| Apr 23 10:29:21 | Papa Mazai | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept, allthough there is a lot of reading going on (multiple times) before understanding what the goal of the game is, good job though ! :) | |
| Apr 23 10:31:55 | 2m 34s | The Cavern of Bad Ideas | ♥ 0 | Completed ! Incredibly comprehensive for a 48 hour game ! Well done :) |
| Apr 23 10:36:19 | 4m 24s | OLEK | ♥ 1 | Great game ! Really enjoye it, I love the "time management" needed to hit enemies. Hope it gets updated further ! |
| Apr 23 10:46:51 | 10m 32s | Forest Grow | ♥ 1 | Nice game ! I love the style and it is very Zen ! :) |
| Apr 23 11:44:44 | 57m 53s | Putt-Kill | ♥ 1 | Great concept ! I agree that adding sound would add more depth. |
| Apr 23 12:50:44 | 1h 06m | Neon Space | ♥ 1 | Really cool game ! Well done, brownie points for sticking with LibGDX and java ! :) Background music could further improve the hype. |
| Apr 23 12:53:28 | 2m 44s | Stealth Casual Farming Simulator | ♥ 2 | Fun concept ! :) The wolf panic really gets to you ! I've seen this on stream and just had to try it for myself as well ;) Great stuff ! |
| Apr 23 13:18:41 | 25m 13s | SAVE THE TURK | ♥ 0 | Great stuff :) Simple but efficient and totally makes the two chosen genres work together ! |
| Apr 23 13:28:19 | 9m 38s | Beat Quest | ♥ 1 | Really nice audio work, there is a slight "hiccup" after each note, but really enjoyable. Nice job and definitely a novel way to manage combat in an RPG ! :) |
| Apr 23 13:31:23 | 3m 04s | Plenty of Fish | ♥ 0 | I liked this game :) Funny, simple and fitting for the theme and honestly the first (and probably only) dating sim entry I found enjoyable, well done ! |
| Apr 23 13:33:39 | 2m 16s | Roguespector | ♥ 1 | Really nice puzzle concept, entertaining and challenging. Thank you for the game :) |
| Apr 23 13:35:44 | 2m 05s | A Daily Struggle | ♥ 1 | Very nice game. Thank you for giving people a glampse of how a depression can crawl up and control your every move, making it nearly impossible to function. But rest assured, it is something that can be beaten, speaking from experience. |
| Apr 23 15:00:27 | 1h 24m | Devil's Doll | ♥ 1 | Really hard game, perhaps a bit too unforgiven after the first stage. It honestly felt impossible pretty fast ! NONETHELESS awesome concept. The audio really is settinh the athmosphere and I love your atari graphics. |
| Apr 23 15:01:40 | 1m 13s | Pill-Boy's Text Adventure Platformer | ♥ 0 | Nice concept, I see this being able to be combined with a typeracer style game. Well done ! :) |
| Apr 23 15:06:28 | 4m 48s | Tales from Avanor | ♥ 0 | Really nice concept, I love the book pixel art. |
| Apr 23 15:23:58 | 17m 30s | Bunny Derps | ♥ 1 | Nice game, incredible content for a 48 hour game. Maybe add a nice tutorial to your game page? |
| Apr 23 15:27:53 | 3m 55s | Nubes Pila | ♥ 1 | I like this game, it feels like the genres should be mixed together as it makes perfect sense. I love the controls, they are not too sluggish and are spot on for this type of game. I know this is just a jam game but after fixing up the bugs (see @frostdragonliz ' comment) you could easily fit an entire RP story around this battle system ! |
| Apr 23 15:46:42 | 18m 49s | Captain Bauldy's Fun House | ♥ 0 | Really nice game, the combination of a silent hill - esque athmosphere with the sudden children's puzzle is hilarious. I kept expecting a jump scare till the end ! Well done. The movement could be made a bit faster as trying to find the next solution was a bit tedious. Also, the camera was able to clip through some walls (which is offcourse fine for a jam game !). Well done, well made ! :) |
| Apr 23 17:39:08 | 1h 52m | Dyeswap | ♥ 1 | Really nice game ! I love it, has very portal-esque vibes. Well done ! :) |
| Apr 23 20:30:33 | 2h 51m | RUN JUMP TYPE | ♥ 0 | Really nice game, well done. I like how responsive it is ! Perhaps a more difficult game mode would be one where pressing enter erases the command box ;). Great stuff ! |
| Apr 23 21:57:31 | 1h 26m | Crux Swarm | ♥ 1 | Really fun game, interesting concept and amazing art ! Really enjoying the visuals :) Keeping this one on my list, thank you |
| Apr 23 22:16:18 | 18m 47s | Type Fighter: Turbo | ♥ 1 | Amazing style and interesting game ! I can easily see this becoming a networked game (the same vein as TypeRacer), good stuff ! :) |
| Apr 24 19:09:30 | 20h 53m | Cat Kingdom Defence | ♥ 1 | As per usual you amaze me sir ... This is awesome XD Bit heavy at times but overall I loved it ! |
| Apr 24 23:37:04 | 4h 27m | Escape_ | ♥ 1 | Oh my... James' gone done it again ! Great Jobs all around, you really should do an epic rif as your Twitch follow alert from now on. Aside from that, the game is really fun and enjoyable, one of the better jam games I have come across today :) Thank you ! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/bumper-buddies |
| Apr 25 07:25:51 | 7h 48m | Escape | ♥ 1 | Great job on the graphics and the audio, nostalgia city right there ! I really like the first few rooms as you nicely "force" the player to use and learn the mechanics (for example looking up to see the passcode). Had a lot of fun, keeping this on my list! |
| Apr 25 07:44:42 | 18m 51s | A Carpenter's Tale | ♥ 2 | Awesome game, incredible graphics for a jam game. Highly entertained, thank you for the submission ! :) |
| Apr 25 12:31:05 | 4h 46m | Farm Punch | ♥ 1 | Nice game, really enjoyed it :) The worm is oficially my worst enemy now >-< |
| Apr 25 12:35:37 | 4m 32s | Dancemazing | ♥ 1 | This...is...brilliant... AND catchy :D Maybe some extra feedback on the dancing part could make it more obvious, but this is after all a jam game ! Thank you :) |
| Apr 25 13:20:25 | 44m 48s | Sneaky Beats | ♥ 1 | I would just summarize all of this in "GREAT JOB !". I hope to hear more from guitar-hero James in future streams ;) But really enjoyable level design, hard but not impossible, the way we all like it ! :) |
| Apr 25 14:01:33 | 41m 08s | Voodoom | ♥ 0 | Really nice concept, especially for being a jam entry ! People often forget how much time it takes to make a game feel "right" and I believe you're pretty close :) Well done ! |
| Apr 25 14:17:24 | 15m 51s | A Skeleton Story - Ludum Dare 41 | ♥ 1 | Really nice game entry. It arguably is a bit short, but people shouldn't forget this is a jam entry ! I say you did very well and I hope to see more of your work in the future ! Well done ! :) |
| Apr 25 19:42:38 | 5h 25m | Match Shooter | ♥ 0 | Really nice combination, feels natural playing it. Very well done ! |
| Apr 26 19:35:37 | 23h 52m | Recipe for Disaster | ♥ 1 | This is a really fun entry, thank you for the submission. I had a blast trying to get the tomato sauce in place while doing an unprecedented 720 backflip sidescrew fly trick :D Also, one of the best fitting songs you could possibly have used ;) |
| May 16 12:52:28 | 473h 16m | Are You Smarter Than An Alien? | ♥ 0 | First off, congratulations with your entry. I didn't have the pleasure to spot your game on the featured list during my voting sessions (probably due to the "vote-reward" mechanics), so I had not played it till last night. It's unbelievable you managed to do this in the little time we had available ! I myself dared to go for a compo submission, and I have to say I was rather unprepared. After reading the rules and worrying about them, I figured it would be incredibly hard, but definitely possible should I give up my health and my wellbeing... So I did it. In the end I got put on the place I expected to land for a first timer. However I cannot deny the voting system has left a serious bitter taste. In the end, I am seriously doubting if it was worth sacrificing the entire weekend... I hope I'm not breaking an illusion here, the game jam is not about winning or losing, but fairness and respect is definitely not reflected as it should be. As I was to deduct from the results, this voting quotum is not representative to anything at all. It would only work in the case where the law of big numbers applies where "friendly" scores (by lack of better terms as "pitty scores" sounds a bit harsh) are balanced to the average or median, which here clearly is not the case, making all the rankings utterly meaningless. I can only make the suggestion to upgrade the voting system from its current state to include a peer reviewed rating with a predefined panel of non-participating "experts". Their votes could be weighted in with the "public/popular" votes. Referees could for example be found on Twitch, as several developers have already picked up playing ludum dare entries live on stream. Giving out an official state of LD Referee would not only reward their initiatives, it would avoid particular situations where conflict arises due to a non-discriminating form of voting. Furthermore, there already is a mention for streamers on the LD page, so I assume it is not a big overhead to implement this. Offcourse this would imply more work, but I am confident that it is possible and will only benefit the quality of our developer lives. So in the end and hopefully contributing with some value to the discussion... Congratulations to you AND to everyone else that has submitted an entry! We have all finished a game and we all sacrificied something, be it in different proportions. But keep in the back of your minds, the rankings are statistically meaningless and even worse, they are plain wrong. Until next edition (should the rating system be updated) ! |
