| Aug 14 12:29:49 | Colony | ♥ 1 | Nice work! Graphics/gameplay and sound design fit in very well together. Well done. | |
| Aug 14 12:39:13 | 9m 24s | Trial by Fire | ♥ 2 | Great concept! Mechanics are well implemented, level design solid. Challenging but fair, as the sword movement is slow but keeps you from feeling overpowered. However, graphics, mainly typography, are lacking polish. Audio needs work, especially the music which is far too repetitive. Keep it up though! With a few tweaks this would be a great entry. |
| Aug 14 12:53:24 | 14m 11s | CRAMMM: Totally Accurate Studying Simulator | ♥ 1 | Great fun! Try to vary the music a little, as it gets repetitive. Everything else, bravo! |
| Aug 14 13:06:35 | 13m 11s | Block Smash - Ludum Dare 42 Entry | ♥ 1 | Looking good! Would have liked the ability to move up/down as well as left/right. Then maybe some moving obstacles for maximum punishment :) Great start! |
| Aug 14 13:13:35 | 7m 00s | The Adventures of Stickman in Macrosoft Doors! | ♥ 0 | Good concept! I liked the voices, ads and the overall level design! I found the controls a little too clunky though. Difficult to control especially with long jumps. Overall, Well done! |
| Aug 14 13:35:11 | 21m 36s | Hope of Humanity is done.. 1st Successful LD | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept! Good variety and a definite challenge. |
| Aug 14 16:12:45 | 2h 37m | Compression | ♥ 1 | I liked it. Especially the distorted effect when you die several times to make it more difficult. Those damn balls! |
| Aug 14 16:17:27 | 4m 42s | Collapsing Space | ♥ 0 | Made me realise I suck at typing! good challenge! Graphics could do with a little work and the sound design, but great work! |
| Aug 14 18:56:39 | 2h 39m | Zlinx | ♥ 0 | A very good start. The game itself is very punishing but rewarding. Controls are smooth but I found some of the sideways spikes a little off, dying when I was sure I cleared them. Interesting choice of music in the first level! the polar opposite of what you'd expect from such a frantic game. It works in an ironic kind of way! Good work overall! |
| Aug 14 19:12:06 | 15m 27s | DAMN! A Really Tiny, Insecure Ship | ♥ 1 | Great game. I really liked the art style and overall design. I felt that the levels were either too easy or too hard, one of the smaller more confined rooms with loads of enemies and lasers. Would be nice to see some weapon upgrades to help deal with all those groups of enemies. Almost has a metroidvania kinda vibe to it, which I appreciate. I found the loading screens a little too much, definitely vary it a little. SFX were well done. Music on the whole was fitting, however one of the music tracks/parts was grating the one with the voice that repeats. Lose/change that part and it's on point. Definitely one of my favourite entries so far. Well done. |
| Aug 14 19:29:33 | 17m 27s | Eventful Horizon | ♥ 1 | Serious kudos to you all. Very well designed overall and a unique concept. Definitely one of my favourite entries so far! :) |
| Aug 14 19:37:11 | 7m 38s | The Long Road | ♥ 1 | Some music would have helped to give more life to the game! SFX worked well though. The numbers in combat were confusing and I just ended up clicking randomly. Maybe a little tutorial would help players understand the mechanics better. Great artwork! |
| Aug 14 19:44:26 | 7m 15s | Rainforest | ♥ 2 | Beautiful artwork! Very eye-catching. The audio needs a complete overhaul, however. Music does not loop smoothly, nor fit properly and FX are unbalanced. Removing the music would be better than how it currently is. The controls could be improved. Nice logo! :) |
| Aug 14 19:58:51 | 14m 25s | Last Shot | ♥ 1 | very difficult game, perhaps too much for me! Cool concept though, with some further development in graphics and sound this could be a great android game! |
| Aug 14 21:28:13 | 1h 29m | Crystal Invasion | ♥ 1 | Fantastic. The concept is excellent and very well put together. Beautiful artwork. Sound effects are very well done. A couple of critiques.. I lost control of the character a couple of times and ended up in the sea! Wasn't sure if this was intentional after being hit but it seemed that the controls locked. The battle music should be a little more upbeat to fit the frantic nature of the game. I didn't see the danger of ground being destroyed by the bombs, as I could walk through the sea no problem. Only small things though, well done! |
| Aug 15 09:15:14 | 11h 47m | Running Out from space to Live | ♥ 1 | More instructions needed. Took me a few tries to figure out that you can double jump. Work on your sound sets and music. And give us time to move before getting eaten! |
| Aug 15 12:53:18 | 3h 38m | Pre Alpha Build | ♥ 1 | Good game! Very well put together in all aspects. One of my favorite entries so far :) |
| Aug 16 10:13:55 | 21h 20m | Personal Space | ♥ 1 | The controls are a little confusing. it would be better to give much freer control of the character. Interesting concept, definitely unique. With some polish this could be a very good game! |
| Aug 16 10:19:38 | 5m 43s | Crystalmancer | ♥ 0 | Excellent entry. palette swap was a nice touch! I found the weapon swap a little difficult, so maybe a different key for each weapon as others have suggested. Very challenging! Well done. |
| Aug 16 10:23:22 | 3m 44s | Catching Sushi! | ♥ 1 | Although I don't like sushi I enjoyed your game! Very nice art and animations. Definitely add a timer, as others have said, to turn up the heat a little. Good entry, well done. |
| Aug 16 10:31:09 | 7m 47s | Detox | ♥ 1 | Awesome! Not sure how someone reached 96000 points!?! I got to around 500.... I'm gonna go try for the 1000 mark now. My only complaint is the lack of music, it would've been nice for the music to tie in dynamically with the point multiplier. Lots of potential there for that. Graphics and FX tie in very well.job well done! |
| Aug 16 10:39:22 | 8m 13s | Encumbered - Deckbuilding Inventory Action | ♥ 0 | Beautiful graphics and a unique concept. I'm disappointed that there's no music/sound! That could've added so much more to the game. Also, some in-game instructions would help players understand better. Excellent work though, keep at it! |
| Aug 16 11:28:58 | 49m 36s | Falling Ecosystem | ♥ 0 | excellent concept and implementation. The only thing missing is music! |
| Aug 16 11:32:22 | 3m 24s | .S | ♥ 0 | Great game. Only missing FX and music! |
| Aug 16 11:41:28 | 9m 06s | EVOLUTION | ♥ 1 | Excellent. Great artwork and sound design. Well done. |
| Aug 16 17:17:34 | 5h 36m | Get Comfortable | ♥ 0 | Hilarious. I loved it! |
| Aug 16 17:40:48 | 23m 14s | CRUMBLE | ♥ 2 | Nice work! Once I figured out how it works, the turn based element, it all made sense! Very enjoyable game, everything came together nicely :) |
| Aug 16 17:47:35 | 6m 47s | Space Invasion | ♥ 0 | Great work! I like the added abilities and the option to skip levels, for terrible gamers like myself. Well done. |
| Aug 16 18:02:46 | 15m 11s | SpaceRunner | ♥ 1 | Nice graphics! certainly challenging, but the levels are short enough to encourage a replay, even after dying several times! I liked the concept. I thought the music was a little too slow for such a frantic fast paced game. It fits the menu very well, but it would've been nice to see variation when the gameplay starts. Theres also a really heavy rumbling when the level kicks in that is detracting. I'm testing it in my studio and had to turn my subs off as they were booming so much! SFX were great, same issue with the rocket though. Only minor things though, well done with the game! Good luck to you all. |
| Aug 16 18:38:39 | 35m 53s | Evolucity - Build as high as you can! | ♥ 1 | Nice one! I would have liked the ability to place buildings behind ones I already placed, or to be able to rotate the camera, unless I missed this feature. Very fun game that matched the theme well. |
| Aug 17 12:17:01 | 17h 38m | Claustrophobia | ♥ 1 | Brilliant job! Loved it. Just add music and FX for that extra polish. maybe some more levels as well. Bravo :) |
| Aug 17 13:20:36 | 1h 03m | XORN: The Fallen God | ♥ 2 | Great fun to play and beautiful graphics, well done. Sadly the HTML version crashed my computer, but downloadable one worked fine. |
| Aug 17 14:13:35 | 52m 59s | There is Never Enough Space!!! | ♥ 1 | Good one! I would personally hide my butt files in a folder that is a little more discreetly named though... |
| Aug 17 14:20:38 | 7m 03s | Edge Of Space | ♥ 1 | Loved it!!! Sound and visuals perfectly matched. Very challenging yet addictive! |
| Aug 17 15:33:09 | 1h 12m | Loneliness | ♥ 2 | Wow! Loved it! Very atmospheric and creepy. Keep working on it! |
| Aug 17 17:41:17 | 2h 08m | Zachary's Memory | ♥ 1 | Nice work! beautiful art work, brilliant sound design. |
| Aug 17 17:46:32 | 5m 15s | TrackBlasters | ♥ 1 | Nice work! I enjoyed riding around blowing everything up, but wasn't sure what the win conditions were... art/music were very well suited together. Well done, excellent entry,. |
| Aug 17 18:56:03 | 1h 09m | A Sinking Feeling | ♥ 1 | Great start! Would be cool to see this developed further! Get some decent music in there and some other survival elements and you'll have an awesome game |
| Aug 17 21:48:26 | 2h 52m | Super Responsible Parent | ♥ 1 | brilliant! funny and addictive. well done! |
| Aug 17 21:58:14 | 9m 48s | Better Than Thanos | ♥ 1 | Check that the audio is looping properly, there is a slight skip as it returns. Keep working on it, it's a great concept! Adding extra variables to the challenge might help to vary the gameplay, as well as other forms of defence to give the clicking hand a break! |
| Aug 17 22:03:49 | 5m 35s | Stax of the Dead | ♥ 1 | challenging! very nice concept. I think it would work better if the dead enemies blocked enemy shots, which might add a little more of a tactical element to the game, i.e. destroy cover for points or use it for defence etc. Graphics look great except lettering/typography and background. hand drawn would fit your design a lot better. Well done, good start and solid entry :) |
| Aug 20 10:02:11 | 59h 58m | Gunning Out Of Space | ♥ 0 | Awesome! For future development, i would consider including some form of upgrade system/powerups to help deal with large groups of enemies. e.g. shotgun/rocket launcher/penetrating weapon like a laser that cuts through lines of enemies. I would also create music that fits the game a little better, i.e. faster paced to match the gameplay, and several tracks for different levels etc. Perhaps consider adding multiplayer? Having an extra player would help with enemies but also punish hard when two players miss the target! Definitely in my top 10 that I've played so far, well done. |
| Aug 21 20:02:20 | 34h 00m | The Subway: horror within | ♥ 0 | The art is incredible for such a short jam. Damn! There's room for expansion in terms of gameplay (you could even reuse the art in a much bigger game). It fits the theme well and is full of character. Well done! |
| Aug 23 20:51:49 | 48h 49m | California Jane | ♥ 1 | Well done! Beautiful graphics. Music excellent but a few more needed for variety. One of the lead synths in the score felt a little out of place for me, maybe just bring it down in the mix or -8ve. FX are the best I've heard yet in a LD game, well done. There weren't many other issues I noticed at all except some of the text instructions didn't fit the screen, the one where you're told to reset time if failed. I also found the character unresponsive at times which would lead me to overpress buttons leading to mistakes. Minor tweaks. Awesome game. Nicely done. |
| Aug 24 18:45:53 | 21h 54m | Misadventures of Crowley Flatcheeks | ♥ 2 | Awesome game. Really quite mesmerising to play, and see how the world ends up! Well done. |
| Aug 25 10:30:21 | 15h 44m | Anxiety | ♥ 1 | nice work. The game is very short but you have a decent concept to work with and turn into a larger game. Some more work can be done audio-wise, like music that responds to the thoughts as well as things like whispers and laughter that creep in as anxiety increases. |
| Aug 25 12:33:17 | 2h 02m | SunnyLand | ♥ 1 | Beautiful game. Your victory theme sounded somewhat familiar ;) The jump sound was a little too loud. Perhaps give the player something else to do to best utilise those amazing graphics/animations, and make level screen transitions a little more understandable! |
| Aug 30 08:21:17 | 115h 48m | Pizza Defender | ♥ 1 | Nice one! Cool art and a great concept. Fits the theme very well. Some music/FX will help bring this to life even more. Bravo! |
