Apr 23 02:58:03 Card And Run ♥ 1 Love the strategy and the work in the pixel artistry, style is nice and cohesive. Could easily have this expanded into a weird deck building rogue-lite thing. Good execution on the core of an interesting idea. This what LD is all about baby
Apr 23 03:08:57 10m 54s Dance Duel Cowboy! ♥ 1 Super sexy game, great visuals all around and the music was on point. gameplay could be improved, I never learned the simple two key mapping; would have preferred every letter on the keyboard as long as they're also shown on the screen haha absolutely great work
Apr 23 03:10:21 1m 24s Geom ♥ 1 Both links broken sad to say, lmk if you fix it ✌️
Apr 23 03:16:29 6m 08s Caves Of Mimicry ♥ 2 Nice go at the theme, that's a whacky one haha; a little buggy but I definitely see what you're doin there homie Browser game too, nice job 😃
Apr 23 03:27:02 10m 33s Overcharged ♥ 1 Game got really fun when I figured out about the rocket jumping, I feel like it should have some sort of radial/explosion effect to let you know what's going on i like how it's broken up very different gameplay sequences but the map feels the same. rocket jumping around to move while fighting the flying enemies was super fun great job with this!
Apr 23 04:20:17 53m 15s Shot Thru The Heart ♥ 2 lol i'd rate it higher than a 5 in humor if I could- was surprised I enjoyed reading anything in a game this much. Best game writing 2018 feels like something from the newgrounds era 10/10
Apr 23 04:46:04 25m 47s Rhythmobots Defence ♥ 1 Hey sorry bout your tech difficulties, would be cool to have seen it in full multiplayer glory! I got a little over 7k but I kept on dying to random things I could not see- invisible bullets? but yeah I could totally see a rhythm shooter working out pretty well, seems like an exciting idea to me :)
Apr 23 04:55:43 9m 39s Dangerous Fields ♥ 2 This is great! Perfect execution on the theme for sure I think the health system is totally fine, could be cool to upgrade your watering can though for a lot of cash idk, felt a little shitty having everything get harder for your money all the time but I see what you're going for Concept was great and it's a very complete experience great job man oh yea sound is good too
Apr 23 05:12:19 16m 36s Rainy Night ♥ 1 Love it I actually got on the edge of my seat when it got going, was surprised at how engaging it was for it's simplicity. Mood is definitely on point- i personally got some nausea / vertigo with the rain and car moving so much but it wasn't really a bad thing lol
Apr 23 05:27:12 14m 53s The Magical Caster Card Gun ♥ 0 I liked the card mechanics, especially in pvp or in a solo game like dishonored or something ui for cards and deck building was awesome almost gave up on the first level until i realized you could shoot the capsules to remove them and you shouldn't touch the capsules cause they can kill you. bonus points for having a game called "the magic gun" as well lol
Apr 23 05:38:04 10m 52s Escape ♥ 1 found myself accidentally entering a lot of passcodes because I didn't know what the doors were when I pressed e- could be nice to have option to back out Great art and aethstetic especially for the timeframe this is great
Apr 23 06:00:38 22m 34s Match 'n Slash ♥ 1 Super impressive bunch of systems and stuff for such a short period; animations are on point really wish i was smart enough to build that rocket XD gg
Apr 23 06:06:37 5m 59s Augmented Reality Virtual Pet Stealth - Browser Playable ♥ 2 honestly this is how I play with my dog normally this is beautiful well done, one thing was that in webgl/chrome it kept resetting my view to the start direction i think? but yea fyi
Apr 23 06:14:00 7m 23s Astral Fantasy ♥ 1 This is incredible! the concept is well executed, haven't seen anything like it before and I think I'm going to keep it as a reference for retro graphical fidelity it looks perfect. really just kinda angry at how good this is oh it did take me a few minutes to leave the first planet because I didn't realize you could click/drag to look around the system. so yea
Apr 23 07:13:01 59m 01s Platform Of Love ♥ 1 I've been laughing out loud for like ten minutes playing this thing the writing is great and there's so much character i love it
Apr 23 07:30:03 17m 02s Golf N' Grenades ♥ 2 Hot damn there went a 1/2 hour of my life. was kinda mad at how terrible the controls were for aiming and stuff, but it really is part of the charm trying so hard to do a simple thing while being pestered by zombies, it honestly gave me more realistic golf emotions than most golf games really love it
Apr 23 07:56:37 26m 34s Papa Mazai ♥ 1 This is insanely complicated but I love eating the cats
Apr 23 15:09:22 7h 12m Obaké ♥ 0 ah good point blubberquark the dark backgrounds lets you differentiate I was surprised at how playable this it, was hard in a very enjoyable, novel way
Apr 23 15:27:45 18m 23s Apocalypse Tycoon ♥ 1 Was funny trying to pick up one gun that I wanted and all five of my people would shuffle around their weapons trying to make it happen a lot of clever stuff going on in this game nice work
Apr 23 15:38:41 10m 56s Forest Grow ♥ 0 i think the hitboxes are a tiny bit off on the trees nice job on the modeling and land
Apr 23 17:54:16 2h 15m Rythm is Lava ♥ 1 Wow that is so hard to wrap my head around but nice job one thing i thought was kinda annoying is that once you beat a level and then accidentally step back then you have to restart the whole previous level
Apr 23 17:57:50 3m 34s Vector Rabbits Slayer ♥ 2 That pixel art is fking awesome!
Apr 23 18:31:43 33m 53s Skies and Cubes ♥ 2 ah shoot I got lost in the 3d area and then pressed Q (or something)? and it quitted on me I honestly cracked up at the graphics / animations they are bad in a great way if it's not offensive to say 😆 the core idea of translating the same character from 2d to 3d as a core part of a single game is interesting too nice LD Entry!
Apr 23 18:48:28 16m 45s Toodee and Topdee ♥ 1 Yeah, okay, this is the coolest thing I've seen on here So many novel game strategy decisions, you get to be the platformer's guardian angel when you freeze time and move the platform for him The art, fx, audio, theme, everything is just on point. didn't see ANY bugs either. great job guys
Apr 23 22:49:53 4h 01m Grid Gunner ♥ 3 idk I think I DID have fun hugging the bullets idk about u Great work here, I'm not a big fan of bullet hell games, but this was a much more fun take on them for me :) art and everything looks really cohesive this is awesome
Apr 24 00:13:53 1h 24m Underground - Battle Royale ♥ 1 ​Lol took me a few tries, but I beat it I like the agar.io style minimal control scheme too didn't understand what was happneing with the weapon qualities for a while mainly because the weapons are the same color on the ground looks really nice and was fun :) great entry fellas
Apr 24 00:26:28 12m 35s Slide or Die ♥ 1 Five stars all categories from me! Love the concept, i think my favorite part about this theme has been all the novel gaming challenges that the games have presented me, this is definitely one of the best in that regard: SUPER unique challenge here. Love the game, so here's some of my thoughts on improving it: Maybe both views could have the other view overlayed or blended in at all times, that might make the jump between them less disorienting. Maybe show the player view direction in the overhead view so you have an idea of where you're going to be looking when you switch. Really weird how the base of the movement vector sticks to the map rather than the view, would be good to have it move with the camera. Arts great, concepts great, execution is great. Super ambitious project for the time frame yall nailed it oh shit i didn't realize there was slow motion one sec
Apr 24 00:46:04 19m 36s Hot Meals ♥ 1 Love how all the cars handle! I started with the VW and then moved onto the blue jalopy thing and was blown away at the difference in experience. Love rolling the cars, idk how you made that so satisfying Didn't really understand what was going on with the food side of things, but as a racing game this thing stands on it's own Love that style of split screen view too I gotta figure out how to do that Great work guys I love this
Apr 24 00:59:13 13m 09s Don't Stop For No'Fin ♥ 0 lol holy shit i was using the arrow keys for the longest time and switching hands away from my mouse in order to jump. WASD. Got it. makes sense. 😆 Graphics are stunning, great color scheme and pixel art! didn't even notice you were using the cool water effect for a long time, kudos for subtlety Gameplay is really exciting, would be cool to see a bit more instant reaction from your guy when you try moving in a direction, it feels pretty unresponsive. maybe just a little animation queue that he's started trying to move in the direction? Great job Aseprite FTW
Apr 24 02:31:47 1h 32m Railgear ♥ 1 It's like papers please for the the subway. I love that the end goal is a plane ticket to hawaii the camera work and gameplay loop are super polished I'm glad it let me go in reverse and drop everyone off at the wrong station lol
Apr 24 02:34:22 2m 35s Stealth and Seed ♥ 0 ur build is busted you gotta send the whole folder with dll and build_data 👍
Apr 24 02:43:40 9m 18s Wordelicious ♥ 1 This is amazing! The control scheme of having the left and right arrows turned the keyboard experience into a typewriter experience; so damn cool one bug is that if you miss and hit a numpad key itll type out "numpad 0" instead of "0" and you have to backspace it all
Apr 24 02:58:02 14m 22s Gun Appetit! ♥ 2 Masterpiece on the main character's pixel art hahaha Love the balance of making a nice meal while being pursued by zombies It says good job but then I don't get any bullets from making a recipe Game controls and single click ingredient steps like in "Cook Serve Delicious" could make this super fun as well Great entry fellas
Apr 24 05:56:47 2h 58m Lucky Towers! ♥ 1 WOW that UI design. Animations for everything are so juicy and the art looks great tho tbh to echo what's been said, kinda really really really wanted to skip the slots animation haha 10/10 can't believe this was done in 3 days
Apr 24 06:09:13 12m 26s Reverse ♥ 1 love the 3d assets music made me feel like a spy or something lol
Apr 24 06:22:07 12m 54s Tetrikaruga ♥ 1 *Innovative* *Great Music* 1090 high score. Really like being able to move pieces up and down at will too, really different experience from regular tetris it's cool
Apr 25 19:05:46 36h 43m Shutin ♥ 1 Holy crap this is great. mood's perfect and really captures the experience of day to day life when you're living alone. reminded me of when i was living alone for a while in college
Apr 26 01:15:03 6h 09m Rhythm Quest ♥ 1 That was great! Once I understood the context of attacking and defending the different sections of play got way more engaging and intense. during a boss battle when you only have one life left it gets really intense and exciting all very well executed, good music, art and game feel
Apr 26 18:41:19 17h 26m Hadecken ♥ 2 Wow this is brilliant, the only thing I don't understand is why / how the ai can use shield to block my attacks, I always think I'm going to land one of the big five step cooldown ones and then they block ti This is just so crazy polished and satisfying great job
Apr 27 18:20:44 23h 39m Boxing Surgery Simulator 2000 ♥ 2 lol this is so gross but I love it, I tried like six times but I couldn't win; still don't know what the scalpel is for
Apr 28 16:27:02 22h 06m Dark Soil ♥ 5 God damn it I just have a problem this game is incredible, I already love playing it I can't wait to see a final product Untitled.png
May 10 03:57:10 275h 30m Witch's Escape ♥ 1 got pretty fun when there were multiple buttons you needed to press, I like the art, I only played like twice cause the intro was so slow and boring, would be cool to skip or have the option to do it faster
May 12 20:48:05 64h 50m Fish tank Royale ♥ 1 ye art + audio are great verys satisfying to place stuff but the game seems boring or like I'm missing something on how to play it
May 16 04:26:02 79h 37m DUNK EM UP! ♥ 1 CONGRATS MAN WELL EARNED! Game's fun!
