Apr 24 02:21:24 TimeStaar [Turn Based Bullet Hell] ♥ 2 I liked your art style a lot. It really felt like an old arcade game. Your time mechanic is neat too.
Apr 24 16:30:38 14h 09m Mojojo ♥ 1 I loved the 3d backgrounds with the 2d characters and the energetic music. Showing the bowling pins mercy made me laugh. Really funny stuff.
Apr 24 17:08:34 37m 56s Survival Dash ♥ 1 Neat retro game. I was a little confused by the crafting system but still good job.
Apr 24 17:42:38 34m 04s Gravity Chess ♥ 1 I like the concept of gravity having an effect on chess a lot. If you could figure out a way to expand it so you can play a full game of chess with gravity that would be really cool.
Apr 24 20:17:16 2h 34m Flayer & Puck ♥ 2 I like how you did multiple incompatible genres with hockey. I got stuck in the back of the goal for level 2 and had to restart. You may want to adjust the brick breaker controls because I only got past on luck. The dating sim at the end was really funny and a great finale.
Apr 24 20:38:49 21m 33s Moah the Mower ♥ 1 The game is really relaxing. I did something to flip the mower and I got stuck and had to restart. I love the music and art style. If you expand upon the game, I would love to see different terrains besides the flat one like a golf field.
Apr 25 04:53:59 8h 15m A-Card Shooter ♥ 1 This is a very well made fun game. I love the concept of being a deck building shooter. The controls to use cards is a little hard but other than that it's great. I loved the blood splats and bullet shells flying everywhere. I appreciate the little shock waves that happen when you hit an enemy. It's little details like that that make your game so good.
Apr 25 19:12:35 14h 18m Fintastic Escape ♥ 0 I couldn't figure out anything past putting the eel in the socket and the paper on the shelf. I have no idea how to get the paper from the lobster. The art is great though and the music is very soothing.
Apr 25 19:20:16 7m 41s Carmagotchi ♥ 1 The music made me chuckle.
Apr 25 19:30:25 10m 09s sequencer tower defense ♥ 1 I liked the artwork and particles. The music is very retro. You can just spam the button to attack instead of going with the rhythm though.
Apr 25 19:38:18 7m 53s Bananalicious ♥ 1 I love the dancing banana in the menu. Eating the other fruit to regain health is kinda funny. The controls got stuck/lagged a lot so it was shooting when I wasn't clicking and forcing me to walk in a direction I wasn't pressing. If you expand upon the game I would love different maps.
Apr 27 03:09:43 31h 31m Order Up! ♥ 0 I like the idea of the game a lot, I just wish the food items were placed in certain areas instead of randomly placing them. A better level layout would make the game better too. Maybe add some sort of time limit for the orders and maybe lives because I didn't feel the pressure to fulfill the orders. The controls were very smooth and the double jump felt really good.
Apr 27 03:22:40 12m 57s KEYBOARD WARRIOR ♥ 1 Really great use of theme. The main problem I had was typing to shoot and moving at the same time. Maybe you can have movement by clicking with the mouse that way the key board is only for typing. You could get some fun coop with one person moving and aiming on mouse and one person typing to shoot on keyboard. Sometimes letter were hard to tell apart like E and W. If you expand upon the game I think music would make it feel more exciting. Great job with the camera movement and art.
Apr 27 03:30:05 7m 25s Block-a-thon! ♥ 1 I love the idea of the game but it is mostly based on chance. If everything was smaller and the blocks fell slower I feel like there would be more strategy to the game. The controls were very smooth and I love the art of the little block guy. The retro music was good too.
Apr 27 04:48:24 1h 18m Celauss - An Epic Realtime CCG Space Battle Game ♥ 2 The game is well made but very easy. I like the idea of placing ships but I feel like there wasn't much strategy involved. I love the retro graphics.
Apr 27 05:01:06 12m 42s Monstrously Hunky ♥ 1 Really funny game. The art and the romantic music are great. The text on some of the monsters descriptions was kind of small and hard to read. I also wish their was more variety in the questions. I got a lot of repeats. Great job with the character traits generating.
Apr 27 19:34:02 14h 32m Bullet Break ♥ 1 I like the idea of the game a lot, but most of the levels seemed identical. Maybe if you expand upon the game you could add more types of balls. I love the clown though. Very creepy.
Apr 27 20:02:45 28m 43s Checkmate ♥ 2 This game is really well made and a great idea. The only thing is that I wish that the second attack was a middle click of the mouse or space instead of shift. The world is great and interesting looking but game play wise is there is no reason to leave the openness of the yard. Being in rooms made it harder. If you had to pick up an item somewhere or kill someone in a certain room it would give you a better reason to leave the yard. I love how the pieces break apart and the different abilities of the pieces. Maybe my favorite game I have played so far. Well done.
Apr 27 20:23:13 20m 28s From the Breach ♥ 1 The game is a really neat idea and really fun. The voice acting is outstanding. Is there no win condition because after 3 waves the enemies just stopped coming? The animations were great, I just wish the textures were better. I wish the car could turn sharper too. The music was really good. I felt a sense of urgency. Overall really great game and I had a good time playing it.
Apr 27 20:45:01 21m 48s Putt-Putt BOOM! ♥ 2 This is a really great idea turned into a really great game. There is a small bug on level 10. I went into the water with the life raft and when I came out of the water I pop over the boundary wall and was moving around in the grey outside section and couldn't get back in. The music is really great and while the sound effects were funny, I think real sound effects would suit the tone of your game better. I understand the controls are retro but it is really hard to turn with left and right and go forward and backwards with up and down. I think you should keep the retro controls but have an easier option for movement to choose like moving the direction you press. The art is amazingly retro and the level design is superb. This is one of my favorites for sure.
Apr 27 20:58:33 13m 32s Claude Van Clam Presents: Roberto Fishermun's Horrific Fishing Adventure 2019 ♥ 4 This is a really great use of theme. Some of the fish spawn off screen. Pressing space didn't exit fishing every time. The art is really nice. Even though it is good, I don't think the music matches your mood. You did a really good job on this game. Nice work.
Apr 27 21:16:49 18m 16s Struggling Detective ♥ 1 Really great art and music. The idea is fantastic but sometimes things would get in the way of what I needed to hit and it was basically impossible to reach the object. Really great sound effects. Thoroughly enjoyed the game.
Apr 27 21:32:00 15m 11s Hoverfield Park - Beat Haven ♥ 2 Great art and music in your game. The world looks very lively. I wish there was more to do besides visit the bar and play the one guitar. The animations are really well done. Nice work.
Apr 27 21:47:26 15m 26s Point'n'Kill ♥ 1 Really great job with this game. The art and music are amazing. I love the particle effects. I wish there was more progression in the game. It seemed to stay the same difficulty and I only died because I go careless. Sometimes the big pink blobs would push me instead of doing damage. The game is very simple but very well made. Amazing work.
Apr 27 21:59:37 12m 11s Dating Sim Hell ♥ 1 I like how there are multiple difficulties and how they shoot funny statements at you. I think giving the player a task besides surviving would make the game better like adding the ability to shoot. The music is very energetic. Good job.
Apr 27 22:22:15 22m 38s Mad King ♥ 1 I really like the idea of the game. There are some balancing issues like how I needed more food but I was only asked about food twice in 20 turns. I like that you have to balance the resources but I wish the game was less random.
Apr 27 22:34:40 12m 25s Prophylaxis ♥ 0 I like the art style and that the enemies are teeth that get cavities. The jump felt a little weird but other than that the controls were good. Interested to see where it goes if you expand upon it.
Apr 27 22:47:53 13m 13s Yum Some!! ♥ 1 Really fun game. Really difficult. I wish I had the temperament to get past level 3. I was confuse what to do with the cut carrots after the pan flips them up. Good job with the physics. It's a neat game.
Apr 27 23:08:16 20m 23s Type n' Jump ♥ 2 The concept is amazing, I love the art, the level design is great, and it's really fun to play. I love how it gives you the total number of letters you pressed at the end in addition to the time it took you to beat it. The game froze for like 5 seconds when I was playing once but other than that I have zero complaints. This would be a really great game to teach kids typing. Fantastic job.
Apr 28 05:08:06 5h 59m The Adventures of Cake Man ♥ 1 I like the idea of collecting ingredients, but I wish the platforming was more dynamic. Only problem I had was that my character got stuck on the sides of platforms. Maybe if you expand upon the game you can have multiple levels where you make different foods. Good job.
Apr 28 05:21:30 13m 24s Engine in Shadow ♥ 1 The lighting looked amazing and really added to the sneaky, stealth feel of the game. I think if you expand upon the game in the future there should be some sort of collectibles and maybe some sort of power ups. Only problems I had was some of the collisions which you mentioned and that the turning was kind of slow. I really like what you did with this game and am interested to see how you expand it. Great job.
Apr 28 05:39:42 18m 12s Twin TV ♥ 0 This game is really amazing. The art is great and I love the animations. The music is great and the sounds are on point. The concept of a shooting card matching game is genius. Definitely one of my favorites. I have no negatives. Keep up the good work.
Apr 28 05:49:08 9m 26s Goose Typing Attack ♥ 1 I love the art style and the energetic music. If you expand upon the game maybe have different levels of difficulty. Maybe I'm just terrible at typing, but it seemed really hard to me. You did a great job on this and it's really funny.
Apr 28 16:33:53 10h 44m Point & Shoot ♥ 1 I really like the concept of the game. The voice acting was great. I wish every word you shot actually had audio. I'd love to see an expanded version of this with art and more rooms. This was neat. Good job.
Apr 28 16:53:06 19m 13s Ratty's Stew: An Immersive Cooking Simulation ♥ 2 I really like the level design of your game. I thought the little secret passages were neat. I'm not sure if this is a mistake or not but I was able to get on top of the cupboard in level 2. The game crashed with a fatal error in level 3 when I ran into/ maybe killed a cockroach. If you expand upon the game maybe make the enemy movement more dynamic. I really liked the art. It felt like I was small. Good job.
Apr 28 16:58:16 5m 10s Little Wings ♥ 0 I like the idea of your game a lot. If you expand upon it I think more dynamic art would help improve the feel of the game. This is a neat game.
Apr 28 17:18:32 20m 16s Fallen Leaves ♥ 1 I love the art in the game. It's really atmospheric. Only bug I had was when I was blinking when the first orb was talking the first half of his text got scrambled like alphabet soup. I wish the blinking had some sort of indicator to where you are going. The platforming is very hard especially on world 2. I enjoyed the experience anyway. Good job.
Apr 28 18:40:22 1h 21m GUN-HOCKEY ♥ 1 Really well thought out concept. The game is a lot of fun to play. The AI is actually challenging. I love the sparks that come out of the puck. If you expand upon the game I would love an arcade background with music. Fantastic job. Well done!
Apr 28 18:58:41 18m 19s Jeff From Accounting ♥ 0 The visuals are outstanding. I didn't think it was possible to get that much art done in 3 days. The music and audio were on point. I love the click of the typewriter keys and the upbeat/sometimes creepy music. Only problem with the game was that the motion blur was kind of high. I love how your key presses are the bullets. Unbelievably great game. Well done.
Apr 28 20:46:36 1h 47m Quick Down ♥ 0 This is a well made game. It's fun to play but I kept dying because I was running into enemies. I think the game would benefit if the camera was farther away. I love the animation on the soccer ball. It gave him personality. Good job. I would appreciate if you tried my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/vrnt
Apr 29 16:38:54 19h 52m Someone Is Wrong On The Internet ♥ 3 This game is addicting. I never got to the end (one away) because it got too hard, but well done. I love the idea and execution of the game. The music and sound effects are great too. Fantastic job.
Apr 29 20:41:14 4h 02m International Survival Soccer ♥ 1 I like the idea of this game a lot. The only problem I have is that the controls are not intuitive. It's and odd choice to have boost be V, pass be space, and kick be R. If they were 3 buttons right next to each other I think it would be easier to control. I love the visuals especially the smoke effect. Good job.
Apr 29 23:12:19 2h 31m Bullet Heck ♥ 1 Surprisingly addictive game. You have to keep yourself from going to fast or you'll die because sometimes you have to think several steps ahead. I would love to see an expanded version of this game with art and items that have effects. Great work.
Apr 29 23:26:30 14m 11s Beat Boxer ♥ 2 I like the idea of a fighting rhythm game a lot. Only negative is that you can't quit the training screen without waiting for your character to get knocked out. If you expand upon the game I would love animations for the fighters. Also maybe you could add a rating for how accurately you hit the arrow and/or a counter for total number of hits and misses. I really love the character designs and the other art in the game. Good job. I would appreciate if you rated my game too. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/vrnt
Apr 29 23:40:28 13m 58s The forgotten jacket ♥ 1 I like the idea of the game a lot. It was funny running into the duck and him asking if I had any grapes. What a throwback. I think if you expand upon the game maybe there should be some sort of destination or task besides walking back and forth waiting for someone to pop out. I liked the creepy sound effects and the art of the slow motion moments a lot. Good Job.
Apr 30 00:00:16 19m 48s Shady Cards ♥ 0 Really great idea to have you play poker while platforming. I love the the artwork and the music. The game is a little confusing if you don't know how to play poker. Also the left and right movement is way to fast/sensitive. It made jumping on platforms very difficult. I think this is a really well executed game and am interested to see how it evolves. Great job.
Apr 30 02:06:11 2h 05m CONFESSIONAL ♥ 1 The graphics in this game are amazing. The idea to play the torturer but control the camera through the victim is genius. If you expand upon this game I think voice acting would go a long way because the text went kind of quickly. Extremely well done. Fantastic!
Apr 30 03:35:12 1h 29m Sumbot Fighting! ♥ 1 I played the game with my roommate. Both of us thought it was well made creative game. Only problems we had was the display of the combos and not liking that if you don't hold down the button the piece disappears. If you expand upon the game I think music and sound effects would add a lot. It's a very innovative game that used the theme amazingly. Also the art is extremely well done. Great job. Please check out my game too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/vrnt
Apr 30 04:02:37 27m 25s Joe Chef ♥ 2 This game had me laughing so hard. The cut scenes are perfection. The sound effect, music, voice acting, art, and animations are all amazing. The fighting is fast paced and loads of fun. The one nitpick is that the counter is kind of slow and unresponsive sometimes. This game is so well executed. I would absolutely love to play an expanded version of this game with more characters and multiplayer. Fantastic Job!
Apr 30 04:16:53 14m 16s Hoop Tactics ♥ 1 Really great idea to have turn based basketball. I think the AI needs to be a developed more and the drop down should go away if you can't do anything instead of having to press exit ever time. If you expand upon the game I think multiplayer would be cool. I liked the way the grid worked. I like the pixel art and the music. Good job.
Apr 30 16:33:19 12h 16m The Waiting Room ♥ 1 I... I don't know what to say.
Apr 30 16:55:53 22m 34s Bait and Switch: LD41 entry ♥ 1 It's a neat game, but the fish would get stuck on the seaweed a lot cause a restart of the level. I like all the different types of fish but I wish there description was in game because I got confused. I like the art a lot and the mood is really nice. Good job.
Apr 30 17:12:57 17m 04s Peculiar Adventures of Dorothy Hops ♥ 2 This game's art and animation is so well done and fluid. I really like the idea of run with the quest giver. I wish there were some positive results for giving your money away like a power up because there seem to be no reason to give money except to not get stabbed.The physics are extremely polished. Great work!
Apr 30 20:06:01 2h 53m RTHM ♥ 1 The music beat is really great. I'm really bad at rhythm games but it was fun anyway. Good job.
Apr 30 22:20:54 2h 14m Eyes on the Prize ♥ 0 This game is really hard to play. That being said, I really like the art and the crafting system seems cool. I think if you reduce the amount of enemies that spawn the game would be more enjoyable. I like that enemies spawn from where you died but maybe make it just one or two and not another spawner. Nice work.
Apr 30 22:40:43 19m 49s TD blockBuilding - Blocks vs Blobs ♥ 0 It's a really fun idea. I wish the controls were a bit smoother. I'm interested to see how different levels would look if you expand upon the game. The graphics look good and the sound effects are funny. Good work.
Apr 30 22:49:51 9m 08s Neural Network Ratatouille ♥ 1 This is really cool. I would love to see the game expanded to operating in a kitchen like in the movie. I am impressed how well the controls worked. Great job.
Apr 30 23:09:26 19m 35s Wizsnooks ♥ 4 The art and music for this game are really well done. The idea of combat pool is really interesting and well executed. Sometimes bouncing off the wall or enemies didn't go where I think it should go. The game is extremely hard even with disenchanting materials. I played multiple games and didn't win one. I think if you expand upon the game you should add a zoom out mode to see the entire map. Great work. Interested to see how this game evolves.
Apr 30 23:34:32 25m 06s Doodle & Destroy ♥ 0 Really like the concept of the game. I wish the levels were longer. The art and animation in this game is beautifully done. Great job.
Apr 30 23:39:55 5m 23s Deadliest Catch ♥ 1 Really fun game to play. I wish the bomb had more range but other than that the game is fantastic. If you expand upon the game I would love different boats and maybe 4 player mode for maximum chaos. The art and animation are amazing. Great work.
Apr 30 23:49:18 9m 23s Space Bobble ♥ 2 The idea of this game is really great and well executed. I think the game would be more fun if the balls moved slower as I died rather quickly. If you expand upon the game I would love if you added music. I'm interested to see how this game evolves. Good work.
Apr 30 23:50:56 1m 38s Dungeon Typist ♥ 0 Your link says the site can't be reached
May 1 16:27:27 16h 36m The Fast Dating ♥ 1 Really neat idea. The distance between dates is kind of long. Running into things animation is kind of jarring when you just spawn them in front. The voice acting was funny. Good job.
May 1 16:36:27 9m 00s Jing & Jang delivery Co. ♥ 1 I love the art and music in this game a lot. The collisions are a little wonky as the first guy can walk through cars and the second guy can walk on top of the building. I wish their was a better indicator that the package got destroyed or got delivered. I wasn't quite sure some times. If you expand upon the game I would love to see different levels like frogger. The controls felt good and I like the speed difference between the two guys. Great work.
May 1 17:02:49 26m 22s On The Fly ♥ 1 This is so beautiful and calming. The art and animation are amazing. I love the little pings of the pot bumping to to stuff. The lighting changing from day to night is amazingly fluid. The controls are very fluid too. I love that the angle of the path looking like an infinite ball. Great job
May 6 17:15:05 120h 12m Need for Coin: Island Hoppers ♥ 0 This is a really fun Sonic inspired game. Some of the physics and controls are a bit wonky. I would probably add a reverse button. Also sometimes the track was bumpy so I would pop off the ground before I could press jump and it would kill me. Some of the re-spawns put me in weird spots like inside an island and in the bonus level I kept getting stuck and drive wasn't working. I love the tropical mood you made and I love the confetti at the end. When I wasn't struggling with the controls, the levels were fun and well designed. If you expand upon the game I would love to see multiplayer and maybe an endless mode. Good job.
May 6 17:34:22 19m 17s UNchessTOMIZER ♥ 0 Really great idea to have chess played with cards. I was a little confused on how things worked and I couldn't seem to kill anything. I also got a pawn to the other side and it didn't turn into a queen. The music is really well done and I liked the chess art. I really liked the movement of the cards when you hover over them. With some polishing I think this game will be really neat. Good job.
May 6 18:05:07 30m 45s Call Of Bob Ross ♥ 0 This is extremely well made game. I love the concept so much. The different weapons are great. If you expand upon the game I would love to see different types of bugs like flying bugs and more weapons like a rocket launcher. This game is so much fun. I am excited to see where this goes. Fantastic Job!
May 13 17:20:24 167h 15m Witch's Escape ♥ 1 The game is kind of slow to start but once the pace gets fast enough it gets fun. If you expand upon the game I would love if certain spell combinations are associated with specific obstacles because the colors seem meaningless when all the spells are purple. I really like the pixel art and the parallax layers. I don't know if it was an error on my end but I couldn't hear any sound. I am very interested to see how this game evolves. Good job.
May 13 17:55:48 35m 24s Proelium. ♥ 3 I really love the pixel art and animations. The music also sets the mood really well. The idea of this game is great. The different endings, the aging character, the speed of the loading screen, and the dialog are all genius. Fantastic Job!
May 14 16:17:41 22h 21m Flowers in the frame ♥ 1 This game is surprisingly addictive. I love the visual style of the game. The controls are difficult enough to make the game hard but not too difficult so that they are annoying. Fantastic job!
May 14 16:32:44 15m 03s Augmented Reality Virtual Pet Stealth - Browser Playable ♥ 0 The concept of this is really great. I would love to have played the AR version but the web version was fun too. The art really gave me that nostalgic feel of Tamagotchis. If you expand upon the game I would love to see different animals like cats, monkeys, kangaroos, etc. Fantastic Job!
May 14 16:45:58 13m 14s The Tower of Glass ♥ 1 Really fun, well made game. Great use of the theme. The level design was great. I would love it if you added animation movement to the characters. Great Job!
May 14 16:56:10 10m 12s The Tale of Rulers ♥ 1 Like the concept but the collision and jumping are a little wonky. I would love to see a polished version of this game. You could create some really cool levels with this concept. Good job.
