| Apr 23 14:44:28 | Dear Clicker | ♥ 0 | I laughed out loud when I saw the paperclips... Wow, this was a great entry: the first I've tested - so you've set the bar verrrry high! Also, I want to make that recipe from the poem. | |
| Apr 23 14:57:09 | 12m 41s | Platform Of Love | ♥ 1 | Perfect graphics: that's the best dressed pixel I've ever seen. There was no theme song, so I sung my own ditty in my head as I played. No more Mr Sad Platform for me! |
| Apr 23 15:01:10 | 4m 01s | The Magic Shotgun Coloring Book | ♥ 0 | Noooooo - I need a Linux build! Though, I'm terrible at coloring in the lines, so I'd probably be rubbish at it. That theme song - put it on soundcloud because it is stuck in my head now. |
| Apr 23 15:11:16 | 10m 06s | Card And Run | ♥ 1 | I liked it: I'm not familiar with the "gard game" genre - I feel like this is the perfect introduction, because I'm very familiar with infinite runners. The randomness of the cards annoyed me at first, but you can be a bit strategic by looking ahead, so when I lost I blamed the RNG and when I did something cool I attributed it to my skill! |
| Apr 23 15:20:18 | 9m 02s | Dangerous Fields | ♥ 2 | I'm no botanist, but I'm not sure that's how gardening works. It looks fantastic - any chance for a Linux or Mac build?! |
| Apr 23 15:34:07 | 13m 49s | Erglow | ♥ 1 | That's it. I'm not rating any more games, this is the winner. No point everyone - this is the winner. I love the Jet Set Willy graphics and the amazing theme tune. I will now go to hatless exile a happy man. |
| Apr 23 15:51:05 | 16m 58s | ASM Hell | ♥ 0 | "Unknown command 'mov'" pffft ;) I'm a sucker for anything that has a faux language in it! My only complaint is I'd have preferred some blippy sound effects to the Math.random piano. |
| Apr 23 16:08:13 | 17m 08s | Red Shirt Engineer | ♥ 1 | "Once viewing the engineering panel, everything is fairly self-explanatory." lol, classic gamedev quote ;) It took me a while to figure out what was going on (and I can read electrical diagrams... I just didn't understand what the goal was) but when I understood the point it was good fun - the pop up dialogs could get a bit annoying when trying to wire things, but other than that I think this was great: really worth fleshing out! |
| Apr 23 16:32:53 | 24m 40s | Hungry Hungry Shippos | ♥ 1 | Multiplayer! Multiplayer! That's a great take on the .io games - I think it would be an awesome multiplayer game for sure. it took me a while to get used of the controls, but after I got it it was fine. I didn't even mind the music loop: reminded me of the original "heart beat" sound of Asteroids. |
| Apr 23 16:38:31 | 5m 38s | Rapid Bullet-Hell Blitz Chess | ♥ 1 | Great entry - very polished and instantly playable! I had to take a phone call, and didn't realize I'd started a new game. The mouse sitting on it's own on the edge of the screen got further than I could when I was trying my hardest! (I got a higher score though ;) ) |
| Apr 23 16:46:55 | 8m 24s | Fishy | ♥ 1 | I really really really liked this entry. Running python from the web repl reminds me of the old "type in a million pages of BASIC from a magazine" days. Seeing the fishing game right next to the actual code is so cool - that's how I learned to code in the olden days! Also, I sold a swordfish for $1000 so what's not to like? |
| Apr 23 18:11:52 | 1h 24m | Space Chess | ♥ 1 | Very polished! I agree with ironygames comment: the aesthetics are really spot-on. Well done. |
| Apr 23 18:19:51 | 7m 59s | Alchemist Adventure | ♥ 0 | Excellent work... engrossing - I didn't realize how long I'd been playing it! And I really love the sound effects - they're spot on! |
| Apr 23 18:22:46 | 2m 55s | Datesweeper | ♥ 1 | Yeah, I loved the music - it was perfect. I learned somethin' about life too. What more could you want from an LD entry? |
| Apr 24 12:38:15 | 18h 15m | Age of Spires IV (Text/Console + RTS) | ♥ 1 | I really loved this game, and the interface is fantastic! It's a great idea AND I think the LD crowd would be into it - but it would have a much lower barrier to entry if you could get this on the web somehow. I don't know if it's possible, but via web assembly, or something. Anyway, really cool entry - I just wish there were more people around! |
| Apr 24 12:43:06 | 4m 51s | PlatyPad | ♥ 2 | Ha ha! Why did you even think of this?! It's brilliant! How many WPM can you do? I'm up to 1. |
| Apr 24 13:01:48 | 18m 42s | Tiny Crusader | ♥ 1 | Perfect LD entry! Easy to learn, great fun. I think if you could introduce one other element or mechanic that would give it a bit more depth (force some more interesting choices) then this could be a great mobile game. Really cool! |
| Apr 24 13:04:05 | 2m 17s | Rhythm Rogue | ♥ 0 | The source code looks like it's Unity - any chance of a linux or mac build? I really want to test it out! |
| Apr 24 13:09:57 | 5m 52s | Age of Football Clubs | ♥ 1 | ha ha! Brilliant! Frustrating at first until you get the controls. It's a great concept - with some polishing and balancing this game could be really cool. |
| Apr 24 14:15:59 | 1h 06m | Frogs vs. Cats | ♥ 1 | Ha ha! Great idea - it was a bit confusing for me because the first door I came to was "UP" and it says the joke about hurting your eyes - but just thought the doors were not usable! Figured it out after that though. Raining cats was my favourite bit. I'm glad you didn't get around to making them deal damage! |
| Apr 24 14:44:20 | 28m 21s | Spur of the Moment Racing | ♥ 1 | This worked surprisingly well! I kind of wish it was keyboard driven instead of mouse - I found that because it was annoying to constantly adjust the sliders I just stuck with modifying left and right - with gas full and break 0. If the sliders were keyboard controlled it would better. Also, that music loop was a bit insane - though I have a sneaking suspicion it was composed by Math.random... Those points aside - fantastic idea... I played this game for wayyy too long, and I think it's something you should keep building on! |
| Apr 24 16:16:33 | 1h 32m | Typistry | ♥ 0 | Damn it - I love typing games, and this looks awesome! Any chance of a mac or linux build? |
| Apr 24 16:21:51 | 5m 18s | Rockin' Horse | ♥ 1 | Awww, this looks really cool - I clicked on your download link just to see if I might be able to build the game on linux/mac, and itch.io got my hopes up by having the tux and apple icons... but alas! Exe-d! Still, "Rockin' Horse". Great name. |
| Apr 24 16:28:41 | 6m 50s | Life Jumper | ♥ 1 | This is beautiful. It reminded me of Jason Rohrer's game Passage (Oh - I see another commenter said it reminded them of "Gravitation"!). Damn games that make me think I'm wasting my life! Really, excellent and sublime work. |
| Apr 24 17:08:03 | 39m 22s | Stealth Trucking | ♥ 1 | I don't know what I was doing, but I had fun doing it! I'm not 100% sure of the goal... but I loved the mood, and it was suspenseful - I just wish there was a clear objective (like, some kind of checkpoint system - maybe there was, but I didn't make it - if I knew there was a checkpoint then I'd keep going). I feel like there is something really cool in the core of this though - and it's worth exploring more. And theme, graphics, audio, and mood were all 5 stars! (also - by the way, there is an extra unicode character in your web link so it 404s) |
| Apr 24 20:24:11 | 3h 16m | Wildfire: Conway's Game of Firefighting | ♥ 0 | I love the idea: I remember I made a GoL version along time ago that was editable: and every move I'd try to spark life, but accidentally destroyed it. I never thought that could actually be a game mechanic! |
| Apr 25 13:39:40 | 17h 15m | DragTypist | ♥ 1 | I got 48.644 - after I figured out to quickly reduce speed before overheating! but my greatest accomplishment was getting the game running: I don't have windows so I ran it from source. Anyone who wants to do the same my steps were (and I already had python3 installed): `pip3 install pygame` and then `python3 ./dragtypist.py`. Ok, back to the game: I thought it was a blast! (though I am partial to typing games... I made [Flappy Bird Typing Tutor](https://www.mrspeaker.net/dev/game/flappy/) a few years ago). This game really reminded me of the hours I spent on Mavie Beacon Typing Tutor - they had a racing car game too! I personally like your graphics better - they are perfect. I didn't really understand the cool down bonus system though... I like that you can't just type like a maniac to win, and had to "throw the game" to cool down, but I'd like more indication of how far away I was from getting a cooldown bonus. Like, if I new the next correct letter would get me a bonus then I wouldn't hit a bad letter to avoid overheating. Annnyhooo, great work - I'm glad I got it running! |
| Apr 25 14:17:54 | 38m 14s | Karaoke Ninja | ♥ 3 | Brilliant! I want to see this at a bar, on stage - game projected on a wall, and you have to sing and play via controller. Make it happen! |
| Apr 25 14:23:35 | 5m 41s | We Don't Serve Zombies | ♥ 1 | I really like the look of this, but am on Linux (also have a mac lying around too) - it's a Game Maker game right? Would it be possible to do a build for mac/linux? |
| Apr 25 14:35:49 | 12m 14s | Cursed Princess | ♥ 1 | This turned out to be a lot deeper than I initially thought it would be - It's not really my genre of choice, but it sucked me in and I ended up playing for a good 20 minutes! Well done. |
| Apr 25 14:39:30 | 3m 41s | Card Coded | ♥ 1 | This LD has been tough for me: I've never played a deck-building game and for most of the card-based entries I don't understand what is going on. But I get it now! This game was fast paced (for the idea) and my choices felt more purposeful. I feel like this game might be my gateway drug to card games xD |
| Apr 25 17:42:22 | 3h 02m | Dungeon Slider | ♥ 1 | Wow, really polished entry! This theme has been great for me learning genres that I'd otherwise avoid: I'm not a rpg kinda person, but combined with something familiar like a 15-puzzle it becomes much more accessible and enjoyable. Really cool... I wish it had some sound, but other than that, very impressive! |
| Apr 25 17:43:58 | 1m 36s | Holding Aces: The Card Game Shoot-em-Up! | ♥ 1 | I won! That was good: I just wish the cards actually did something... like you needed to keep and discard cards to get a good poker hand and then that becomes an uber-attack! |
| Apr 25 17:52:06 | 8m 08s | Dungeon of High School romance | ♥ 1 | Today I learned I'm bad at dating AND RPGs. This was a great game though - and I'm sucker for ascii: 5 star graphics from me ;) |
| Apr 25 18:57:27 | 1h 05m | Eggplant Kindergarten | ♥ 2 | Damn it, just spend 45 minutes playing this! Just brilliant - so much character, and so many eggplant facts. |
| Apr 25 19:17:51 | 20m 24s | BatterHook | ♥ 2 | Ha ha, what?! Pretty cool idea - I loved the sound effects, they were perfect. But the music seemed a bit sombre ;) |
| Apr 26 12:42:02 | 17h 24m | Golden Beak Golf | ♥ 1 | Damn it, 20 minutes later and I still can't break 4: and I got really good at Flappy Bird back in the day ;) My only tiny nitpick is the power bar: there's no reason for it to go so powerful I think - Like, max should be 50% - 75%... it's frustrating (not the good kind) to accidentally go anywhere over 50% and then you know there's no way to recover. I guess it would be cool if the initial shot could be more influential or integral to how the flight part worked. But this was great fun - I played for ages. I loved the "multi-stage-ness" of it. Perfect graphics and audio (reminded me a bit of the old StrongBad videlectrix games too - which is always a good thing)! |
| Apr 27 01:22:03 | 12h 40m | Slime Battle Royale | ♥ 1 | Dang it - that trailer looks flippin' fantastic: any chance of a build for mac or linux?! (Also, any chance of a post-compo multiplayer version: that would rad) |
| Apr 27 12:40:07 | 11h 18m | Flight Deck | ♥ 2 | Yep - agree with a lot of the comments above: really deep for a game jam. And unlike most of the games this LD (mine included!), you "combine two incompatible themes" in a really aesthetically seamless way: it doesn't feel like you've cluncked two different things together, it feels like a cohesive whole. And has an Airplane! vibe, so it's a winner for me. |
| Apr 28 02:05:19 | 13h 25m | Flying By Yourself | ♥ 0 | Perfect. There is no need for anymore games ever again. |
| Apr 29 14:09:36 | 36h 04m | Tumblenaut | ♥ 1 | Yeah great effort - I thought it was going to be stupidly easy at first, but it turned out to be quite well balanced! Choosing to go fast (and pinball hilariously), vs low-and-steady and run out of oxygen was really cool because you'd have to change strategy half-way through. I found it hard to reliably win - which made me want to try "just one more time". Good stuff. |
| Apr 29 19:00:43 | 4h 51m | TOBY GAWK PRO WALKER (🔥NOW WITH HTML🔥) | ♥ 1 | Just like Tony Hawk, I could never nail the combos. All this needs is customizable characters and it would be perfect. |
| Apr 29 19:06:25 | 5m 42s | Cyclevania | ♥ 1 | Ha ha, this is aweeeeesome!The graphics are fantastic - flashbacks to Excite Bike on the C64. Brilliant idea, I played it for way too long! I hope you build it out further after the compo, with a bit more time on some level design I think could actually be really solid. Man, I'm still laughing, this is great! |
