| Aug 13 03:29:52 | Running out of Space | ♥ 1 | This is quite an original concept! At first I'll admit I was lost because I thought we had to make real english words and I couldn't figure out how to make words with any path leading to the space bar... Then I finally got the concept and started typing as fast as I could :) A few things I really liked: - The game has a nice progression, it starts off slow to teach the player how to play. Then it gains a great rhythm and adds some pressure to type letters correctly. At the end, things seemed to slow down a bit until the last letters. - I like the attention to detail: the words that make a cool message on the right handside, the final screen with the space bars appearing on top of each other, etc. - I found it challenging but rewarding as I was able to sometimes type my way through a bunch of letters super fast and get a bunch of blocks out of the way. A few things which I think would have added even more: - Some background music would definitely make it more relaxing or stressful :) - Keeping the pace steady and increasing until the end. I found the game a bit too easy and finished it on the first try. And if you have more time... POWER UPS :D Great job! | |
| Aug 13 03:39:26 | 9m 34s | The Maw | ♥ 1 | First of all, hats off to your writing. I really enjoyed the fantasy setting and the dark mood that came with every action. I did a few run through to try different options and enjoyed talking to Lorena best :) There were a few quacks (I think I could never have the phone do anything), but overall it was short and sweet, although quite depressing as I was hoping there was a way out of the Mow! Great job! |
| Aug 13 03:52:30 | 13m 04s | Chef Frank's Franks | ♥ 1 | First of all, I think the graphics are awesome. I love this minimalist cubic world where the colors are well picked. Huge hats off to the background city atmosphere which really added to the mood of the frantic food truck kitchen. Awesome job on making all those models and code in such a small period of time. I loved the concept of serving hotdogs in a limited space. It's a great take on the theme and the only thing I didn't understand at first was that I needed to hold the order in my hands so that it could be handed out. It took me a minute but after that I started again and made over $50. I started to get the hang of it and pre-prepared a bunch of dogs in advance, it was really fun :) Perhaps 2 small things which could be improved: - Some background music would be awesome! A little New York theme or something :) - The sound when putting things down is way too loud compared to the other sounds... I felt like my microwaves were exploding every time! Overall a fantastic entry, great job! |
| Aug 13 04:01:42 | 9m 12s | Stack City | ♥ 0 | While playing your game I felt like I was playing those arcade games with the Claw where you have to pixel-perfect aim your shot so that things come down perfectly! Really original concept, I did feel a bit godlike building a city the way my 1 year old would! Somehow I tried different strategies and couldn't get passed 5m of height, but was able to get 72 adults so that's something seeing they had about 14 skyscrapers to share :) The music was OK but a bit redundant. I was a bit confused by which buildings I was supposed to invest in... And really sad when I was about to place the perfect building but it bounced off a little edge and ended up in the nether... Really cool entry, great job! |
| Aug 13 04:22:44 | 21m 02s | Dark Forest | ♥ 2 | Cool environment, too bad I don't have a VR headset! :( This makes an awesome base for a survival/horror game though. I'd love to see what you make out of it! |
| Aug 13 04:34:49 | 12m 05s | Bullet Farmer | ♥ 0 | Really cool and cute little game! I love the graphics and the palette you used. The difficulty ramped up quickly, and I think I ended up using mostly the autoaim gun mode and I ended up running out of bullets and dying alone on my last remaining patch of slimy grass... Controls are nifty and the difficulty ramps up nicely. I ended up surviving for 152 secs on my 2nd run through... Which is probably an awful score lol :) Great job! |
| Aug 13 05:02:06 | 27m 17s | Collector | ♥ 1 | A really cool concept which begs to be pursued in depth: very original concept where we have to either grow or shrink to fit inside places and go through the puzzle. I would have loved snappier controls as the intent is to barely go through specific areas. Music and sound were OK, I'd love to see where you take this next. |
| Aug 13 05:09:04 | 6m 58s | Rick Dervish - Space Cadet | ♥ 1 | Cool little space shooter with a nice take on the theme! The controls and graphics were fluid! I have to admit you had me a bit worried with your cover art work :) I really enjoyed the fact that there are multiple levels, a volume configuration screen and a nice progression. Would be awesome with some sort of storyline background. Music was pretty cool too (Was it generated?) Great job overall! |
| Aug 13 05:12:06 | 3m 02s | Full of Thoughts | ♥ 1 | Hey I was able to download the game but it gets stuck on the title screen. Let me know when you fix it, I'd love to try it again. |
| Aug 13 05:18:38 | 6m 32s | Mob Floor | ♥ 1 | Really cool little game! Awesome graphics and music. I would have loved to be able to play full screen as it was pretty small on my 4K monitor. The game is quite hard! I was quickly overwhelmed from the first levels... However I love the atmosphere and art style, reminds me of the oldschool battleaxe games I used to play on the arcade. Really cool entry, great job! |
| Aug 13 05:23:17 | 4m 39s | Space Janitor | ♥ 1 | Loved the dodge to be able to escape bullets. I found it hard to know where I was using the vacuum. Some audio would have been a nice addition. Pretty cool game! PS: I found a bug while trying to run the game at a native resolution full screen and had to lower the resolution to window 1024x768. Neat entry! |
| Aug 13 05:31:57 | 8m 40s | Beyond Space | ♥ 0 | Really cool little game shooter with a nice progression between levels! I love how fluid the whole game is, and it was super fun to upgrade my ship and go after the treasures of space. I would have loved to be able to shop in peace without being shot at but that added to the fun of the game. Overall a little music would have made it even more awesomer. Great job! |
| Aug 13 06:05:12 | 33m 15s | Count your Steps (or you will run out of space) | ♥ 1 | Love the 3d puzzle dungeon style. Great art and it ran smoothly on my computer. Controls were a bit rough as I often ended up walking on an extra step in front of the switch and had to restart the level. Great concept, would have loved to hear some audio on top of that. Great job! |
| Aug 13 06:13:23 | 8m 11s | Rise and Shine | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool and original tower building game! I went all the way to 150m, it looks like there is no end? I tried to get my gas elements to fall on the cars waaay down below which was super fun. Made me think of SimCopter. Just missing some sort of objective. Great job! |
| Aug 13 06:20:19 | 6m 56s | Running out of Platformers | ♥ 1 | Super fun little platformer, actually a lot more challenging than I initially thought. I wonder if the leg animation doesn't come in the way of being able to correctly predict where the player will land. Anyhow, loved the simplistic art and controls were really great! Music was redundant... Great job! |
| Aug 13 06:24:28 | 4m 09s | Rumble | ♥ 0 | I scored 18 points after a couple of run throughs! Got a bit lucky :) I like the concept, brings me back to the days of Star Wars Compacting trash! The music was a bit redundant and the player moved a bit fast, but overall I love the arcade feel to it and there's always the thrill of trying to go get that extra bullet near the wall that's already moving fast. Great job! |
| Aug 13 06:25:58 | 1m 30s | LD42: Past the Edge of Space | ♥ 2 | Would you be able to post a link to the deployed game? All I see is a github repo and I'm not sure how to get this started. Thanks! |
| Aug 13 06:33:39 | 7m 41s | JumpArround | ♥ 3 | Man do I love the graphics and animations in this game! The jumping part was quite tricky, and it got quite stressful towards the end!! Perfect usage of the theme. Music was a bit redundant. The water, props and player were just so awesome. One of the best entries out there! |
| Aug 14 06:31:08 | 23h 57m | VCR STAR | ♥ 1 | This was one of my favorite entries so far! I laughed so far during so many of those clips and then trying to make my own videos. The voice acting was superb, the clips so different and fun to combine. What a really cool idea, I loved it :) |
| Aug 14 06:36:33 | 5m 25s | Merchantile | ♥ 0 | Not too sure what to do here, but it kinda reminded me of this millionnaire tycoon click-game where you have to be strategic what you buy and it auto generates more income to then buy more things. I went up to the 4 digit income in your game but I still wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing... Seems like this could be a fun game though! |
| Aug 14 06:41:40 | 5m 07s | Feed cats | ♥ 0 | A little slow to start but gets pretty fun trying to upgrade the right things, and seeing all this poop disappear. I kinda felt bad the first time I went from 4 cats to 3 cats but I've always been a terrible pet sitter lol. I did end up with something like 15 huge cats who pooped all over the place and I felt overwhelmed until I upgraded to the Roomba 5000 and then felt at peace again. Pretty fun overall! :) |
| Aug 14 06:48:09 | 6m 29s | out of control | ♥ 1 | When I started playing your game my initial thought was: "wow that's the 3rd person making a game about windows space running out." Then your theme music started playing and I was like: "OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING" Loved the little shooter, very fluid and fun to play, although losing brought back the worst memories of windows 95 dying on me lol Great entry, I loved it! |
| Aug 14 06:54:53 | 6m 44s | More and More Gravestones | ♥ 1 | This is like South Park meets Grave Tycoon! I love the concept and the take on the theme. Graphics were simple but charming, the sounds could have been better. I was hoping to run into someone who ended up still being alive as I threw him in a grave but it never happened :) I had a couple of play through to try to upgrade graves, I guess it's a bit hard to really undersatnd the incentives of one grave compared to the other. Pretty fun little game overall! |
| Aug 14 07:03:16 | 8m 23s | Book Crook! | ♥ 1 | That was pretty cool, I don't think I ever played a game like this before, although I love to discover how rare items are when playing RPGs. I guess I wasn't sure if there was any value in taking some of the cheap books? I ended up taking blues and greens most of the time to get the best high scores and it usually worked even through a couple of run throughs. I really loved some of the book titles. I feel like this could have been much more with a bit more time! Good job |
| Aug 14 07:08:21 | 5m 05s | Too Many Boxes | ♥ 1 | That was a fun little game, actually a lot more challenging than it appears as you end up having to try and remember how things have been stacked as you end up filling up your room with different stacks of boxes. It's a nice mix of memory and space management, which fits perfectly with the theme. The audio was OK, and the controls sometimes left me a bit frustrated... But overall this was a pretty solid entry! |
| Aug 14 07:15:32 | 7m 11s | Space Cargo | ♥ 1 | This was pretty cool! I had a few run throughs with different strategies and realized that usually it's not worth picking up the smaller cheaper items. I love the game progression and there was always the thrill of finding something to sell for 4K :) Now I did find some interesting thing. It seems that everything is generated on the fly, and sometimes within the same planet you can buy and sell the same item and make free money out of it. I ended up making quite a bit by being a bit lucky. I wish this game went a bit further in keeping track of what planets offer and demand to create a real space economy. This could be really awesome! Great job |
| Aug 14 07:24:29 | 8m 57s | Walls Closing In | ♥ 1 | Holy crap what a tense mood!! WELL HOW THE HELL DO I GET OUT!!! AAAAH!!! It was like Stranger things meet StarWars Trash scene lol Loved the audio, loved the raw atmosphere, and loved the gameplay. The walls closing in, the creepy writings on the wall... Maybe you should go see a psychiatrist? :) Great job I loved it!! |
| Aug 14 07:30:30 | 6m 01s | DEFRAG | ♥ 1 | Love the tetris twist with this take on the theme. Really clever idea, and I felt like the game was fun and challenging! Loved the added powerups, and felt pretty good when clearing a bunch of lines at the same time. Overall it was really cool! Would have loved a defrag-tetris music theme! |
| Aug 14 08:13:35 | 43m 05s | Escape from The Alliance | ♥ 1 | Wow a full fledge FTL clone in 48h, I'm baffled! So many nice finishing touches this feels like a complete game that could be sold on Steam. Seriously this is so cool. I tried a couple of different strategies and made it almost to the last chapter. I kept losing my weapons at the end and not being able to do much without them. I love the theme song, the whole atmosphere, the graphics and gameplay. One of my favorite entries so far. |
| Aug 16 03:46:40 | 43h 33m | Park & Match | ♥ 1 | @carlos-giraldo are we the only 2 parking games in this JAM? :) That's surprisingly low!! Anyways I love what you did, controlling the cars is so smooth and realistic. The gameplay is super fun and I love the graphics, the objectives are super clear. Man, this is really great! Awesome job (Except for originality lol) |
| Aug 16 03:54:01 | 7m 21s | Quickshot Yellow: The Quest for Green Flags | ♥ 1 | Very cool little puzzle! The voice acting was a nice treat on top of well designed small levels which increase in difficulty really well. Those became quite challenging and rewarding when finished. Overall a really cool entry! |
| Aug 16 04:02:14 | 8m 13s | OVERLOADED | ♥ 1 | This was such an amazing and fun entry! Loved the concept, loved the graphics and sound. Execution was super good as well. I would sometimes get frustrated at the customers as I couldn't get some people out the bus lol Super fun! |
| Aug 16 04:06:15 | 4m 01s | Monarch-eat | ♥ 1 | That was pretty cool! I love the diea and the graphics. The music was quite cute too. I did run into some issues while trying to move the food towards the table and it would rotate my phase 180 degrees in the other side. Made it a bit tricky to make the right hamburger. Other than that I really enjoyed your game! |
| Aug 16 04:09:55 | 3m 40s | Get Comfortable | ♥ 0 | What a fun little game! I love the take on the theme, and the execution is super well done. The AI is pretty smart and makes you think twice about your next move. I love the retro feel to the game as well. Great execution, awesome job! |
| Aug 16 04:17:36 | 7m 41s | The Not Very Golden Age of Piracy | ♥ 2 | This is the best entry I've played so far. Flawless, could easily be a commercial game. From the voice acting to the graphics, music and gameplay... Just wow, awesome job guys! I'm baffled that this could be done during LD. |
| Aug 16 04:27:17 | 9m 41s | Little Shop of Junk | ♥ 2 | Such an awesome and sweet little game! Loved the graphics and mood (Did you guys make that music as well?) Loved the concept and I had a lot of fun trying to triage things on shelves while surviving the customer rush. Super fun to play, great execution. Awesome job! |
| Aug 17 05:29:52 | 25h 02m | Rey Trace | ♥ 2 | Super original! I did 32K before losing. Love the mood with the really cool music. I feel like a bit more feedback whenever you hit a node would have made it perfect. Awesome little gem here! |
| Aug 17 05:35:13 | 5m 21s | MISSION:DARK WATER | ♥ 1 | Very cool graphics and animations! Love the take on the theme, and the level progression. I didn't feel like I had to dodge much, but finding the briefcase was really a nice treat :) Awesome job overall! |
| Aug 17 05:42:15 | 7m 02s | Summer's Lease | ♥ 1 | Great story-telling game! I really got into it! I loved the parts when I had to hurry to make choices with countdowns which actually had an impact (like getting in the car crash, etc.) I sometimes wish that there were different options than the ones proposed but I really really loved the ending. Great job! |
| Aug 17 05:47:39 | 5m 24s | Shopper | ♥ 0 | Lol well that was super fun! I actually felt like I was reliving my real life inside this game (you're welcome amazon stocks!!) Loved the simple atmosphere, ordering a bunch of boxes of every size, and using my real-life technical hacking skills to perform the most challenging technical tasks :) Great job! |
| Aug 17 05:52:14 | 4m 35s | Golden Shackles | ♥ 1 | That was really cool! First of all hats off to an original setting, thanks for putting together a game intro (most games just jump right in). I love the concept, although I found it a bit repetitive towards the end while trying to get the painting. I also love the graphics and animations. The music was pretty nice and soothing, it went well with the game. Overall great job!! |
