| Apr 24 19:44:36 | Manic Tower | ♥ 1 | Definitely an interesting idea! Shame the shields don't seem to work right. I like how on the bottom you show where the boss is as well so our eyes don't have to travel as much (I don't really play these kinds of games so I wouldn't really be sure if this is a common feature but I like it nonetheless). I wish firing would just be an automatic option since there is never a reason NOT to fire and constantly holding down a key to do it is just kind of uncomfortable. | |
| Apr 24 20:03:18 | 18m 42s | C://TEXTRIS.EXE | ♥ 3 | This is a great and innovative idea. The overall vibe is really good too.It feels a tad difficult, however, I could barely make any progress. |
| Apr 24 20:16:18 | 13m 00s | Farmer's Delight: A Twin-Stalk Shooter | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea. Harvesting plants felt a little awkward and the movement felt a bit weird but I think this has a lot of potential as a concept. |
| Apr 24 20:27:57 | 11m 39s | OPERATOR | ♥ 1 | I like the idea of controlling the turret via text, but didn't find much fun in it's usage. It's a good concept and I think you did a good job with the overall feel of the game and I'd love to see where you could take this idea given more time to work on it. |
| Apr 24 20:36:29 | 8m 32s | Peculiar Adventures of Dorothy Hops | ♥ 2 | Great game. Would be nice to have the controls feel a bit more comfortable and if there was a minimum jump height (so you don't tap jump too quickly and fall), but other than that I have no complaints. |
| Apr 24 20:55:24 | 18m 55s | Basketball Wars | ♥ 1 | Congratulations on finishing your first jam! Enemy spawning could use some work, they often seem to spawn right next to or even on top of me without giving me any time to react. The mouse movement also feels really weird and could be refined. It might also be a bit better in a third person/top down view so you can see all the enemies. |
| Apr 24 21:14:12 | 18m 48s | Rhythm Overdrive | ♥ 3 | Absolutely amazing. The graphics are great and it's got a great feel. I like the idea @Thygrrr about making the player shoot with the beat as well. My only (very small) complaint is that I cannot navigate menus with the controller ;P If you could check out [my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/ludum-dare-41-placeholder-1) too I'd appreciate it! |
| Apr 24 21:25:49 | 11m 37s | PlatSCII | ♥ 3 | Great concept! I feel like the controls could use a bit of work, like making it so you can't jump beyond the double jump (as it is now, you can just spam j/enter to jump forever) and would love to see some improvement on the movement commands so rather than just preset commands you can string together anything, like f+f+j+b+b+b or something like that. I can't believe you're all only in junior high! You have bright futures ahead of you. |
| Apr 24 23:10:51 | 1h 45m | 00Boyfriend - A Spy's Dating Sim | ♥ 2 | Great game, really enjoyed it. |
| Apr 24 23:47:23 | 36m 32s | Dungeon Scrawl | ♥ 0 | Super fun idea! Would be a bit nice to have music but I won't fault you for that ;p Would be a great way to teach kids to type in a fun way. |
| Apr 25 01:08:20 | 1h 20m | Blocks'N'Blaster | ♥ 1 | This is really cool, shame I'm already terrible at Tetris as-is. If you could check out [my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/ludum-dare-41-placeholder-1) I'd appreciate it! |
| Apr 25 01:19:49 | 11m 29s | Seaman Sleuth | ♥ 3 | The movement systems didn't feel great and had quite a few issues, but the writing was great and I like the concept as well. |
| Apr 26 00:57:50 | 23h 38m | Last Girl On Earth | ♥ 0 | This was a really cool idea and was done really well! |
| Apr 26 03:40:13 | 2h 42m | Kanye West's Kanye Quest: Penis Game 4 my Mom | ♥ 0 | nani the fuck did i just play |
| Apr 26 03:52:40 | 12m 27s | Bullet Hell Typing | ♥ 0 | Fun game, although the boss pattern was really easy. Didn't try difficulties higher than easy though so maybe more bosses spawn at once or the pattern changes? Overall a decent game though. |
| Apr 26 04:12:32 | 19m 52s | Jeff From Accounting | ♥ 0 | Absolutely amazing idea and game, executed really well. There does seem to be an issue with a hit sometimes not registering but other than that it's 5/5 all around. |
| Apr 26 20:47:28 | 16h 34m | Harvest Blood Moon | ♥ 1 | Really interesting idea! I've been super interested in deconstruction of what I call "slice of life" games (things like farming sims such as Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, and games like Animal Crossing and stuff as well) and I feel that games that do so could have a lot of potential. |
| Apr 26 21:44:25 | 56m 57s | Rainy Day | ♥ 0 | Sometimes my ball would randomly fall through even when there was no hole there. I'm also a bit confused on how this exactly fits the theme? It just seems like a generic maze puzzle, am I missing something? |
| Apr 27 02:34:14 | 4h 49m | Think Before Escape | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool idea, has a lot of potential. |
| Apr 27 02:35:53 | 1m 39s | Gnome Man's Land | ♥ 1 | I've always liked the idea of a reverse tower defense game. You should see about making this a multiplayer game with one person playing the gnome and one person handling the tower defense stuff. |
| Apr 27 23:46:12 | 21h 10m | The Heat Of Battle | ♥ 1 | Fantastic game and an interesting take on the theme! I can't believe this was only done in 72 hours! There were a couple bugs that required me to refresh the page but that might only be on the web version and since it continued where I left off it wasn't a big deal. My one complaint however would be an inability to advanced dialogue faster on our own, I got impatient just waiting for dialogue to finish, but besides that 5/5. |
| Apr 27 23:56:29 | 10m 17s | Puzzle Invasion! | ♥ 1 | I like the idea of an "anti-puzzle" where you have to prevent a puzzle from being completed, it's an interesting concept! I especially like how you made the menu interactive. I'd love to see where this concept could be taken with some more depth in the mechanics |
| Apr 28 00:01:43 | 5m 14s | Cropping Up | ♥ 2 | Cool idea! I like the idea of a tower defense game where your towers are also resources, the execution was pretty simple but with some more depth this could be a great game! |
| Apr 28 00:16:34 | 14m 51s | Diorama | ♥ 1 | This is a really awesome game, it could use some polish but the concept and existing gameplay are amazing and really fun! You should turn this into a full game with some tighter controls and possibly more of a goal. It could even have a nice co-op mode. |
| Apr 28 00:41:00 | 24m 26s | Type n' Jump | ♥ 2 | I love the concept, but I would love to see some more complexity in what's possible for commands, such as the ability to string together any amount of commands (or at least within a character/word limit) and implement delays and stuff, so like "LEFT 0.5SEC STOP RIGHT JUMP" for example. Some command shorthands might make it a bit easier as well, such as just L and R instead of LEFT and RIGHT. |
| Apr 28 01:49:37 | 1h 08m | Slime Garden | ♥ 0 | As far as the theme goes, I don't really think RPG aspects and Metroidvania aspects are necessarily incompatible (in fact Cave Story did it to an extent with the weapon leveling system). The combat could use a lot of work as "spam space 2 win" isn't really a fun system. I think if you polished up the controls and attacking it would definitely be a much better experience. That being said, the world seemed pretty vast and like there was a lot to explore so that's nice. |
| Apr 28 02:09:25 | 19m 48s | Wizsnooks | ♥ 4 | Fun idea, would make a nice mobile game I feel. |
| Apr 28 02:19:53 | 10m 28s | Cyclevania | ♥ 1 | The controls are a bit uncomfortable and it could use some variety but it's a neat concept that I'd love to see expanded upon! |
| Apr 28 02:26:29 | 6m 36s | Space Drifter TD | ♥ 1 | It's an interesting game but the ship feels too hard to control. Could be a good concept for a multiplayer game. |
| Apr 28 02:42:42 | 16m 13s | PizzaBrawl | ♥ 1 | The controls are pretty uncomfortable (controller support would have been appreciated) and it was a bit hard to remember the combos, but once I got it down it was pretty fun. I didn't like how I couldn't play in full screen without using alt+enter and how when I did it would take me out of full screen whenever a new game was started, but overall it's a fun game and a great concept. |
| Apr 28 02:52:24 | 9m 42s | Grid Gunner | ♥ 3 | Awesome game! The gameplay is super fun and I love the art. |
| Apr 28 03:00:54 | 8m 30s | Save Witch (Platformer + Puzzle) | ♥ 0 | Fun game and interesting concept! It would be nice if we could see what each action was though before we actually use it. |
| Apr 28 03:13:15 | 12m 21s | Hell's Kitchen | ♥ 1 | The controls need a lot of work to feel better and there isn't many instructions on what exactly to do for each meal which makes it a bit confusing, and the physics are pretty wonky sometimes as well. |
| Apr 28 03:25:23 | 12m 08s | Super Platformer RPG | ♥ 1 | It's a neat idea, but the RPG elements seem very basic. Psychic isn't really needed since all you can do is attack to begin with, so you won't need to think about using health items or defending, the only thing to do is to just use hit when you can and jump when you can't. Expand the RPG elements and maybe add a bit more nuance to the platforming and you could have a really great game. |
| Apr 28 03:34:07 | 8m 44s | Raucous Raccard | ♥ 1 | A card-game platformer, an interesting combination. I like the game and the concept, but it would be nice if there was either some more draw variety (I got stuck somewhere and had to wait for a jump or a leap to continue on, took way too long) or add in some kind of mulligan re-draw system, like Magic's (shuffle hand back into deck, draw a new hand with one less card). |
| Apr 28 03:41:26 | 7m 19s | Mayor Metal Man | ♥ 1 | Really interesting take on city building games, the implementation was a bit... buggy, but it's a great idea and the game was pretty fun. |
| Apr 28 03:49:17 | 7m 51s | CONFESSIONAL | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept and nice graphics! |
| Apr 28 19:05:05 | 15h 15m | Carmagotchi | ♥ 1 | Audio was great, added some nice humor to the game. I don't like the system of waiting between runs if you don't wanna pay for fuel, it makes playing the game take way too long. The gameplay itself also felt a bit too easy and repetitive, some variation and challenge would be appreciated. |
| Apr 28 19:13:20 | 8m 15s | fishing: into the abyss | ♥ 1 | Neat little game, I think if you expand the card game aspects and touch up the bullet hell stuff, it could be really great! |
| Apr 28 19:20:01 | 6m 41s | Witch's Escape | ♥ 2 | Fun idea, but I think it might be a bit better approached as a rhythm game, it didn't really feel puzzle-y to me. There's also no punishment for just spamming all the buttons repeatedly so that makes it fairly easy for anyone who chooses to do that. Graphics were great. |
| Apr 28 21:07:24 | 1h 47m | Blind Vision | ♥ 0 | Cool game, and great sound effects! Doesn't seem to fit the theme from what I can see, but fun nonetheless. |
| Apr 28 21:16:55 | 9m 31s | Love Is A Battlefield | ♥ 0 | Cool game, nice to see different takes on the same genre-combo! If you have the time, I'd appreciate it if you checked out [our game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/ludum-dare-41-placeholder-1) as well! |
| Apr 30 00:41:38 | 27h 24m | The forgotten jacket | ♥ 1 | The audio was really well done. The gameplay felt a bit slow/boring since it's basically just "wait, decide whether or not to press button, go through dialogue, wait again" so you could definitely improve a bit there. |
| Apr 30 01:00:09 | 18m 31s | Puttsy | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun game, cool idea. This could be a good mobile game. In the last few levels there seem to be parts where you can win the level just using the cannon, unsure if this was intentional or not but it made the last couple levels really easy. If you could take some time to check out [my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/ludum-dare-41-placeholder-1) as well I'd appreciate it! |
| Apr 30 01:14:26 | 14m 17s | Legend of Zoom | ♥ 0 | This was so strange and unexpected, I was scrolling down the LD main page and saw "Legend of Zoom" and just HAD to click on it. Game was really fun. |
| May 7 05:47:29 | 172h 33m | ACCIDENTAL EXISTENTIAL | ♥ 1 | The mood of this game (games?) was really weird, but in a good way. I like it. |
| May 7 05:53:50 | 6m 21s | Ultimate Hero Simulator | ♥ 1 | Art is great, and the idea is really interesting and executed pretty well. It could make for a good companion system in a fully fledged game, perhaps with a slower decline in needs. |
| May 7 06:20:13 | 26m 23s | Dungeon Solitaire | ♥ 1 | This is like a really interesting puzzle game, well done! |
