 1 | Hmm... this was an interesting idea, but I think it could use more polish. The sound effect for the "3" is really loud compared to the others, I'd suggest balancing it a little bit. Also, the spider is really hard to use properly. The music was pretty nice! |
| Apr 27 06:08:25 | 15m 56s | SoccerTurn | ♥ 1 | This is pretty cool! I just played it with @sayumeki. It's a little bit hard to get the ball around efficiently, but maybe I'm just bad at positioning players well for soccer. It also was a little frustrating that sometimes the player would move only a little bit, and other times they would move much further - you won't know how much you get for your move. The UI was also pretty clear - the camera centers on the player, and the player has an outline highlight, which is good. I really like the Ludum Dare 41 logo you put in the backwall of the stage! Very nice touch! |
| Apr 27 06:24:46 | 16m 21s | BEAT KILLER | ♥ 2 | Ooh, this is pretty cool! It was kind of hard to see which arrow was falling, since they fall all over the place, instead of consistently in the same area. Using rhythm to attack is a really cool concept, though! It could be even better with more music and different sound effects with the attacks. Either way, this was really fun to play! Check out my rhythm game if you have time - I made a simple [blackjack rhythm game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/blackjack-beats). |
| Apr 30 05:46:37 | 71h 21m | Divine Dungeoneering - A roguelite godgame | ♥ 0 | Hmm... interesting concept. The flavor text was a nice touch! |
| Apr 30 06:01:00 | 14m 23s | The Fishing | ♥ 2 | Whoa, this was pretty fun! I found 75/76 gems before I found the anchor, which ended my game. I might have spent too much time in the early area, the music just stopped before I got to the deeper part where the music was more horror-esque. It would have been cool to have the music transition as you go deeper and deeper, instead of having the horror music play for the rest of the game once you go deep once. Overall, this is a solid game! |
| Apr 30 06:15:27 | 14m 27s | Harvest Doom | ♥ 0 | Whoa, this is a really awesome concept! I'm not sure if I found a bug - I couldn't turn in some of the requests - it would show 0 of the vegetable even though I had 5. I had fun playing this though. I might try again to see if I can replicate the bug. Good work! Edit: I played through again and didn't run into the issue I had the first time - no idea why it didn't register some of the vegetables that time. This is a great game! I like the music and I noticed a bit more of the details in the art. I'd keep playing, but I gotta rate other games to try to get more attention to mine! |
| Apr 30 06:28:59 | 13m 32s | Shot Thru The Heart | ♥ 0 | Hahah this was pretty funny. The spotter kept yelling at me for wasting bullets during the "waste your bullets" phase. The mouse tracking was a bit weird for me, even though I went fullscreen mode, too. The music was nice and funky. |
| Apr 30 06:40:03 | 11m 04s | Daxua | ♥ 1 | Whoa, the art on this is really good! It took me a while to figure out how to do the combo, but the game played pretty well. The slow motion cutscenes were kind of fun to derp around during. |
| Apr 30 06:52:18 | 12m 15s | Modern Bowlfare | ♥ 0 | Hahahahah dude, this is awesome! I laughed so hard on the first grenade. It might be nice to have a trajectory guide or something for new players, some of the high shots were pretty difficult! |
| Apr 30 06:56:37 | 4m 19s | Fightin' Words - Real Typing Strategy | ♥ 0 | This is pretty neat! It's definitely a bit hard to control your troop well, and I had some trouble seeing what was going on - everything felt very zoomed out. Nice game though! |
| May 9 22:36:32 | 231h 39m | Cardbound | ♥ 1 | Ooh, this was pretty cool! It took me a while to figure out some of the puzzles, but I eventually beat all 3 stages. I liked how you get to pause to make your decision. It would've been nice if there was a way to zoom out to see more of the stage during the pause screen. If you have time, please check out my entry, I still need ratings! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/blackjack-beats |
| May 9 22:56:16 | 19m 44s | Cryptarch | ♥ 0 | The art is great! It took me a while to understand the battle system, and it seems like you're heavily incentivized to just use fight, and use the flashlight before the enemy hits you. The fights against the 8 hp spirits felt a bit tedious, I only deal 1 damage per success, whereas they do 3 when the choose to attack. Also, I didn't understand why sometimes it asks for a check during the fight, but other times it just lets me do the action without a check. I wish there was more, but I guess only so much content can be made during the timeline! |
| May 9 23:03:55 | 7m 39s | One More Arm | ♥ 0 | This is pretty cool! It took me a bit to figure out that you could hold space to hover - that made dodging some things much easier. Good music, too! I haven't gotten lucky enough to get a triple yet, it'd be nice if the chances of the triple enemies was higher. Overall, pretty creative take on the theme! |
| May 9 23:15:05 | 11m 10s | Star Battle Poker | ♥ 1 | Hahah man, this is so fun! The scaling of how much you get to do after you win seems a little bit high - almost any hand with betting could end up being overkill. The dialogue in between each battle was very funny! It also was very clear whose turn it is, and what your available actions are. Overall great job! |
| May 9 23:21:48 | 6m 43s | Helsing | ♥ 1 | Pretty good atmosphere! I found the game itself to be a little bit clunky though - I couldn't fire the gun, and instead it became an extra life if I got attacked, I guess. sometimes a wolf would just kill me out of nowhere! The footsteps in the audio is a nice touch. |
| May 9 23:28:34 | 6m 46s | Golf with Guns | ♥ 0 | Hahahahah yes! This is so funny! I think my only complaint is that if one of the two balls goes out of bounds, you have to restart with both, which was a bit frustrating. This is really fun though! |
| May 9 23:39:45 | 11m 11s | Shady Cards | ♥ 0 | Pretty interesting take on the theme! I liked that it feels a lot like video poker, but it took me a bit to figure out what was counted as a valid hand (it didn't accept single pair hands that I had, and two pair was indicated as "pair" sometimes?). The platform part felt a little bit too easy - I could just run to the right and spam cards to collect chips. Poker is where the fun is at! |
| May 9 23:50:19 | 10m 34s | Idle Shooter | ♥ 0 | Pretty good game! The game got so difficult it was unplayable - I needed more run speed, but the skull enemies would just chase me down and kill me before I could do anything. Maybe make the penalty for dying a bit less than losing all of your money, so players that didn't go a good tech route can still progress in the game. Otherwise, this was still overall pretty fun to play. |
| May 9 23:58:17 | 7m 58s | Beet Farmer | ♥ 1 | This is pretty cool, but I couldn't understand how to do a lot of the things. I was able to plant a few beets and get one, but I don't know where to turn in the beet. Edit: I booted it again and got audio to work! Not bad! I also figured out - you have to feed yourself by putting completed beets in the left, and pay more money by putting completed beets in the right. Interesting! |
| May 10 00:09:41 | 11m 24s | Super Ice-Cream Roller Ultra | ♥ 1 | Oh man, controlling the ice cream ball is pretty frustrating! The music and graphics are pretty nice though. And I really like the dying animation and splat whenever I fell off.. it made it a bit more funny whenever I died. Overall, I wish the controls were a bit more intuitive - I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to change directions. |
| May 10 00:15:34 | 5m 53s | Bang Bang Revolution | ♥ 1 | Simple, but fun! My best score was 9. It's a little harder to make sure I can aim well. I like the looping song you picked for this! I'm missing ratings on my entry still - please check out my simple [rhythm blackjack game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/blackjack-beats)! |
| May 10 00:28:37 | 13m 03s | Love Love! Space Attack | ♥ 0 | Hahah this is pretty fun! I couldn't get anywhere close to winning. The 4th stage (or when the dudes with the tentacles spawn) seemed to be where it got a bit too hard to dodge some bullet patterns. I liked that Ren Aishi's expression changes depending on your choice/when you get hit, that was a nice touch. The music was nice and peaceful. I think I'd want the dating sim questions to happen more often so it'd be easier to experience that aspect of the game more often. Overall good job! |
| May 10 00:41:50 | 13m 13s | Witch's Escape | ♥ 1 | Nice game! At first I thought the gameplay was easy because there was only one button, but the button combinations started coming and it got harder! I really like the art style for the characters, and the background and objects are all pretty detailed and well animated. Good work! Please check out [my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/blackjack-beats) if you have time - I still need ratings! |
| May 10 07:23:23 | 6h 41m | BlockTide | ♥ 0 | Ooh, this is pretty neat! I like that you can buy upgrades and earn money from killing the enemies. The artstyle and music are good, too! This could be pretty promising as a full game. [My game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/blackjack-beats) still needs more ratings, any chance you could try it out? |
| May 10 07:34:19 | 10m 56s | WITCHSΔVER | ♥ 1 | Whoa, this is pretty cool! The game freezes during the broom minigame, unfortunately! I like the music and the art and everything - it was a bit troublesome to get it to work as a screensaver - I'd definitely like it more as a normal game (but I guess that's to fit the theme). Good work! [My game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/blackjack-beats) still needs some ratings, please check it out if you have time! |
| May 14 06:11:19 | 94h 37m | Magneto De Liquidus | ♥ 0 | This is a pretty interesting concept, but the game is really difficult! I got as far as the "extreme" level, but it's a little too difficult. The first level itself took a long time for me to get. |
| May 14 06:19:16 | 7m 57s | NecroGolfer's Tomb | ♥ 0 | The graphics are pretty nice! Controls were kind of clunky, and it's a bit harder for someone like me who gets motion sick sometimes with first person controls. Concept is pretty innovative though! It'd be nice if there's a hole indicator - but the ball indicator is a good quality of life inclusion! |
| May 14 06:29:20 | 10m 04s | Heart of the Cards | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool concept! I can't play first person games for too long due to motion sickness, but I like the card aspect of it! I did find that just running past the enemies into the next room just spawned more enemies, and I ended up lagging out because of it - it might be good to put doors that lock until you kill all the enemies. Also, it's harder to aim without a crosshair - could be a good thing to include. |
| May 14 06:34:20 | 5m 00s | Super Soup Slicer | ♥ 0 | Not bad, solid game! I like the little bounce the vegetables have when you slice them, and the sound effects work pretty well. |
| May 14 06:39:27 | 5m 07s | SeaDogs | ♥ 0 | Not bad, but pretty difficult game. Sometimes too many chores spawn at the same time and I end up losing. The graphics are nice though. |
| May 14 06:43:30 | 4m 03s | Crazy Cube | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool concept! It's definitely hard to keep track of where the numbers are, but I liked that you had to shoot things with the right number to get them. |
| May 14 06:47:21 | 3m 51s | SURVABY | ♥ 1 | Hahahahahah this game is funny! |
| May 14 06:59:50 | 12m 29s | Proelium. | ♥ 3 | This is a pretty good game! The sound effects were crisp and satisfying, especially the sword swing! And the music and storytelling are great. I didn't discover the door past the boss during my first playthrough, had to reload to "beat" the game after. Good work! |
| May 14 07:09:29 | 9m 39s | Reverse | ♥ 0 | Graphics are really clean! I like the camera transition when you swap between the two characters. The level design and gameplay itself could use work, but I imagine this is only the start of the project. I look forward to what you have in store! |
| May 14 07:15:19 | 5m 50s | Numbness | ♥ 1 | Nice job - this was a pretty fun take on the theme! The zoom in effect with the princess crying at the end of each level was pretty amusing. |
