| Apr 26 20:55:06 | Hoop Tactics | ♥ 1 | Nice game! It's similar to my idea in many ways so I was very impressed that you managed to get a satisfying AI done for it. The animations and characters are great too. Though I understand that the control system faithfully references old tactical RPGs (and hence fits the theme perfectly), I would actually love to see you add a mouse control option too. | |
| Apr 26 21:06:44 | 11m 38s | SSSS | ♥ 0 | Loved the level of polish, especially the music. Found the gameplay really tough though. I'm struggling to see where the theme fits in. It seems like it's FTL with a different skin, which in itself is an awesome achievement for a weekend game jam and I'm in awe of what you achieved. But boats in space seems more like a natural fit for FTL's gameplay, rather than something that it should be incompatible with. |
| Apr 27 21:56:03 | 24h 49m | Last Stand. [Web Play] | ♥ 1 | Really nice idea, I had the same bug that some others reported but found the game really well planned and executed overall! |
| Apr 29 21:20:18 | 47h 24m | KEYBOARD WARRIOR | ♥ 0 | Kudos for doing this from scratch with no framework, I've done LD like that before and know it's a challenge! The gameplay was enjoyable. Actually it was super fun. But I felt limited by the lack of any kind of goal. Maps with objectives and limited ammo or something else to add some urgency would turn this from a fun experiment into a seriously good game. |
| Apr 29 21:24:38 | 4m 20s | Ascension | ♥ 1 | A bullet-hell God game sounds like a great way to ruin one of my favorite genres, but turns out to be a really cool Ludum Dare entry, well done! :) |
| May 8 07:27:29 | 202h 02m | City Blocks | ♥ 1 | I liked it, very challenging, great sound. |
| May 8 07:30:32 | 3m 03s | My Little Bug Town | ♥ 1 | Really enjoyed it, nice mood setting and cute graphics. |
| May 8 10:31:19 | 3h 00m | Strategia Soccer | ♥ 3 | Hey, we had similar ideas and I really liked your take on it, both in the style of the execution and the decision to have the turns play out the way they do. Awesome job! |
| May 8 10:45:10 | 13m 51s | A Tavern Life | ♥ 1 | This is an outstanding game jam entry! the 2D/3D mix is very hard to get right but very satisfying when it comes off. I'm always jealous of programmers who also know how to make stuff visually appealing. This would be well worth balancing and releasing as a full game. |
| May 8 11:47:40 | 1h 02m | Me da miedito la oscuridad (I get goosebumps in the dark) | ♥ 2 | Super fun and valid combination of genres, I like the idea of having both players responsible for different aspects of gameplay with different styles of gameplay it's very innovative. Sure, there are rhythm platformers but making a game that's both a rhythm game and a platform game is a unique twist. I'm going to come back and play this some more with a second person. |
| May 8 12:25:13 | 37m 33s | Intel Driver | ♥ 2 | Open world racing has never been so much fun... Seriously, this is more fun than GTA. Did you ever play an old PC game called Quarantine? It was more of a shooter but your premise reminded me of it, being about how quickly you could get from point to point in a city, running various missions and upgrading your taxi as you went. |
| May 8 13:24:31 | 59m 18s | Idle Escape Room | ♥ 1 | Best genre combination! Also a seriously good game, this is one of the best of the compo for me. |
| May 10 21:28:20 | 56h 03m | Deadliest Catch | ♥ 1 | Really enjoyed this one, first rate presentation and fun gameplay. |
| May 10 21:37:18 | 8m 58s | CACOGOTCHI | ♥ 0 | I enjoyed it and rated it, but I'm afraid it might be breaking the rules of the compo to use sprites directly from Doom rather than create your own versions within the 48 hours. |
| May 10 21:43:45 | 6m 27s | Hitler Groove | ♥ 0 | This is amazing. I work with a chap who's very closely associated with both wargaming maps, and DDR, and if you polish this game I would love to try to persuade him to review it on Twitch or Youtube. |
| May 11 10:23:35 | 12h 39m | Soccer Fight | ♥ 1 | So much mayhem, so much fun! |
| May 11 11:05:51 | 42m 16s | Don't Pet The Alien! | ♥ 0 | Really enjoyed this one, well done! |
| May 11 11:08:26 | 2m 35s | Mad King | ♥ 0 | Werewolves?! |
| May 11 11:10:03 | 1m 37s | Super Dashball | ♥ 1 | Terrific gameplay and great presentation, this was one of the best for me. |
| May 11 11:20:29 | 10m 26s | Type Dungeon | ♥ 0 | Wow that was hard but interesting. I completely get that it's difficult to balance games in 48 hours, I don't think I've ever made a balanced game even when given 18 months :) Great job getting this done for the compo! |
| May 11 11:29:04 | 8m 35s | CONFESSIONAL | ♥ 1 | Perhaps the most disturbing thing about this game is that towards the end I found myself believing the guy in the chair deserved it :) Great execution, pun intended. |
| May 11 11:54:05 | 25m 01s | Minigulf Gods | ♥ 3 | I love the idea and I had fun playing it. I found the controls difficult at first, especially the delay between holing down the mouse and dragging out the force/direction but once I got used to it it was a really enjoyable system. There was no sound for me, I guess you've fallen foul of the same Chrome update issue as I have. |
| May 11 12:11:01 | 16m 56s | Horrors of Stångby | ♥ 0 | I don't see what's funny here, I live in Skåne and this is precisely why I don't own a toaster. |
| May 11 12:31:46 | 20m 45s | Get Out Of My Dungeon | ♥ 0 | That was so much more fun than this idea has any right to be, one of my favorite of this LD, good job! |
| May 11 12:45:01 | 13m 15s | Missile Mayor | ♥ 1 | Great take on a classic game, the music is lovely and creates just the right mood. I hope you get enough ratings, I'm struggling with that myself right now. |
| May 11 14:19:00 | 1h 33m | Birth of a Man | ♥ 0 | A few thoughts on the gameplay: When things are fully upgraded you should probably not show the testicle clicking mini-game anymore otherwise it just becomes something you have to wait through in between days It's too easy to accidentally skip text at the start of the next day, or even select menu options by accident if you're still frantically clicking when the night ends. I also always ended up in the gym no matter what I did. Upgrades seemed not to affect the story gameplay at all, just like in real life. So I'm going to assume that this social commentary on masculinity is intentional. |
| May 11 14:30:36 | 11m 36s | Soccer for Strategy | ♥ 1 | I must be doing something wrong because I can't tackle at all. Kudos for making a turn based soccer game, I had a similar idea. And I will never do a sports game for Ludum Dare again!! Because people seem to be actively avoiding playing/rating them :( |
| May 11 15:05:03 | 34m 27s | Grid Gunner | ♥ 3 | Blimey this is terrific. Nice going guys! |
| May 11 15:45:28 | 40m 25s | LD #41 Entry - RED V S BLUE | ♥ 1 | Oh no, I was so turned off of the blue commander by his opinion on Watership Down - by far the best war novel about an improvised mission behind enemy lines. This is a gem among LD entries, one of my top picks from this event. Please please please post your source. I actually think I might be a requirement for the compo, and you'd be surprised how many of us would love to take a peek. At first I thought clicker + RTS was a natural combination that missed the point of the theme, but the twist absolutely nails it :) |
| May 11 15:54:25 | 8m 57s | Type n' Jump | ♥ 2 | This is pure class, I'm going to return to this. As others have said, one way to really push this game to the next level would be to throw in some non-obvious and maybe context sensitive commands that reward players for experimenting. |
| May 11 17:01:49 | 1h 07m | Scrabble Invader | ♥ 0 | Felt like there could have been some bugs with the movement controls but besides that, this was a very solid and well put together game, well done! The only suggestion I would make is to figure out a way that the controls could be a little bit more intuitive. |
| May 11 17:10:53 | 9m 04s | ASM Hell | ♥ 0 | This is beautiful in every sense of the word. Howww does a mortal manage to do this in 48 hours?!? Bloody well done. |
| May 11 18:30:06 | 1h 19m | Offbeat Soccer | ♥ 2 | Such a fun concept, this is so much better an idea that driving cars into balls ;) |
