| Aug 13 11:19:28 | Claustrophobia | ♥ 1 | Quick to pick-up and play, it has a lovely simplicity to it that all LD games should embrace! It's certainly something I myself struggle to pull off! You've done a great job for your first jam! Congratulations 😁 | |
| Aug 27 13:10:46 | 337h 51m | Bee-rilliant Farm | ♥ 0 | Awesome! Strange how I always happen to find a game that can take over 30 minutes to complete. Had fun though, even if that incessant beeping was a little annoying 😛 Graphics very cute and consistent, gameplay fun with lots of depth and the theme fits perfectly with the beehives constantly running out of space, great game! 👍 |
| Aug 27 13:26:37 | 15m 51s | Cluster | ♥ 1 | A little repetitive but overall an incredibly well polished game! The art and animation are incredible and that dude on the other side of the screen is perfectly creepy. Overall great job, well done 👍 |
| Aug 27 13:36:02 | 9m 25s | Stepping Stones | ♥ 0 | Love the concept! Levels are nice but perhaps in the wrong order as I found the middle levels a lot harder than a few of the later ones. Although you can make of that what you will as everyone has different experiences 😛 Graphics and audio fit nicely together although a few sound effects were a bit loud and high pitched (something I've made the mistake of doing in past game jams) which can get a little annoying after a while. Controls were responsive and it's a great twist on the theme! Great job overall, well done 👍 |
| Aug 27 15:49:07 | 2h 13m | Farmageddon | ♥ 0 | Incredible! Took me a few hours to pay off the debt (day 77! I struggled with the weed control at the start 😛 ) and I was a little disappointed nothing happened but honestly, the systems you got in place for this are amazing and worked flawlessly. While the GFX are not 100% complete, what is there is very good and I'd love to see a more polished version with perhaps an upgrade to get rid of weeds a bit faster as that was quite painful. Great audio and intuitive controls also! Superb job! 👍 |
| Aug 27 16:02:07 | 13m 00s | Pre Alpha Build | ♥ 2 | Awesome game! Overall one of the best I've played yet. 😀 Art is superb, lots of different assets, well animated and all consistent in style, awesome! Audio incredible, fits well and builds a great atmosphere. Gameplay fun and interesting with a nice difficulty curve to keep you going back. My one gripe was being unable to place buildings over enemies as once a lot of enemies were in your base, there was very little you could do to counter them. Theme is clearly great here as I was indeed constantly running out of space! Who would've thought! 👍 |
| Aug 27 16:22:30 | 20m 23s | FIREBALL | ♥ 1 | Awesome little game! Had a mate round to play it and it was great however I imagine it would be better with more than 2 players. An online version would be great (hint hint, nudge nudge). I didn't catch your first day stream and I'm surprised that graphics isn't an option for voting... I swear I saw you making anims and the wizard variants. Either way, the art is great! Always fun watching your stream while participating, great job as usual! 👍 |
| Aug 27 16:37:02 | 14m 32s | [REDUCE:REUSE] | ♥ 0 | This is great! It's a bit like my game, but with a purpose and win condition, well done! The art is nice and simple, but the player blends a bit too much into the environment, perhaps a darker metal would help him pop a bit more. The movement felt fluid, but the turn delay made it a bit awkward when over-whelmed with blocking and having to turn a lot. It makes the game harder but at the cost of giving the player RSI. Other than those fairly minor issues, I had a lot of fun. It has great potential for expansion and is very re-playable 😀 |
| Aug 27 17:11:17 | 34m 15s | Space Escape | ♥ 1 | success2.png Took about 16 minutes... Let's just say I play recklessly... Great game! Simple mechanics with an awesome difficulty curve and very cute retro graphics & audio. |
| Aug 27 17:20:50 | 9m 33s | Dilan vs. Trees | ♥ 0 | Love the retro style! My only issue was the repetitiveness of the flamethrower, it gets grating when you're essentially firing it constantly. The bend reality upgrade took me off guard but made me feel like a god, so that was pretty sick! Overall, had a great time playing this game, well done! 👍 |
| Aug 27 19:04:19 | 1h 43m | SpaceLab 42 | ♥ 0 | I generally agree with the majority of feedback everyone else has written, but to further explain why this seems to be the general consensus... People who participate in Ludum Dare are generally focusing on gameplay and how interesting things can be done with the theme. What you've created, while impressive, isn't doing any of that. It seems like more video-editing went into this then programming, which is a strange approach to making a game. First you make the game and test if it is fun, then you make the promotional material. That being said, the video alone would look quite impressive on a resume (although they may be put off as the game can be completed in under 20 seconds...) Either way, the important part is that you learnt something while working on this and had a lot of fun 😀 |
| Aug 27 19:27:17 | 22m 58s | The City Of Forgotten Toys | ♥ 1 | Haha! The music was inspirational 🎵 that'll be stuck in my head for a while 😛 Interesting graphics, what I've found during my time doing Ludum Dare is that limitations improve things by a surprising amount! - Use smaller assets (16x16 pixels or maybe 32x32) - Colour palette of maybe 8 or so colours - Consistent style and limited pixel scaling Those are the rules I live by anyway, and my average art score throughout all my jams/compos is around 4 stars, so I guess it works 😛 The mood and humour were superb, I hope you learnt a lot on your first LD, I sure did on mine 😀 great job! |
| Aug 30 11:40:29 | 64h 13m | You May Live (YML) | ♥ 2 | Great game! Wasn't too difficult but I sure enjoyed the twists towards the end but they did little to hinder me. I don't know if you have things going on under the hood, but a morality stat/meter would add a lot more depth! |
| Aug 30 11:51:32 | 11m 03s | You Wanna Pizza Me? | ♥ 0 | Awesome! Very comical and the music and art style were very fitting 😀 Not sure if there were further levels as the homing pizza deliveries were a challenge to avoid when the body stacked up 😛 but a few more levels would've been nice to see as the early enemies got a bit repetitive when I knew where they were coming from. Either way, great game! 👍 |
| Aug 30 12:03:51 | 12m 19s | They Came while I was jogging | ♥ 1 | First of all... Ow my ears 😛 Wasn't expecting that when I opened it up, although that being said, the music was great! The gameplay is a bit strange and it may be because of the controls. In a game where you move around, you sort of expect to hold down the keys, by only tapping the direction I got stuck on walls quite a bit more than I usually would have. The drastic camera angle changes between each level also felt a bit odd as the graphics being fairly minimal suffered from either being too small or too big. Overall fairly solid and the premise is very comical, grat job 👍 |
| Aug 31 12:07:41 | 24h 03m | Owned By | ♥ 1 | Fantastic mood and lovely graphics! Such a great style and it all fit together superbly. Game play could be a bit frustrating, but I didn't lose but I suspect I had only a few eyes left to open. Those eyes were creepy. Running seemed a little redundant as there was never a reason to not run? Unless there was an energy bar that I missed, hmm, that's quite likely now I think about it. I didn't kill it, you made it too cute 😢 |
| Aug 31 12:19:48 | 12m 07s | Shrinking Universe | ♥ 1 | Was confused at first as shooting seemed impossible, looks like there's an issue playing in fullscreen 😛 Once that was solved I found spamming the asteroids was the best method, but I may have done more damage to myself than the planets did to me. My best in the end was 2:20 and I died with my black hole and star still as I was saving them for a tight spot, but a I said earlier, I mostly damaged my self and it's difficult to fight against your own stupidity. Really great game, everything really nice and polished and the star effect was beautiful. Great job 😀 |
| Sep 1 11:20:30 | 23h 00m | Get To The Airlock | ♥ 2 | Overall a solid game but the game play on the last level was a little annoying. The spikes do so much damage they might as well be insta-kill as you won't have enough air to make it the rest of the way. The graphics are nice and consistent with lots of variety, so great job! Audio is minimal but adds to the atmosphere well and the first time I gasped for air I genuinely looked around thinking someone near me was choking 😛 Great job 👍 |
