| Apr 23 17:56:01 | Perplexive Perspective | ♥ 1 | Fun idea and really good fit with theme. I found it satisfying to get through most of the levels, although the helix one was too much for me - I don't think the visuals and the controls were quite subtle enough to make that one easy. The audio and mood was nice. | |
| Apr 23 18:07:43 | 11m 42s | Six Shooter: Cowboy vs Aliens | ♥ 0 | I was not great at this game, I only managed 960, but it was still really fun. I found it very satisfying to line up a shot at an angle that meant I could get my bullets back. The sprites were nice too, helped create a good mood along with that acoustic guitar music. Overall I really liked it! One note though - did you know that the compo is for entries by a single person only? You should really enter this as a jam submission if you did it as a team. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules |
| Apr 23 18:26:52 | 19m 09s | TypeSkater | ♥ 4 | This is a cool concept, I just found it way too hard. It's possible that's because I'm super bad at games, but maybe you suffered from that classic case of playing the game so much over the weekend you forgot how hard it would be for new players? What would have helped me was maybe not having to push yourself along as well as typing. Another thing would be for the text you need to type to be above the people or obstacles, although I can see why you didn't go in that direction - it would be cool to learn the various tricks and master them. When playing for longer I can see that being really fun to master, but for the rating phase of a jam it feels a little too hardcore. The pixel art, animation and music are great though, the few tricks I managed felt great to pull off. |
| Apr 23 18:37:36 | 10m 44s | Tiny Crusader | ♥ 1 | Nice idea, even though it's loosely based on lemmings it feels quite original. I would have liked a quick pause button, or a little time at the start of the level to plan, but other than that I really enjoyed it. |
| Apr 23 20:16:31 | 1h 38m | Fire Duck Football | ♥ 2 | Nice voice work, I did like the giant duck shouting "gooooaal". Haven't played a game with a duck holding an automatic weapon since Dynamite Dux on the master system in 1989! |
| Apr 23 20:21:12 | 4m 41s | Cyclevania | ♥ 1 | I struggled with the controls a bit, but everything worked as it should. Fits the theme well I think, and I really liked the music. It felt a bit weird to have a dirt bike in a horror castle, but in a good way, so it created a cool atmosphere. |
| Apr 23 20:31:49 | 10m 37s | Mojojo | ♥ 3 | This was so damn adorable, I loved it! I played through to the end and had a great time, made me smile all the way through. The music was great, and it made me play the game really fast for some reason, just got caught up in the rhythm of it I guess. Great take on theme. The character's walk cycle was cute too, made me laugh. Not sure what else to say, an almost perfect jam game so 5 stars from me. |
| Apr 23 20:40:08 | 8m 19s | Turn-Based Invaders from Space! | ♥ 1 | Nice pixels and overall feel is great as usual. I could get down to maybe 3 ships left but no better than that. The whole idea does work though, could be expanded on and be something pretty cool I think. |
| Apr 23 20:50:48 | 10m 40s | No-Brain Jogging | ♥ 2 | I think this works really well, and is a great fit for the theme. The main thing that works is that the maths doesn't get much harder, it seems really simple at the start to solve things like 7/1 and 8*0, but when there are zombies right next to you then you panic and suddenly the same equations are harder to solve. I think that's good design, and I really laughed at how panicked I got the first time time I died! |
| Apr 23 21:48:56 | 58m 08s | Type Away - a fast paced text based endless runner... with zombies | ♥ 2 | This was simple but effective. Managed to survive 101 seconds before a zombie surprised me from the right and just blindly typed "right" in a panic, and ran into its arms. |
| Apr 23 22:03:20 | 14m 24s | Unbelievabubble | ♥ 3 | This is great, well done! It's a cool combination of mechanics and fits the theme really well, the platform controls and feel of the jumping is very good too. Graphical style is very nice and overall great fun to play. |
| Apr 23 22:14:08 | 10m 48s | Get Out Of My Dungeon | ♥ 3 | I think this actually works really well as a concept, it was fun to get the shots right. Would have been nice if the enemies were rounder, so you could judge the shots like proper snooker/billiards. |
| Apr 23 22:14:57 | 49s | Garlic the vampire hunter. | ♥ 2 | I got most of the way though, although it got quite hard later on. Shame there was no sound, but the graphics were really nice |
| Apr 23 22:18:50 | 3m 53s | Soccer Stacker | ♥ 1 | This is so hard! Is it possible to get more than 3? 😆 |
| Apr 24 17:05:15 | 18h 46m | Infernoculus | ♥ 1 | Really impressive for a 3 day event, I think the concept and presentation were both excellent. |
| Apr 24 17:11:31 | 6m 16s | Bar Fighter - Dating sim + Fighting game | ♥ 1 | The fighting sequence seemed like just randomly hitting keys was the best way to win, didn't really know what I was doing there, but the chat stuff was really funny. You are definitely getting top marks for theme from me, really weird and wonderful idea! |
| Apr 24 20:10:25 | 2h 58m | Beat Boxer | ♥ 2 | Like others have said the music was a bit repetitive, definitely something to work on. The idea was cool though and fits the theme really well. I also like the graphics - I wish the arrows had been more central as I spent most of the time looking at them instead of the nice characters you designed! |
| Apr 24 20:30:32 | 20m 07s | Basketball Wars | ♥ 1 | I don't mind the graphics, and well done on getting something finished. I think my main criticism was having the random enemies that you couldn't see, felt a bit unfair. But it was a really good take on the theme, and I did manage to score in the end 😄 |
| Apr 24 20:52:29 | 21m 57s | Ah! Runaway! | ♥ 1 | It all looks quite neat, and fits the theme well. It was pretty hard though, I really struggled to keep up! |
| Apr 24 20:56:42 | 4m 13s | BREAK // HELL | ♥ 1 | This is so good, great fun and everything feels very professional and polished. It's a cool mechanic too, fits the theme and works really well. |
| May 2 12:09:11 | 183h 12m | FRESH to UNDEATH | ♥ 2 | The ragdoll stuff was funny, and maybe the idea of assigning energy in a strategic way could work, although I did find it impossible to get all 5 across and that was a little frustrating. I loved the music and the general concept made me laugh, it was so mad! Is that you saying "Fashion" on the track? It works really well. |
| May 2 13:07:10 | 57m 59s | Shady Cards | ♥ 2 | There's a lot going on here! As others have said, the platforming is a little too fast to control, but other than that it worked well. The addition of poker was cool, and I like it how the best hand isn't always the right choice. I think that is a clever mechanic, although the countdown timer and things happening so fast means it didn't stand out as much as it should. The graphics and overall presentation was very good, well done! |
| May 2 13:15:36 | 8m 26s | Bullet Heck | ♥ 2 | Well done to the team on this game, I thought it was great! It did feel quite addictive, and I had quite a few turns. I struggled to stop myself from going fast when things were clear, and then the danger snuck up on me. I think a few other people have said that it would be good to see more of the surrounding map, and it felt like the fun part was planning your next few moves to avoid the bullets and the monsters. |
| May 2 13:34:47 | 19m 11s | Super Slime Slasher Ultra | ♥ 2 | Once I read the tutorial properly I understood the theme and the gameplay, both of which were good ideas. The graphics and voice-over etc was all great, nice presentation. THe gameplay itself was pretty cool, has good potential, was just slightly a pain for me as the hitbox on the sword and the slimes seemed a bit off (I had a few combos broken by hitting slimes that weren't that close to my sword). I think overall this is a very good entry though. |
| May 2 18:25:17 | 4h 50m | BlipBlapBall | ♥ 2 | I like the idea of turn-based football, and I enjoyed this. I don't think there was anything bad for a jam game, but if you wanted to improve it then I think feedback/information is the key. I know for other turn-based games I enjoy (e.g. Invisible Inc), the thing that makes it fun is knowing exactly what can or could happen, so you can plan ahead and weigh up any risk/reward to your actions. I know some games handle this with % chance, although personally I think it's better if there are defined rules. So in the example of a football game: maybe you can pass it through 1 opposition player but not 2, or you can't pass it through an opposition player if they are next to you, that sort of thing. |
| May 3 20:15:20 | 25h 50m | Rap 'N Reel | ♥ 1 | Played this on my HTC One and it worked perfectly. Really nice concept, funny execution and perfect fit for the theme. |
| May 5 20:33:48 | 48h 18m | Rex McFury: Public Defender | ♥ 1 | Wow, quite a dark ending 😆 I liked this one, fits the theme and was good fun |
| May 5 20:42:31 | 8m 43s | Furlong Fracas | ♥ 1 | Loved this one, played a few times until I won a race. Graphics are nice and I liked the horse running sounds. I think it could do with a little something extra to add to the tactics (like a risk/reward, push your luck type thing), but on the whole this was a really great jam game. |
| May 6 21:27:01 | 24h 44m | Late for Love | ♥ 2 | Very nice! Similar idea to a game I played on the PS4 called Three Fourths Home (which I really liked). Graphics here are nice, and the movement of the car was super satisfying. I guess the narrative felt a little rushed, but that was understandable for a jam game, other than that the dialogue was very natural and that's quite hard to do I think. |
| May 15 10:35:01 | 205h 08m | Ace Golf: Blade Brawlers | ♥ 2 | Haha, what a mad game! The web version actually ran perfect for me, and I managed a narrow 1-0 victory. Probably be great in multiplayer, although I'd prefer it if once you were taking a shot nobody could knock you off the ball, maybe just get in a position to block you? Anyway good job, we all know that golf games are the best 😉 |
| May 15 13:33:21 | 2h 58m | Shutin | ♥ 2 | Glad I had time to come try this, it had a great atmosphere! I genuinely found it so stressful though, I starved to death twice because I couldn't bring myself to leave the pizza box out - I had to throw it away as soon as I had eaten. Just collapsed of hunger in a perfectly neat empty house. Where is was most like real life for me was trying to fit stuff in and realising I was going to bed later and later. I think never sleeping and only eating pizza is a terrifying window into what single life would be like for me 😆 |
