| Aug 13 10:12:33 | Demonologist | ♥ 1 | Fun game! The temperature mechanic has potential. I never saw the fire totem, so some way of showing which way to go to get there in time would help. The guide was too long. Reminded me a bit of llamatron. | |
| Aug 13 11:41:02 | 1h 28m | backSpace-X | ♥ 1 | Nice work! I found it a bit boring (sorry) and the collision detection seems off, because I got hit by things that were not touching me. I liked the sound effects and music. |
| Aug 13 11:48:42 | 7m 40s | Running out of Keys | ♥ 2 | Great puzzle game! Once you get it (I took a couple of tries to figure out how to play), it is quite easy, so maybe adding a timer would help. Would play again! |
| Aug 13 12:01:44 | 13m 02s | Floodtown | ♥ 1 | I liked it! I managed to earn $12072, so probably I didn't quite get how to play properly. Perhaps a tutorial would help. The graphics were nice and I really got the theme of running out of space! |
| Aug 13 12:49:12 | 47m 28s | Running out of Space | ♥ 1 | Really nice game! Reminded me of games like Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion. Took me a while to translate the alien characters and even longer to figure out how to get to the upper deck, but I completed the game eventually! |
| Aug 13 13:15:29 | 26m 17s | Petra | ♥ 2 | Great puzzler! I only managed to solve the impossible level by accident after getting stuck, but I worked out most of the levels eventually. Love the simple colourful graphics and the simple smooth gameplay. |
| Aug 13 14:04:15 | 48m 46s | Another Summer Run | ♥ 1 | Nice work! I made it to the coast without any trouble, so it might be a bit easy. I didn't understand that you score more points if you're closer to the edge, so maybe some way of showing that would help, like bonus points notifications or something. I definitely got the feel of the theme, and the graphics are pretty cute. |
| Aug 13 14:11:27 | 7m 12s | ROOS? | ♥ 0 | Good game! Graphics are simple but effective. It could do with some guidance to start with, but it's pretty obvious how to play once the blocks start falling. |
| Aug 13 14:23:45 | 12m 18s | DON'T RUN OUT OF SPACE | ♥ 1 | Awesome! I love the graphics style, you stuck close to the theme, the sound effects are great and it's fun too! |
| Aug 13 14:34:49 | 11m 04s | Rumble Trouble | ♥ 1 | I liked it! Simple but solid puzzle mechanics. I found the music a bit aggravating, but 👍 for doing it. I found it a bit too easy to press the wrong key and walk off the edge, which I suppose it the point, but I think the challenge should be more about not painting yourself into a corner than fat fingers - so maybe prevent the player walking off the path? |
| Aug 13 14:42:22 | 7m 33s | Bitter Litter | ♥ 0 | Lovely graphics and music! The beep sound effect is a bit jarring, though. The feel of the controls is so nice, drifting around the planet 😁 It crashed for me on Mac - I was just clicking at random and the whole app shut down - but it was fun while it lasted. |
| Aug 13 14:50:56 | 8m 34s | Dash Brawler | ♥ 2 | Love it! The AI is pretty easy to beat, but it is still satisfying to do it! Love the graphics style, the sound effects are perfect and the intro is cool too. 👍 |
| Aug 13 15:57:14 | 1h 06m | Continuum | ♥ 0 | It's quite a simple game and easy to win - like others have said, it might be nice to have more keys to type (or words). The graphics, sound and music are all superb! 👍 |
| Aug 13 16:20:33 | 23m 19s | Getting Some Space | ♥ 1 | I think it's really beautiful. It's very soothing and I really love the traffic sounds. Great to see this kind of entry! |
| Aug 13 16:45:50 | 25m 17s | Spaceabon | ♥ 1 | Fun puzzler! I found the game very easy to get into and very soothing in puzzle mode - especially with the great music just keeping me sliding those blocks around and tidying up! Very zen. 😑 |
| Aug 13 17:05:47 | 19m 57s | Stack Overflow | ♥ 0 | It's quite compulsive! I got into a rhythm and could keep the stack empty without too much trouble, so maybe it should get faster or something. The sound effects are just right and the graphics are simple but effective. Nice work! |
| Aug 13 17:26:08 | 20m 21s | POP! Save Person McPersonFace | ♥ 1 | The intro was so calm, and then the game was intense! The music and the countdown timer really put the pressure on! The controls are confusing, but it kind of adds to the challenge. |
| Aug 13 17:58:03 | 31m 55s | Closing In | ♥ 1 | Nice game! The music and the graphics are good - although I also found it hard to see how close the walls were. I felt like it could all be a bit faster. |
| Aug 13 19:01:43 | 1h 03m | Setting Soul | ♥ 0 | The atmosphere is very creepy, especially with the music and the evil laughter. I couldn't figure out where to go after the second arrow, though. |
| Aug 13 20:12:49 | 1h 11m | Running Out of Space | ♥ 0 | I liked it! I couldn't seem to replenish the jump meter fast enough, so I didn't make it very far. The sound effects are great and the music is pretty good too. 👍 |
| Aug 13 20:19:07 | 6m 18s | Iris | ♥ 1 | Wow, this is a hard game - I can't even get past the second wave. Nice graphics and sound, smooth gameplay, and it fits the theme. Makes me want to keep trying! |
| Aug 13 20:32:36 | 13m 29s | Dead Zone | ♥ 1 | Nice game! Really tough, and the mouse control seems weird - I thought the ship would aim at the mouse pointer, but it seemed like moving the mouse left and right was like pressing the left and right arrow keys instead. Nice graphics and sound, and sticks close to the theme too. |
| Aug 14 09:39:04 | 13h 06m | float and stuff | ♥ 2 | I liked it! I was surprised at the level restarting once I'd made it impossible to win - in other games like this, you just get stuck and have to manually restart or wait for the timer to run down, so 👍 for that feature. |
| Aug 14 09:43:00 | 3m 56s | Delivery Boi | ♥ 1 | Excellent game! Graphics are fun, sound effects are awesome. I thought I was doing ok, but then I ran out of space, so maybe you could make it more obvious that space is about to run out by flashing/enlarging the capacity meter or something - to give the player a sense of urgency. But that's just polish. Loved it 👍 |
| Aug 14 09:49:19 | 6m 19s | The Big Crunch: Cosmic Horizon | ♥ 1 | Great game! The music is really good and the game is easy to get to grips with and compulsive. I had trouble with the asteroids kind of hugging the walls and it was difficult to get them away again, so maybe the physics need a tweak? Also, I didn't really notice the walls closing in, but the visual effect is cool. 👍 |
| Aug 14 10:08:33 | 19m 14s | Slime Escape | ♥ 1 | Great game! Sound effects are just right (although I also had the click/chirp at the end of the jump sound when I played, but nm) and the music fits well, even if it is a slightly short loop. The graphics are really nice and the controls are smooth. I'm terrible at platform games, so I can't do a speedrun, but I had fun playing. Top work! |
| Aug 14 21:50:40 | 11h 42m | Noah's Help! | ♥ 0 | Great game! Super cute animal graphics and a fun puzzle. I liked the sound effects. I managed to complete the game (yay!) but that last level was pretty tough. A couple of animals shapes were difficult to see - perhaps the squares that would be filled could be highlighted when you drag the animal over them? 👍 |
| Aug 14 22:10:49 | 20m 09s | Reverse | ♥ 1 | Slick puzzle game with a simple, innovative concept. Really liked it, even though I am not very good at it. Well done! |
| Aug 14 22:26:15 | 15m 26s | Reasonable Claustrophobia | ♥ 1 | Wow, I love this game! Your graphics and animation are awesome, and the sound effects and music are great too. The gameplay is fast and smooth and compulsive. I managed to beat the game and I really enjoyed using the walls to take out the bad guys. Superb! |
| Aug 14 22:38:50 | 12m 35s | Rainforest | ♥ 2 | Beautiful graphics, and a fun game. I also didn't realise how to know which boxes went where at first - maybe colour coding would be more obvious than the number labels and the box size. But that's just a quibble. Great work! 👍 |
| Aug 14 22:48:54 | 10m 04s | Utter Space | ♥ 1 | Really nice! I found it challenging to build up the door and then it took me a minute to figure out what to do when I had 🤦 Great work! |
| Aug 15 07:33:51 | 8h 44m | SpaceRunner | ♥ 1 | Great game! Left me wanting more. I like the feel of the floaty jumps and the jetpack mechanic works well. I think the collision detection could be tweaked a bit - I was killed by spikes when jumping near them even when I didn't touch them, so I assume the hit boxes are a bit bigger than the sprites. Nice work! |
| Aug 15 07:54:44 | 20m 53s | Running out of S.P.A.C.E. | ♥ 1 | Tricky and funny! I felt pretty smart putting the space in the telescope, but then I got stuck outside the hyperspace gym, because I didn't realise what happened when I got on the treadmill. Made me feel nostalgic for Zork and all those old text adventures. 👍 |
| Aug 15 14:29:49 | 6h 35m | Brightly-Wrapped Boxes | ♥ 1 | Nice literal interpretation of the theme. I liked the idea of the game, placing presents and then opening them is quite jolly compared to a lot of violent and intense offerings out there. Speaking of intensity, I didn't really get a sense of urgency about picking up waiting boxes, so when I ran out of time, it was a bit of a surprise. Perhaps some kind of nagging would help? I found the movement was fine, and I agree that zooming out the camera might be useful, although I didn't really have any trouble placing boxes. Nice job! 👍 |
| Aug 15 14:45:48 | 15m 59s | Borderblast | ♥ 1 | I couldn't get the game to run on macos :( I executed the Jar file, but all I get is a blank window. |
| Aug 15 15:02:05 | 16m 17s | Pre Alpha Build | ♥ 3 | I like it! Tetris meets tower defence - would have been a good entry for LD41 too :) The UI was a little confusing, I didn't immediately understand what the numbers meant - perhaps a short tutorial round before sending in the hordes of enemies? But maybe I'm just slow. The music and graphics are cool, nice work! |
| Aug 15 16:14:49 | 1h 12m | Crowdy Planet | ♥ 1 | Really lovely game! The graphics and sfx are cute and the music fits perfectly. I found it difficult to see which crowdys were sick once you zoom out to the second stage, so they kept dying off in planetwide plagues :( which is a great challenge! I kept accidentally killing crowdys i wanted to clone and vice versa - but I'm playing on a macbook with a trackpad with no right-mouse-button, which isn't really the right tool for the job - maybe keyboard + mouse controls? Great work! |
| Aug 27 08:05:58 | 279h 51m | Pizza Defender | ♥ 1 | Aaah, I love this! The graphics are excellent and cute as heck! It's particularly interesting to me, as your game is similar in concept to my own, but you've done a much better job. I wish you'd had time to get some sounds in, it would have made it much more atmospheric. Some suggestions for post-jam features: * Broccolis and tomatoes seem to chew up the same amount of pizza, so I made sure to shoot broccoli first, as they take fewer shots to kill. Maybe make tomatoes take bigger bites, or introduce some more ingredients with different eating patterns. * ~~Make the bad guys come in waves - maybe you can have victory condition if you beat all the waves without dying or losing all the pizza~~ - oh, you already thought of this :) * Score based on number of bad guys killed or amount of pizza left * Different weapons - maybe you could have a flame thrower that would cook bad guys into the pizza and rebuild it Anyway, fantastic game - I'd love to see you keep working on it! |
| Aug 30 20:20:21 | 84h 14m | Space Cadet | ♥ 0 | I enjoyed the oddness, didn't mind the motion blur. I played for a while, got spacebars from various places, and offered them to the buddha, but then the game seemed to crash. Overall, pretty good! |
| Sep 2 08:04:47 | 59h 44m | Paradise Inc | ♥ 1 | Really nice game. The graphics reminded me of Flashback or Another World, very cool and set the mood well. The music was nice, I liked the change of mood when you get to Paradise. The story was a bit short and predictable - I get that there wasn't enough time to make a longer story, but since you don't get to make any decisions, it's a bit unsatisfying. I'd love to see this fleshed out a bit more - perhaps some explanation of why Paradise isn't what they hoped for. Also, I didn't really notice the people in the background in reality on my first play, so it felt like there were more people in Paradise - maybe there should be more people in the apartment building at the start to really push the "running out of space" theme. Overall, great job! |
