Aug 13 06:38:51		House of Dog	♥ 1	I totally dig the pixel art. While the audio seems pretty minimal, the sounds that are in the game aren't bad. The game fits the theme very well, so good job on that! Overall, I think this is a nice little game!
Aug 14 05:34:57	22h 56m	Power Plant	♥ 1	I like the way you did the visuals-- they are simplistic but without being cheap. There's not much audio, but what you do have of it is decent. The game as a concept fits the theme, but I think maybe it could be done a little better. Although the flowers do take up room, I feel more like it's time I'm running out of and not necessarily space. This game felt a little too quick for me to enjoy it at first, because I felt like it ended before I could make any progress; however, that was probably because I was still learning the game. The difficulty was just enough to feel rewarding. All in all, this game is a good experience! It's something I would like to see be expanded upon in the future!
Aug 15 00:38:40	19h 03m	Spacebars	♥ 0	The visuals are appealing to me, I've always been fond of simplistic art styles like this. I think the music loop could be made more seamless. That said, however, I really like it! I think the sound effects are well done, too. You took a more creative route with the theme, and in my opinion, you did well at implementing the idea into the gameplay. I think it's somewhat innovative as well. The level of difficulty was just a little too much for me, and I couldn't make it past level 4. The jumping was tricky at first, because I didn't realize that double jumping sooner would make you go higher. If you made the fourth level just a little easier, I think the difficulty would be more well-balanced. All that being said, I had fun doing the first few levels, and I even enjoyed attempting level 4! Overall, I like this! It's a neat little game and I think it has a clever interpretation of the theme.
Aug 15 01:25:31	46m 51s	CRUMBLE	♥ 2	I really like the graphics-- I've always been big on simplistic pixel art, and in my opinion it was well done. The retro-sounding music is something I really like, and the sound effects are pretty good, too. This game, as an idea, fits the theme very well. Not only that, but you can actually feel it in the gameplay, too, so good job on that! I like the gameplay, it's fun and it's challenging enough that you feel accomplished for beating a level. For a lot of games, high scores don't really work and they feel forced; however, this game does the score in a way that makes it feel important, and I like that! Overall, I think this is a really good game!
Aug 15 02:14:18	48m 47s	Ludum Dare to be Messy!	♥ 0	This game has mostly basic 3D graphics. For a lot of games, I don't feel like that works well. In this game, though, I feel like you pulled it off in an appealing way! I think the audio is pretty good, and I like the voices-- they add a little humor to the game! I feel like the theme could've been implemented in a more effective way; but, the idea is somewhat innovative, and I like that. The game feels a little slow sometimes, so being able to move a little faster would be nice. Picking up the trash is a little difficult sometimes, so it would also be nice to have an increased pickup range. As a whole, this game is an interesting experience and I think it's a pretty creative concept! The gameplay is a little slow-paced and feels like it's working against the player just a little, but other than that I like it! Also, this is unrelated to the feedback, but I went to try the game again and it crashed. [Here's the log.](https://gist.github.com/HunterTowe/0aac6596d5d5c4944d16335c04e8d750#file-log-txt)
Aug 15 04:41:55	2h 27m	The Flesh Pit	♥ 1	The gameplay was well done. The difficulty wasn't too overwhelming nor too easy for enjoyment. I thought it was very fun getting a huge weapon and chucking it at the enemies, and honestly just killing them in general! You did well at incorporating the theme into your game. At first, I felt like blocks of gore were just kind of spawning everywhere; however, as I made it through more waves I really felt the area closing in! I also appreciate that you allow the players to destroy the flesh to clear room. That way, it's still fair. The visuals, in my opinion, are really good. The tiles and background look very nice. The style of the characters seems a little inconsistent, but with that said I still like them. I like the audio. The retro sound effects are pretty good and the background noise is somewhat unsettling and sets a mood for the game. This is a really neat game, and it's quite addicting. I would love to see a full version of this!
Aug 15 07:15:13	2h 33m	Beeb's Adventure	♥ 0	This is such a clever interpretation of the theme, and I love it! You run out of space, and it's as simple as that. So, I don't see any way this game couldn't fit the theme. The graphics are pretty good, overall. I like the way the background was done and I think the tiles look especially nice. Also, I really like the character animation. I like the music, it was well done and sounds upbeat, so good job in that regard! I think the gameplay is very good. It's difficult enough that I can't just run through the whole level, but it's not too hard, either. It's a good balance, in my opinion. I found the ending in this game rather amusing, so you actually did pretty decent with the humor aspect! Overall, I think this is a really interesting and entertaining game!
Aug 15 09:23:08	2h 07m	The Pit	♥ 1	I like the graphics. I think the sprite for the player could've been a little smoother and less jagged, but other than that everything is nice-- especially the crisp UI and text! I find the music rather catchy, so much that I'm a little disappointed it doesn't loop. Seriously, though, I liked it! The gameplay is fun and different from a lot of things I've seen. I do think that maybe you should increase the player's speed. Other than that, everything is good in my opinion. I didn't necessarily feel like I was running out of space, because it seemed like I could keep going upwards (however, I didn't make it very far, so let me know if I'm incorrect). With all that said, it still fits the theme pretty well! Overall, this is a fun little game! On a side note, congrats on completing your first Ludum Dare project-- it's definitely something to be proud of! :)
Aug 15 09:38:22	15m 14s	Filled to the Brim	♥ 1	I think the visuals were done very well. The music and sounds are pretty good. This is a neat concept and it fits the theme well. I think it was a little too difficult to get a really good score given how easy it was to get a bad one; however, it was still fun. Good job!
Aug 15 10:25:44	47m 22s	The National Library of Geometric Impossibilities	♥ 1	It was surprisingly fun filling the empty space in the bookshelves and being warped to different areas. To be totally honest, I only completed the first puzzle, and for the rest of the game I guessed the codes (I'll probably replay the game so I can have the full experience). The simplistic, pixel art style 3D graphics are very appealing to me, so good job on that. I think the game could've used some music or ambient background noise, but other than that the audio is pretty well done. I feel like the theme could've been used in a more effective way, but with that being said it's still an interesting interpretation. This game is a really interesting experience and something I thoroughly enjoyed. All in all, it's an excellent work!
Aug 16 03:21:09	16h 55m	Don't Drown	♥ 1	The theme was done really well-- not just the idea, but also the implementation of it into the game. The gameplay I think could be a little better if it was faster-paced, and perhaps had some checkpoints. With that being said, I still like it. I also like how I can really feel the water overwhelming me-- not only does it make me feel panicked watching that meter go down, but it also makes me feel like I'm running out of space as I get buried under the water. The visuals, although basic, aren't unappealing. I thought you did especially good on the water particles! Overall, I think this is a neat little game with an interesting concept!
Aug 16 04:32:59	1h 11m	Smoke: it's ok to feel	♥ 2	.
Aug 16 06:19:58	1h 46m	Sky Dare	♥ 2	The gameplay I think could be better if you used a smoother transition for the difficulty increase. It's also a little frustrating how getting hit will completely stun you, especially when there are lots of enemies and it seems nearly impossible to recover. The controls feel very smooth and mostly nonrestrictive, with the only exception being that the mouse can go outside the window if you're not careful. If you kept the mouse cursor from being able to exit the window, I think the controls would be perfect. The theme was implemented in an effective way. The player can rebuild the platform when they're not fighting, and when they are fighting the amount of space that's lost comes down to how much they get hit. While a more balanced level of difficulty would make this better in practice, it's still a pretty fair system. The graphics are rather appealing to me. The background is well done and the character designs are pretty good. The animation isn't too bad, either. I don't have anything very specific to note about the game as far as the visuals. Overall, there could be a few improvements gameplay-wise. With all that said, however, it's still a really fun game and I enjoyed playing it a lot!
Aug 16 07:54:54	1h 34m	UEDJ - A Crime-Solving Desk Job	♥ 1	The visuals, to me, were really appealing. The music, I thought, was actually pretty catchy and the sound effects were good. The theme was put to use in a rather interesting way, which I like. The gameplay was really fun, in my opinion. I found the puzzles to be engaging but without being too difficult. I honestly have nothing negative to note about this game-- it was all a really fun experience for me! I would definitely love to have a more full-scale version of this!
Aug 16 08:41:44	46m 50s	Void Incoming	♥ 2	The art style in this game is just the sort of thing I like. I will say, though, I think some of the round objects could look a little better if they were smoother and less jagged on the corners. Even then, they're still not bad. I think it's cool that the character design was Scott Cawthon inspired! The audio was well done. I like the retro sound effects, and I think the footstep sounds that are played while running are a really nice touch. The theme was used in an effective way. I constantly felt like I was running out of space, which means you did a pretty good job at incorporating the theme into the gameplay. The gameplay is quite fun. I think one thing that could be improved a little is the collision with the cannonballs. It's also a little hard to keep track of the cannonballs because they blend in perfectly with the walls-- those aren't really big problems, though. Overall, I think this is a pretty neat game!
Aug 16 09:16:06	34m 22s	Chef Frank's Franks	♥ 1	I'm just going to get straight to the point with this one-- I like it a lot! There's honestly nothing negative I have to say about it, and there aren't any specific improvements I can think of. The only thing I have to say is that I would love to have a larger version of this game!
Aug 16 09:53:13	37m 07s	Ink Flood	♥ 1	There are some things I noticed while playing: - The play button doesn't work unless the fading transition is done. - The intensity of the boost the TNT crates give you depends on whether or not you're holding the jump button. The play button is of course just a minor bug. In regards to the TNT crates, I think it would be nice to either have that detail explained in the instructions, or perhaps have them always apply the same force. Other than that, I really like this! I think the music is actually quite addicting and well made, although it would've been even better if we also had some in-game music. The graphics are really nice in my opinion, and while the text could be a little crisper and less blurry, it's still not bad. The use of the theme in this game was especially good. All in all, this was a fun little game! Good work!
Aug 16 11:56:13	2h 03m	Storage Almost Full	♥ 0	This is a really neat game! It's a bit difficult for me, but I like a good challenge. Overall, good work! Also, I'm just throwing this out there, but I think a good Android port of this game would be awesome!
Aug 16 12:36:26	40m 13s	Boop's Space Adventure	♥ 0	I agree with pretty much everything @zeriver said. The game is a bit too difficult, and checkpoints would probably help that a lot. The ending was pure gold, in my opinion! All in all, the game was pretty good! All it really needs is some sound effects and a good difficulty balance.
Aug 16 13:07:09	30m 43s	Snow Day	♥ 1	My only complaint is that sometimes I had to click a lot to remove the snow. I'm not sure if it's some sort of strange bug or just a design choice, but I think changing that would make the gameplay feel less interrupted. Other than that, I really enjoyed this peculiar game!
Aug 16 13:42:41	35m 32s	EVOLUTION	♥ 1	The visuals in this game are great! The music felt a little repetitive after a certain point, but other than that the audio is pretty good. I felt more like the amount of space was limited, and not necessarily like I was running out of room, if that makes sense. So, I feel like the theme could've been implemented in a more effective way. The message in this game was interesting, to say the least. Overall, this game was a very interesting experience and it was really well made!
Aug 17 11:42:41	22h 00m	Zlinx	♥ 0	I like the visuals in this game, especially those fancy jump particles! They did seem to spawn out of place or randomly sometimes (probably a bug?), but they look good, nonetheless! I thought the music was really calming, although it would've been nice to have it play over the whole game, rather than restarting upon death or level completion. The theme I thought was used pretty effectively, and I like how on some levels it's the walls that are closing in on you, but on other levels you mix it up and have the water start rising-- it kept things interesting! The levels were designed quite well. I never felt like I was flying through them, but I didn't feel frustrated either (then again, maybe it was just that music keeping me calm). Seriously though, I felt like it was a really good balance of difficulty! Overall, this was an interesting game, and very fun to play. Good work!
