Sep 2 16:36:26 Capitalism Simulator ♥ 0 This sounds mean, I know, but you said it in the description already. This game was *surprisingly* boring given the screenshot. The mspaint art style looked charming and the idea of building a supply chain with trucks is interesting but then it's like an idle game that scales really fast. I think it's missing more intricate traffic simulation or more different resources or some kind of resource gathering interactivity. Still fun for a minute, but the design doesn't gel quite yet.
Sep 2 16:44:12 7m 46s Big Fish in a Little Pond ♥ 0 It doesn't look like much, and the idea of growing fish by eating smaller fish a la Osmos and agar.io is so played out that I have seen it done four or five times already since my first LD. It lacks polish, but you probably know that. You could flip the sprites when the fish swin left, instead of rotating for example. But this game has really great humour in the form of visual puns. I laughed out loud when I saw the sea lions and sword fish and sea horses. Linux build works for me, you can remove the (untested).
Sep 2 17:40:43 56m 31s Space Runner ♥ 1 This game is mis-tagged, both here and on itch. There is only a Windows download. I tried running it in wine though, and it worked. I am glad I didn't give up trying to get it to run: We had the same idea. Running IN space! (Except your astronaut has a rounder butt and my runner is not endless) It looks like you enabled physics on your character so he bounces a bit when you reach the ground. If you make a post-compo version, maybe tweak that part so he doesn't bounce, or handle the ground-collision manually, or maybe do something interesting with the bouncing. The slide animation reminded me of commander video in the first bit.trip.runner. Maybe that was a reference. The levels generation is probably when you can improve the most. As is, sometimes there is an alien and a spike at the same time, and sometimes the screen is completely empty for a couple of seconds. Maybe there could be things you jump on top of, or maybe that's too much like bit.trip.runner. At any rate, this is better than my first solo game. Keep it up!
Sep 2 17:45:27 4m 44s Space Run ♥ 0 This is a runner like boson X or temple run, but ATM it feels very repetitive? I wish there was more to do.
Sep 3 08:24:25 14h 38m Brain's little symbiont ♥ 0 I have no idea how to rate this, but big mood haha
Sep 3 08:35:52 11m 27s Colony Builder ♥ 1 This got really frantic in the end. I like the balance.
Sep 3 08:42:59 7m 07s Getting Over Gold Hoarding ♥ 0 Neat idea, good take on the theme. Got a bit laggy before I died.
Sep 3 22:12:19 13h 29m LasersBot ♥ 0 Your game managed to start my firefox with only my page, eating my list of open tabs impressive! (This is not your fault, it's firefox) Otherwise good game.
Sep 4 08:03:25 9h 51m 2954: Robot Puzzler ♥ 0 Your game is impossible to play for on my screen because of the aspect ratio. I can't click the buttons.
Sep 4 08:11:00 7m 35s (Running) Flying out of space ♥ 0 There is no Linux build there at the link although you tagged it. I know I shouldn't score unrunnable entries, so I won't, but this is NOT OK.
Sep 4 08:42:29 31m 29s The Last Floe ♥ 0 It's like slime rancher, but with sexual reproduction.
Sep 4 08:49:54 7m 25s Robotron's Inventory Quest ♥ 0 Inventory management minigame!
Sep 4 08:52:48 2m 54s Ludam Dare 42: Lava Escape ♥ 1 Maybe I did something wrong, but this was *way* too hard right at the very beginning.
Sep 4 09:13:01 20m 13s Space Raze ♥ 1 the controls were awkward, and your logo on the resolution menu was to big i could not even select a resolution on my screen!
Sep 4 09:31:57 18m 56s Data Thief ♥ 0 This is really good. The first game of this LD where I think it could see a commercial release. The visuals gave off a vibe of Introversion Software and Mode7games
Sep 4 10:48:19 1h 16m Gulp ♥ 0 A strange game. The only winning move is not to eat cake
Sep 4 12:13:52 1h 25m Escape From Space Prison ♥ 1 Please make sound effetcs for my next game!
Sep 4 12:20:22 6m 30s Planet Escape ♥ 0 Solid entry with lots of content and a smooth difficulty curve!
Sep 4 13:56:32 1h 36m SERL: Space Empires RogueLike ♥ 0 There is no native linux build behind the linux link.
Sep 4 14:14:50 18m 18s Chief Data Engineer ♥ 0 At first I didn't even understand how this could be difficult, but then you surprised me with great puzzles! 5/5
Sep 4 14:21:12 6m 22s Mr Red Rectangle ♥ 0 I tried multiple downloads and multiple browsers. none worked...
Sep 4 14:51:02 29m 50s Finite Factory ♥ 0 I don't think it fits the theme that well, but I see what you were going for. It certainly wears its inspiration on its sleeve. I wish drawing conveyor belts was simpler
Sep 4 14:54:14 3m 12s Planet Complete ♥ 0 same thing, can't play
Sep 4 15:02:12 7m 58s Platformer - A Simple Platform Game ♥ 0 This is probably par for the course for a first Ludum Dare. The basic idea reminds me of Stalagfight on the OUYA (it's a good game mechanic!). You can make this a lot better if you tweak the numbers on the platforming a bit, and if you make sure you can't get stuck with your head on a higher platform so easily. I don't mean getting stuck forever and breaking the game, it's not that bad, just getting snagged on a corner can be really annoying. "Game feel" is really important when you make a platformer. It took me two years to learn game feel and pixel art after I started making games, and I already knew how to code. If you make a platformer for the next LD, work on your game feel and put just a little more variety in.
Sep 4 15:24:42 22m 30s Platform (LD42) ♥ 0 I had to move the asset files into a folder called "content" so the paths work, but then it ran on Linux
Sep 4 15:35:35 10m 53s Snake the platformer ♥ 0 It'S not snakebird, but racing against your own shadow. The idea is neat, but I'd love to know which platformer is which one (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
Sep 4 15:47:27 11m 52s Space Race Ace ♥ 0 link is still not working
Sep 4 15:57:47 10m 20s Chromadeath ♥ 0 Very Cyberpunk!
Sep 4 16:03:14 5m 27s Beyond Closed Doors ♥ 0 The lighting is either per-vertex or the normals are weird, and the physics of some of the tire stacks is always bugging out, but the theme usage idea is great!
Sep 4 17:22:39 1h 19m Bounce Block ♥ 0 crashed on me on Ubuntu 18.04 as well.
Sep 4 17:29:44 7m 05s Gariani - The GariBoy ♥ 1 I am German. I love me a game about recycling!
