| Aug 14 05:58:08 | Space Evader | ♥ 2 | Wow! This is really cool! Music was fantastic; very atmospheric and evoked the mood of "dread" and "impending doom" very well. Crafting system was great and visuals were very good! The UI really gave off the feeling of being in control of a space ship. Some sound effects would have assisted in enhancing the immersion. Great work! :) | |
| Aug 14 06:05:23 | 7m 15s | Little Rocket | ♥ 0 | Nice work! The game concept is really cool. I think some animations or sound effects would go a long way in enhancing the quality of the game. Also, while the music didn't sound too bad, it did get repetitive and could be changed to suit the mood of the game better. Multiplayer is a really cool addition! Awesome job! :) |
| Aug 14 06:16:24 | 11m 01s | XORN: The Fallen God | ♥ 4 | This game is incredible! Best I've played so far. Art is gorgeous, and the mood is great and well complemented by the music. Loved the screen shake effects for when you kill an enemy. Only problems I have is that the attacking sound effects felt quite weak. If they were better, the game would feel and play even more amazing then it already does. Excellent work! |
| Aug 14 07:21:29 | 1h 05m | Taint - A LD42 Game by Pyja and BKAT | ♥ 2 | Very challenging and unique platforming game! Love the broom mechanic and especially the dark lighting, sets the mood perfectly. Checkpoints for each room would be helpful, as it was quite deterring to have to go from the start each time you die. I also love how when you start riding the broom, the animation is quite long, so you have to think about when to use it as you might at risk of being caught by the corruption. Excellent artwork, too. Brilliant job! |
| Aug 14 07:30:33 | 9m 04s | Zerg Coming！ | ♥ 0 | This is a pretty cool game! Grouping up enemies and killing them was very satisfying. Blood effects are awesome. To further enhance the gameplay, I would suggest adding more game feel features such as screen shake and freeze. Sound effects would also be very good. Great work! |
| Aug 14 07:38:43 | 8m 10s | The Flesh Pit | ♥ 1 | This game is phenomenal! I absolutely love the artwork and atmosphere. Gameplay is super addictive and fun, it feels great to find new weapons and enemies. Best game I've played yet, amazing work! :) |
| Aug 14 09:57:50 | 2h 19m | The skeletons took my boat | ♥ 2 | This is a very cool game! Sound effects are quite humorous, and I think it complimented the tone of the game quite well. Interesting interpretation of theme as well! Only nitpick: weapons could feel a bit more "powerful," which can be accomplished by adding visual effects to the game such as screenshake or freeze. Shooting sound effects were slightly weak as well. Gameplay is a lot of fun either way! Great job! :) |
| Aug 14 10:37:42 | 39m 52s | Protocol: 47 - Superstar Appeal | ♥ 1 | Absolutely phenomenal! The amount of work that went into this is seriously impressive. The ending song was hilarious. I can't wait to see what you guys make next! :) |
| Aug 14 22:24:19 | 11h 46m | We Need Space! | ♥ 1 | This is a really cool game! I thought that the concept was well executed, but could have been better if there was a better indication of human population (e.g. a warning message popping up on screen when the population is low.) Sound effects could have hugely enhanced the atmosphere and mood of the game too. I loved the art, and the glowing effects that emitted off of each planet looked very pretty! Overall a pretty great game, good job! :) |
| Aug 14 22:48:48 | 24m 29s | Nooooo! | ♥ 1 | This is a simple and fun game! The concept is very good, but unfortunately the bugs and lack of polish alluded to only a decent execution. Music is pretty great, and the art is simplistic but effective. Good work! :) |
| Aug 14 22:57:29 | 8m 41s | Recycling frenzy | ♥ 1 | This is a really cool game! Gets very intense as time goes on. I loved the art style and especially the music, promoted the industrial vibe of the game quite well. Sound effects are well done too. Great work! :) |
| Aug 15 09:33:55 | 10h 36m | Comfort Zone | ♥ 3 | This game is brilliant! Great on job on communicating emotion and theme through the gameplay. Captures the feeling of social anxiety perfectly. I especially like how the light around you "pulses" like a heart when you are very stressed. Awesome job! |
| Aug 15 09:52:58 | 19m 03s | Space is running out of space | ♥ 1 | Cool game! Movement is pretty floaty and the still background makes it hard to determine the speed of your movement. Sound effects would also assist in improving the games immersion. I still really liked the game concept though. Great work! :) |
| Aug 15 10:05:50 | 12m 52s | Mini Organizer 3000 | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! Levels and puzzles are extremely well designed and cleverly thought out. Art was simplistic and very effective. One of the best I've played so far, great job! :) |
| Aug 15 10:16:31 | 10m 41s | TeTrans | ♥ 0 | Excellent work! Game concept is very original and fun. It feels very satisfying to collect money. I also like how you can't change the rotation or position of cargo once you've placed it (or at least I don't think you can,) as it promotes careful thinking and planning. This is a really fun and interesting game, great job! |
| Aug 15 11:09:26 | 52m 55s | Shoot O' Space | ♥ 1 | Really nice! I love the simple and bright visuals. Gameplay is fun, even though the movement is a little floaty and some hit boxes are a little off. Great work! :) |
| Aug 15 22:37:56 | 11h 28m | Demonic Digestion | ♥ 2 | This game is phenomenal! Best art I've seen in an LD42 game so far. Music is very thematic and fits the game perfectly. Sound effects are super satisfying and well made. Buying upgrades and being able to change your appearance were awesome additions. Very fun game, excellent job! :) |
| Aug 16 20:51:39 | 22h 13m | blobbert. | ♥ 0 | Nice work! Initially I didn't understand what was going on, some clearer instructions would be good! :) Art and animations are really cool, and the game concept is very unique and innovative. Great job! :) |
| Aug 16 20:57:08 | 5m 29s | Escape the Big Rip | ♥ 0 | Cool game! I like the simple controls and the art is wonderful! Music and sound would be an excellent addition, as it would add a whole new level of immersion and atmosphere to the game. Great work! :) |
| Aug 16 21:04:39 | 7m 31s | Zombie Escape | ♥ 1 | A really cool game! I love the art style, music and sounds were great but did get very repetitive after a while. Super fun, and very unique interpretation of the theme. Brilliant job! :) |
| Aug 16 21:19:50 | 15m 11s | ZeroBytes | ♥ 1 | Great game! Concept is very innovative and unique. I love the weapon ideas! More visual effects, such as screenshake, would assist in making the game feel more satisfying and enjoyable to play. I'd recommend looking at a talk called "The Art of Screenshake." Sounds would also assist in improving the gameplay. Overall, a really innovative and unique game. Good work! :) |
| Aug 17 00:40:01 | 3h 20m | Space Saver | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! Great use of screenshake, sound effects were very satisfying and bassy. Music is very catchy as well. Great work! :) |
| Aug 17 00:46:25 | 6m 24s | Warehouse | ♥ 0 | Good work! Controls are really nice. I loved the game concept and sound effects. UI was a bit confusing, but makes sense after a while. Nice job! :) |
| Aug 17 01:13:02 | 26m 37s | Disembodied | ♥ 1 | This is incredible, I am truly blown away by what you put together in just three days. Music, sound, art, story, are all phenomenal. Brilliant work! Best LD42 game I've played yet. |
| Aug 17 01:26:27 | 13m 25s | Return to Garbage World | ♥ 1 | I love the neon visuals and especially the music. Reminded me of "Plantasia" by Mort Garson. Game is very simplistic and challenging, sound effects are cool as well. Great work! :) |
| Aug 17 01:33:29 | 7m 02s | Tribe Terror | ♥ 1 | This is a really nice game! I love the concept, and the crafting system was quite well done considering the time limit. I also liked the fast movement and background. Sounds were pretty great too. Good work! :) |
| Aug 17 01:47:31 | 14m 02s | Bot Saves Dream | ♥ 0 | Loved the game concept! Was pretty cool how the levels were different but still carried on a continuous score, I haven't seen many games do that before. Art is simple and effective, same goes with the music and SFX. Good job! |
| Aug 17 01:54:17 | 6m 46s | Dirty Duty | ♥ 0 | Hahaha this is really funny! Didn't like the art that much but the sound effects and music were well done! Game concept was quite humorous and well executed. Found some strange collision issues but other then that, I didn't encounter any major bugs. Good work! |
| Aug 17 02:00:55 | 6m 38s | Jim The Frog | ♥ 1 | Fun game! I liked how some crystals were placed towards the edge of the map, forced me to think and prioritise which crystals I would collect first. Music was simplistic but fit the mood of the game well, would say the same about the art. Good work! |
| Aug 17 02:12:38 | 11m 43s | Void Era | ♥ 0 | Really cool game! Art and visuals are wonderful! Particle effects greatly assisted in making the world feel more alive. Felt annoying to have to constantly click, would prefer if you could just hold down the fire button to shoot. UI looked great as well, but was confused as to what some symbols meant. Tower defence aspects were cool, encouraged me to prioritise which enemies I killed first. Good work! |
| Aug 17 02:26:37 | 13m 59s | The Mansion | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! Graphics are awesome, and controls are very tight. Wall jumping was a little glitchy and I didn't understand how springs functioned at first. Music was great in promoting the halloween / vampire-esque atmosphere that the game conveyed. Good work! |
| Aug 17 05:48:31 | 3h 21m | Hell of space | ♥ 2 | Cool game! I love all the references haha. Music and art is excellent, sound effects are also great. Gameplay was a bit confusing at first, but you get the hang of it. Good work! :) |
| Aug 17 05:54:52 | 6m 21s | Refugee Rescue | ♥ 1 | Good work! I love the sound effects haha, very humourous. Game concept is quite fun and easy to understand. 3D models are also done quite well. Great job! :) |
| Aug 17 06:04:16 | 9m 24s | The Crunch | ♥ 0 | This is a very nice game! I love the music, and how it changes when you're flying and when your at a planet. I like how little fuel you have, so you are forced to be very conservative and smart with how you use it. It's also pretty cool how your ship circles around the planet that you are at, allowing you to launch off towards a nearby planet to preserve fuel. More sound effects, such as one for flying, would enhance the atmosphere of the game. A background could also work pretty well. I loved the story, though! Great work! :) |
| Aug 17 06:13:51 | 9m 35s | caelique | ♥ 1 | Fantastic entry! I absolutely adore the art style, music and sound effects are wonderful too! Gameplay is very original and fun, gets very challenging after the green circles are introduced. One of my favourite LD42 entries so far, keep it up! :) |
| Aug 17 10:31:05 | 4h 17m | Alive | ♥ 0 | This game is phenomenal, I love the opening! Ambience at the start is very atmospheric and well-done, and the lack of music when underground promotes a feeling of loneliness. Interacting and dig mechanics were very cool, and the art was nicely made. This is a fantastic entry, keep it up! :) |
| Aug 17 10:41:04 | 9m 59s | Space Dog Escape | ♥ 1 | Game is little buggy but overall a very unique and innovative concept. Transitions between levels were very smooth, and the rotation made for a hectic and fun gameplay experience. Collisions were a bit glitchy but it didn't hinder it too much. Great work! :) |
| Aug 17 10:49:43 | 8m 39s | She is helmet | ♥ 1 | Love the cloning idea! Gameplay is super fun, sound effects are very satisfying and the art is wonderful. To improve, I think that the cooldown between each dash should be decreased. Only bug I encountered was where if you die just as you kill the last enemy in a group, you won't respawn. To make it even more fun, I would suggest adding more visual effects such as screenshake. Overall a very good game, great work! :) |
| Aug 17 11:01:55 | 12m 12s | Head Space | ♥ 1 | Wonderful game! I love the cutscenes and animations, very polished and enjoyable. I love the comical aesthetic of the game, it's very unique! Visuals only further compliment it and the music is awesome. Only suggestion is to make it so that when you hold space you fly up, and when you aren't you slowly fall down. It would make it a bit more easy to control. Great work! :) |
| Aug 17 20:48:44 | 9h 46m | Space Trap | ♥ 1 | Nice job! I would have preferred if the movement was tied to the x and y co-ordinate of the player, and not determined by the direction they are facing. I thought it was really clever how the ship was at the title screen of the game, and you could learn the controls there without being put under danger. Particle effects looked great and the music was effective. Good work! :) |
| Aug 17 20:55:06 | 6m 22s | Vanishing Space | ♥ 1 | Nice! A very simplistic gameplay loop which is fun and satisfying. I liked how there was a time limit as to what you could do, a score system would potentially make it even more fun. Particle effects were really cool and I liked the music. Good work! :) |
| Aug 17 21:13:59 | 18m 53s | O² Space Salvage | ♥ 0 | Good work! At first I was quite confused, but you get the hang of it after some time. Music was catchy and well-made, even if a bit repetitive. Ship movement speed should have been a lot slower and smoother, and I think the vacuum ship is a bit OP. Sound effects work wonderfully and a very innovative game idea, great job! :) |
| Aug 17 21:29:43 | 15m 44s | Closing In | ♥ 1 | Short and fun game! Very easy to understand, instructions are well explained. Collecting coins and killing enemies was very satisfying. Music fit the mood of the game very well, I also loved the colour palette. Great job! |
| Aug 18 09:25:22 | 11h 55m | Build Out In Space | ♥ 1 | I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this! Got a high score of 123. Art and music needs improvement but the game concept is very innovative and fun, great work! :) |
| Aug 18 09:36:49 | 11m 27s | Airlock Gridlock | ♥ 2 | A very fun, unique and polished game! The tutorial was very helpful, and once I started playing it got incredibly fun! I loved having to time when you moved each ship to prevent potential crashes. Art and music were also great. Good work! |
| Aug 18 09:54:30 | 17m 41s | Space Chase | ♥ 0 | Lovely game! The models are all wonderful! Music and sound effects did a great job at creating an intense tone. Game concept was very original and fun. The score UI could look a bit better but the title screen looks great. Awesome work! :) |
| Aug 18 10:00:59 | 6m 29s | Lost | ♥ 0 | Loved this game! Art style is simplistic but still looks pretty cartoony and great. Game concept is very innovative and well executed, the ship feels good to move. Only three tweaks I would make are to change the shooting sound effect, makes bullets move faster, and make the ship rotate quicker. Other then that, this game is fantastic! Great work, keep it up! :) |
| Aug 18 10:11:56 | 10m 57s | Choose Them up | ♥ 1 | Great game! Particle effects and artwork were gorgeous! Sound effects suited the retro aesthetic of the game very well. Some more visual effects such as screenshake when shooting could further improve how the game feels. When playing with a keyboard and mouse, I think it would work best if the mouse could move across the whole screen, rather then being tied towards the centre. Gameplay overall was awesome and hardmode is a great addition. Excellent work! :) |
| Aug 18 10:23:00 | 11m 04s | Slaughter House | ♥ 0 | Very nice game! Loved the cartoonish art style and game concept. I thought that pushing corpses down to the meat grinder felt quite tedious and not very fun. Would be cool if that idea was further integrated into combat, e.g. weapons and enemies having an influence on it. Collisions were slightly buggy but for the most part they were good. Great job! :) |
| Aug 18 20:44:11 | 10h 21m | Give Me Space | ♥ 1 | Very nice game! Concept is extremely original and innovative. I think that planets orbit too fast, and it would be helpful if you dropped the planet at the mouse position instead of there being a large vertical offset. Music was simple and effective. Great job! :) |
| Aug 18 20:54:25 | 10m 14s | Running Out in Space! | ♥ 1 | Wonderful game! Central mechanic of shrinking levels was executed wonderfully. I especially liked the levels where you have to use it as a means of getting to higher ground, made you think and study the function of the mechanic. Art was excellent and created a very peaceful mood which contrasted with the urgent tone of the game play. Really great job, one of the best compo games I've played so far. :) |
| Aug 18 20:58:41 | 4m 16s | The City Of Forgotten Toys | ♥ 1 | Neat! Music was humorous but definitely got annoying after a while. The concept is quite innovative and the control scheme is simple and easy to learn. Art could have been better and the movement felt very floaty. Bullet collisions were a little odd as well. Overall a great concept, good work! :) |
| Aug 18 21:09:16 | 10m 35s | Hopeless Run | ♥ 1 | Cool game! I liked the control scheme a lot. Art was simplistic but worked very well. I liked the opening and the bullet-time system was pretty cool. Good work! :) |
| Aug 19 09:33:14 | 12h 23m | Take care of her | ♥ 2 | It's games like these that make me wish Ludum Dare had a "narrative" voting category. This is an absolutely wonderful game, it is incredible that this was all written in such a short amount of time. I loved the background music, set the tone of the game perfectly. Excellent work! |
| Aug 19 09:40:06 | 6m 52s | TrackBlasters | ♥ 1 | Awesome! Loved the simplistic control and the art looked fantastic! Very unique and interesting interpretation of the theme, game concept is well executed. Sound effects and music suited the tone and setting of the game very well. Only suggestion is to implement a lap system, so players can develop a sense of progression and skill development. Good work! |
| Aug 19 09:56:22 | 16m 16s | Space Invasion | ♥ 1 | Fantastic entry! Great sense of humour, I loved the introductory sequence. Art was very moody and polished, only complaint was that the orbs looked out of place. Music fit the humour of the game well. Couldn't get past the boss level haha, all the levels before that were fantastic and very well designed. Great work! :) |
| Aug 19 10:00:33 | 4m 11s | ROoS | ♥ 1 | Amazing job! Very challenging and well designed, I really liked the simple control scheme. Concept and theme integration was incredibly clever and innovative. Art was spectacular and the mood complimented it wonderfully. Brilliant work! |
| Aug 20 09:32:59 | 23h 32m | Space Fighter | ♥ 0 | Neat! Simple and works well. I liked the unique control scheme, my favourite part of the game. Some more sound and visual effects would assist in making the game feel better. I also really liked the particle explosion when you died, some more things like that would be awesome. Good work! |
| Aug 20 09:42:32 | 9m 33s | Espace | ♥ 1 | Really nice game! Starts off a bit too slow but gets very challenging and enjoyable later on. The story reminded me of Interstellar. The mood of the game was communicated very well, I especially liked the titlescreen. Great job! |
| Aug 20 09:52:33 | 10m 01s | The Climb | ♥ 0 | This game is fantastic! Initially I was very confused as to what was going on, as I wasn't aware that the game was 3D but in a top-down perspective. Once you get the hang of it, it's heaps of fun! I loved the simplistic art style and music too. Brilliant work! |
| Aug 20 10:06:52 | 14m 19s | Space Taters | ♥ 0 | Amazing work! Artwork is fantastic, I especially liked the character animations. Music and sound effects would work amazingly in a game like this, the mood and atmosphere would be great. Game concept is very innovative and executed quite well. Wall collisions were a bit strange and I thought the inventory system wasn't hugely useful, but was still well made. Overall I absolutely loved this game, you all did a terrific job! Keep it up. |
| Aug 20 20:22:55 | 10h 16m | NHYRGLYOTRAGHN | ♥ 1 | Excellent! I loved the game concept, very easy to understand. Art was great and music choice was good, some more sound effects for shooting, damaging and boulders etc. could really assist in improving the immersion. Gameplay could be improved if there were to be more visual effects when you hit an enemy or shoot, e.g. screenshake. Good work, this is a fantastic entry! |
| Aug 21 09:21:46 | 12h 58m | Claustro | ♥ 0 | Super cool game! I loved the art style, character walking animation was quite funny and well made. Game concept is very innovative and was executed very well. I liked how the enemies were black to make it so that you can't see them in the dark. Great work, keep it up! :) |
| Aug 21 09:31:14 | 9m 28s | Apparatus | ♥ 1 | This is amazing! Concept is so innovative and original, it is incredible how this was put together in just two days. Animations were very smooth and looked great. Only area where I thought the game was lacking was in audio and mood. I think some background ambience could really improve the players immersion within the game. Theme interpretation was very creative and the crafting system was polished and well made. Great work, keep it up! |
| Aug 21 10:10:33 | 39m 19s | Ultimate Cave Of Dangers | ♥ 1 | Very intense! Movement was a bit too fast for my liking, but wall jumping felt great. Music fit the game well, art style was pretty cool too. I think it would be better if the rest of the art was drawn with the simple low res style that the characters are. Good work, really interesting concept. Keep it up! |
| Aug 21 10:25:34 | 15m 01s | Shrink Bots | ♥ 1 | This is awesome! Game idea is wonderfully executed and original. Tutorial was very helpful and specific. I didn't like how there was no way of progressing after you ran out of money and couldn't produce any more (unless there was a way out of it, and I just didn't know.) Art is simplistic but effective. Sound effects would definitely enhance the immersion and realism of the game experience, would love to see that in a post jam version! This game is amazing, keep up the good work! :) |
| Aug 21 10:34:52 | 9m 18s | ground_0 | ♥ 2 | One of the best entries so far! Pixel art was gorgeous and the neon aesthetic of the game was brilliantly done. I loved how the screen pulsated to the beat of the music. Theme was very cleverly integrated, excellent use of screenshake and particle effects. Keep up the good work! :) |
| Aug 24 06:01:20 | 67h 26m | Blocks | ♥ 1 | Nice work! Very simplistic and fun. Music was made quite well, definitely suited the game. Collisions were a bit buggy, and I really didn't like how gravity felt and functioned. Other then that, this is a really fun and simple game. Good job, keep it up! :) |
| Aug 24 20:05:41 | 14h 04m | Box Bonanza | ♥ 0 | Neat game! I thought that the concept was very cool and the art was well-done. Physics and collisions were really buggy and hindered the gameplay experience for me, I also didn't like the controls very much. Perhaps a better scheme would be WASD to move, space to jump, and E to pickup crates (abilities can stay as 1 and 2.) UI was quite confusing and didn't look very good, and the game initially was quite confusing but you get the hang of it. Overall a really interesting concept! Great work, keep it up! :) |
| Aug 29 20:34:12 | 120h 28m | WearOut | ♥ 0 | Neat game! I really liked the black / white / red art style and the stickmen characters. Some more "power" could have been added to the punches and kicks, as they felt quite weak. This can be done through better sound effects or visual effects such as screenshake. It was also a bit too easy and repetitive, perhaps it would be better if enemies came from both sides instead of just one? Story was very humorous and creative. Music was great and overall I really liked the game, good work! :) |
