| Aug 29 09:19:51 | No Space In My Stomach | ♥ 2 | Fun art style and relaxing yet thoughtful gameplay. Background music is pleasant, but pretty loud. Clever level designs, too. Nice work! | |
| Aug 29 09:32:12 | 12m 21s | XORN: The Fallen God | ♥ 1 | Excellent visual polish on this game! I had a bit of trouble getting used to the interactions between the hero and the enemies, both hitting and being hit, but overall a really cool entry! Nice job! |
| Aug 29 09:53:46 | 21m 34s | UNTIL I RUN OUT OF SPACE | ♥ 1 | This game is beautiful. The ambient and honest acoustic guitar performance helps support the thoughtful narrative as you go through life trying to make your dreams come true. |
| Aug 29 10:56:57 | 1h 03m | WearOut | ♥ 0 | I like the audio! Gameplay concept is not too shabby, but could have a little more to it! Fun game, thanks guys, and congrats! |
| Aug 29 11:02:32 | 5m 35s | Space Crusher | ♥ 2 | Really nice little game! Character movement is smooth and enjoyable and the concept is a nice use of the theme. |
| Aug 29 11:21:02 | 18m 30s | Shrink | ♥ 0 | A nice simple concept that can definitely be entrancing. It reminds me of a few other mobile games I've seen, but hey it's super effective! Music and art would add, of course, but this is a great reminder that games don't have to be complex to be fun. Nice work! |
| Aug 29 21:12:25 | 9h 51m | CapyBarbra: A New Brow | ♥ 1 | @Ratherjolly definitely a hilarious entry, man! The difficulty gets pretty hard pretty quick, so it's hard to last too long, but definitely got a chuckle out of it. Funny intro too! |
| Aug 29 21:18:43 | 6m 18s | Electric Sleep | ♥ 1 | @Uncannyvalley I've never really played text-based games before, but I have to say, the style of this one is really cool. I got a bit lost in the menus, I think it may be useful to have a bit more instruction there as far as possible commands. But pretty sweet! Love the cyberpunk immersion. I will come back and play some more after I rate a few more games. Solid entry! |
| Aug 30 08:39:58 | 11h 21m | Bath Time | ♥ 1 | A fun and cute use of Unity Rigidbodies in a game geared toward the mobile platform. It still kinda works on a desktop, though! Nice. |
| Aug 30 08:54:19 | 14m 21s | Camp Snuggle | ♥ 1 | Great proof that a simple concept can be fun. I think I need to learn from this small scope; I always scope too large. Interesting layering of the vocals in the BG track too-- again, not what I would do, but has an interesting appeal. Nice work. |
| Aug 31 04:52:07 | 19h 57m | Character Assassin | ♥ 0 | My girlfriend and I had a fun time playing this little game together. Interesting idea-- it really tested our communication abilities. :) |
| Aug 31 18:03:59 | 13h 11m | Placeholder | ♥ 3 | @pov Thanks Mike for all your work. This has been my first Ludum Dare and it's been a really fun experience! |
| Aug 31 19:24:09 | 1h 20m | Running Out Of Spice | ♥ 1 | An awesome little space racer game! Love the particle effects and graphics in general. The Unity post-processing is a nice touch too. Jammin soundtrack too! Great work guys! |
| Aug 31 19:34:32 | 10m 23s | Upwards | ♥ 1 | A really fun game. Coming from a dev to always likes to overcomplicate things (me), I can really appreciate a deceptively simple game. Just further proves that simpler is sometimes better. Great work! |
| Aug 31 19:56:19 | 21m 47s | Pianobots | ♥ 1 | Definitely an innovative approach to the theme! Nice work on the compositions-- that had to be a challenge making it the right difficulty and level of complexity. |
| Aug 31 20:33:02 | 36m 43s | AGAIN | ♥ 1 | Great immersive mood and ambience. The music track is stellar. I do wish the gameplay had a bit more to it, although I think the shifting maze concept is clever. Was that tough to code? Overall, the aesthetic is the real draw here! |
| Sep 1 07:09:03 | 10h 36m | Pyramidion | ♥ 1 | Nice use of the theme! A simple concept for a game that actually goes a long way. Artwork was not bad, gameplay made sense. Good work! |
| Sep 1 07:17:08 | 8m 05s | The Red pixel | ♥ 1 | @crafty-mine I love platformers! I made one for LD42, as well. In some ways, yours is more forgiving than mine, in some ways, not. I do like how you give the player a "free hit" with the half-heart icon, and allow them to start off roughly where they died. The gameplay reminds me a bit of "Celeste." Nice level/puzzle designs and the jump and wall jump feel good. Could use some graphics updates and sound but I'm sure you know that already. Nice job! Good start for a 2D platformer/puzzler. |
| Sep 1 07:21:30 | 4m 22s | Power Ports & Pollution | ♥ 0 | No clue how this game works, sorry. I tried. |
| Sep 1 07:30:54 | 9m 24s | Get To The Airlock | ♥ 2 | As a big fan of spikes in 2D games, of course I'm board with this one. The placement of both the collectibles and the hazards force players to make quick decisions, which of course is great. Player choice is crucial. Take your time versus greed rush. Nice work. Overall a really nice game. If I had small criticism it would be maybe a better UI indicator of your "health" aka O2. That's being nitpicky though. Really solid entry, guys, nice work! |
| Sep 1 07:44:14 | 13m 20s | Wherehouse | ♥ 0 | Really interesting idea! Took me quite a few tried to figure out what was going on; maybe I'm slower or less inventive than most. Not sure. I like the concept a lot, though. I realize that part of the puzzle and the challenge is remembering where you've put everything, as well as guessing how high to throw things, but perhaps a few more visual cues to help people see what's going on would help. But overall a really interesting and unique concept and can certainly appreciate that! Great entry, @salamichild! |
| Sep 1 07:55:03 | 10m 49s | Rick Dervish - Space Cadet | ♥ 1 | I'm a massive fan of shmups / bullet hell games, so I automatically love this based on genre. The control of the ship felt decent, firing rate felt ok (maybe could be a bit faster but less powerful-- seems more exciting while still doing same DPS), and enemies not too bad either! I've always been fascinated with the different firing patterns of the enemies in these types of games-- they really add to the experience and force the player to learn and react, which I feel like is crucial. You seem to have done a good job implementing some of these firing patterns! I played this game longer than some others. Perhaps graphics could use some love, but overall, certainly a fun game. I really appreciate your entry, nice work! |
| Sep 1 08:06:48 | 11m 45s | ForestDefence | ♥ 1 | Nice use of the isometric view with a voxel graphic style-- I like! The use of the stealth/FOV element for the enemies was cool, too. As a huge fan of natural ambient sound, I automatically loved that, too. I felt like the dynamic between the lion and the "cutters" could be a little more interesting, like the movement rate not being exactly the same, or some other variable in there. But overall a very pleasing little game that's easy to learn and easy to replay if you die. Very solid entry, @lunardust! |
| Sep 1 08:22:52 | 16m 04s | HUBOTS | ♥ 1 | My inner Starcraft geek-self is very happy with this one! I very much like the art style and the concept. I really like the way you can assign "waypoints" to each robot by using shift+right click, though I admit I didn't learn how to do it very well in this game. Regardless, a fun concept to be able to plan ahead for your units in RTS games like this. A nice LD42 entry, very solid!! |
| Sep 1 08:36:13 | 13m 21s | Garbage Collector | ♥ 0 | Really cool game! Definitely had me rushing around like a mad man! Found a little bug (which may already be known). During the tutorial phase at the beginning, when it says "hold the button to throw further," if you don't do that, it seems to get stuck in a loop where only one box spawns, or at least at seemed like it for me. Guess I should've followed directions. :) A really nice game though, graphics were simple but cool and audio was stressful which seemed to fit. Overall, nice work! |
| Sep 1 08:41:47 | 5m 34s | The Okinawan Samourai | ♥ 1 | Reminds me a little bit of "Kung Fu" from the classic Nintendo days. I have to say, the controls need work. A simple Left/Right/Spacebar would have sufficed, I think. Cool retro graphics and styling, though, definitely a fan of that. |
| Sep 1 09:02:57 | 21m 10s | Prog-Jet vs Guardians | ♥ 1 | Classic Tron, of course. Looks familiar! ;) This concept for a game goes way back to the old days too, but it's definitely fun to see it in a 3D format, especially with the additions of the player abilities. Nice entry!! |
| Sep 1 09:36:50 | 33m 53s | Bunnymark | ♥ 0 | The gameplay almost feels a bit "chess-like" as both player and opponent make choices in a strategic, timed fashion. Deinitely has a RTS game vibe due to this as well, forcing the player to make choices as time progresses. I wish the enemies were more easily identified. Maybe a red health bar vs a yellow one? Nice work overall! |
| Sep 1 09:55:23 | 18m 33s | PhoneBreaker | ♥ 1 | Nice game! I'm curious how the math works behind the number of texts per person over time! A fun entry. |
| Sep 1 10:08:44 | 13m 21s | Stax of the Dead | ♥ 1 | This was really fun! Kind of a mash up between Space Invaders and Candy Crush, maybe?! Something like that, haha! At any rate, nice work on the design, and great use of the theme. Cheers! |
| Sep 1 20:50:58 | 10h 42m | Changing spaces | ♥ 1 | Definitely a really fun game! I like how you can kill yourself with your own bullets. A really solid entry for being so simple and for not having much time. I'm learning a lot this Ludum Dare about how simplicity can actually be a huge advantage as long as the core design of a game is fun. Nice work @shakedimus! |
| Sep 1 21:04:08 | 13m 10s | Bunny Ice Cream Maker | ♥ 1 | Hilarious! Is that an audio recording of your voice? How do you win? Interesting game, I may have nightmares now... ;) |
| Sep 1 21:19:56 | 15m 48s | Petris | ♥ 1 | A cute spin on the Russian classic. My girlfriend thought the artwork and pet theme was really cute. Funny sound effects too! Was it hard to code a Tetris clone? Might be fun to try. Game played well. Nice work! |
| Sep 1 21:48:18 | 28m 22s | Tower of Destiny | ♥ 1 | Very cool first entry! Reminds me of the old Zelda / Aghanhim fights a little bit. Tried to chase the wizard down but I guess that's not the proper strategy since he can infinitely teleport. Fun little game, man, nice work! I like the 8-bit audio too. |
| Sep 1 22:05:23 | 17m 05s | The Gargoyle Landing | ♥ 1 | I like the fast movement of the player and the fast response of the gun. The enemy tiles look really cool too! Nice concept for a game. I'm glad the music is kind of relaxing, otherwise I might've lost my mind. Solid entry! |
| Sep 1 22:12:36 | 7m 13s | Dark plague | ♥ 1 | @geck0 Really solid entry man! The graphics are a lot of fun and so is the gameplay. I got pretty good at it, but eventually I found myself freaking out and spamming both mouse buttons! Probably not the best strategy. Nice work! |
| Sep 1 22:20:02 | 7m 26s | Not Enough Space in Space | ♥ 0 | Nice game! I love shooters, so if I could have actually manually been shooting, I think I would have liked that better. An interesting use of the theme. A little more polish and letting the player actually shoot may make it even more fun. Good work! |
| Sep 1 22:33:57 | 13m 55s | Get Off My Space | ♥ 0 | Solid entry man! The music is pretty rockin-- I like it! The fact that you can't move over where the tractors have been is a nice use of the theme, and shooting the tractors is pretty satisfying. Overall a nice game! |
| Sep 1 22:44:58 | 11m 01s | Pusher | ♥ 0 | Interesting game! Are the levels randomly generated? As some others have said, some actual design may be helpful, but I'm sure it was a time-related thing. Overall though, a fun little entry. Nice work! |
| Sep 2 00:07:48 | 1h 22m | PushtA | ♥ 2 | Hey @larzan nice work on this little puzzler! Concept was pretty cool, like ChicomCastro said it may make a good mobile game! Nice job! |
| Sep 2 00:31:22 | 23m 34s | City Gardener | ♥ 1 | I got 850 my first time! Your graphics, animations, and vibe are really great, @pacochan! The concept is fun too. Once I realized you could start the progress bars and then move away and do something else, it definitely got a lot more fast paced. Clever use of the theme, and again, great art and vibe! Awesome work man! |
| Sep 2 00:38:24 | 7m 02s | Ghost Cleaner | ♥ 1 | @akai-0okami Great and cute little game! Very light hearted music really matches the friendly ghost vibe, and the use of the theme was very well done. Excellent work! P.S. Who leaves pizza in the bathroom?? Haha! :) |
| Sep 2 01:00:58 | 22m 34s | Knight's Crush | ♥ 0 | @zaphire Loved the graphics and animations! Definitely the best part of the game for me. I found the movement / camera controls a little hard to get the hang of, maybe that could use a little polishing, or maybe I could just use some more practice. Nice entry! |
| Sep 2 01:20:56 | 19m 58s | Grave Heart | ♥ 2 | A really solid entry guys! The store adds some complexity to the game, the graphics are nice, hilarious voice acting and comedy across the board. Great work! |
| Sep 2 03:39:34 | 2h 18m | Grid Locked | ♥ 0 | Really nice work man! A simple but addictive game! The UI has plenty of "juice," the score counting up, the text pulsating, screen fading in/out, fairly simple stuff to do probably but adds a lot. Great entry! |
| Sep 2 04:03:58 | 24m 24s | Dash Brawler | ♥ 0 | Great retro aesthetic here! I like the polish with the intro, dialogue, ending, etc. Definitely a completed game! Perhaps a bit easy, but that may be better than it being too hard. Nicely done! |
| Sep 2 04:40:17 | 36m 19s | Blowup | ♥ 1 | Not a bad concept, although after awhile it feels a bit like watching a simulator than playing a game, since there's nothing the player can do while the ball is bouncing around within a screen full of blocks. Perhaps adding one more gameplay element that would allow the player to do something during this time may be helpful in the future. Cool soundtrack. Overall nice work! |
| Sep 2 04:55:45 | 15m 28s | Flash Flush | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea for a game! I actually found the audio and the rising / falling of the water strangely relaxing. |
| Sep 2 07:34:32 | 2h 38m | The Subway: horror within | ♥ 0 | Fantastic art and music. A great use of the theme! Gameplay is not bad, has some fun elements regarding when to use what. Overall fantastic work!! Extremely solid entry! |
| Sep 2 19:40:59 | 12h 06m | There’s No Place Like Home | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool little game man! As others have said, it's definitely really hard. Asteroids are a bit tricky to see, and it speeds up really quickly. Also, not sure if this is intended or not, but after dying when it's on fullscreen mode, it resets to windowed mode, which I found a bit troubling. I really liked the constellations in the background when you press Tab. That was a nice polish touch, though I think the gameplay could use a little work in the areas mentioned. Overall a nice entry, thanks! |
| Sep 2 19:48:15 | 7m 16s | The City Of Forgotten Toys | ♥ 2 | Definitely a funny game, man, especially the intro voiceover and the background music made with vocal sounds. |
| Sep 2 20:01:46 | 13m 31s | Homos Save the World | ♥ 1 | Definitely a funny little game-- the concept is definitely unique and interesting, though may bother some folks. The FPS controls felt pretty good, and the gameplay was challenging. Solid entry! |
| Sep 2 20:12:29 | 10m 43s | Der Raum | ♥ 1 | Very cool retro-arcade style game! Is the game influenced by Gauntlet, perhaps? I like the feel of the controls and the two-stick approach is fun. Nice entry, I hope you get to 20 ratings! |
| Sep 2 20:25:15 | 12m 46s | French, Pen Price, DOOM! | ♥ 1 | Favorite thing about this game is the handwritten / hand-drawn element. Nice touch! It's certainly a unique and interesting concept that uses the theme well. Nice entry! |
| Sep 2 20:31:05 | 5m 50s | Pizza Defender | ♥ 1 | Fun game and great use of the theme. The graphics and animation are definitely my fave part about this! Solid entry! |
| Sep 2 20:37:44 | 6m 39s | Plug And Shoot | ♥ 3 | I really enjoyed this game though I was kinda bad at it! The graphics look great and I enjoyed the plug system. Nice entry guys! |
| Sep 3 21:48:14 | 25h 10m | Blooming Heights | ♥ 1 | Nice work @jakupf! I really like the classic pixel art style and this was a fun take on a gardening game. Certainly a nice use of the theme. Solid entry! |
| Sep 4 00:28:03 | 2h 39m | Quatris - LD42 - Running out of Space | ♥ 0 | @kiotikid This game was really fun. As a huge Tetris fan, of course I like it. The concept is interesting, though in a way it just kind of seems like you're playing 4 Tetris games at once. I suppose the 4 sides do start to interact as it gets more crowded though. Nice entry, I played it for awhile! |
