| Aug 14 09:11:19 | FIREBALL | ♥ 1 | The biggest problems are definitely the lack of singleplayer and the fact that you have to play this with 2 controllers. But besides that, this game is pretty good. the animations and sprites look really good, the gameplay is really innovative, when the camera moves, it moves really smooth. | |
| Aug 14 09:40:38 | 29m 19s | Better Than Thanos | ♥ 4 | This game has a lot of potential. i'm not the biggest fan of the gameplay, but this could be improved by making differend types of shots. for example an ice one which can't destroy anything, but can prevent them from extending. The 3d-models are a bit simple, but they have this low-poly-cell-shading, and i love it. The menu is also pretty good. from there you can see what you are going to do, but it's also great as a normal menu. The music is short, but i think in this case that's a good thing. it just creates even more pressure. Like i mentioned, my biggest problem is the gameplay. it's just not fun clicking as fast as possible. If you would be able to charge a shot are something like that, it would be good. You should really develop it further. |
| Aug 14 09:57:34 | 16m 56s | ExplodyOS - Defeat the Virus | ♥ 1 | It's a shame that the 3rd minigame isn't implemented. The game is really short, but neat. the biggest problem is that it's nothing new, it's just old games, but i like the concept of playing them to defeat the virus. if this game had more minigames with some of them being unique, this would've been a really awesome game. but even with 2 minigames, it's neat. |
| Aug 14 10:23:38 | 26m 04s | Colouroboros | ♥ 3 | This game is like snake, but in 3d an instead of eating... squares, you have to eat yourself. i really like the concept, but damn this is hard. at first, it's okay, but the more you eat, the faster you get and then i miss the blue segment and lose. i think the hard mode is well implemented, but medeium should be what easy is, and in easy mode you should have mor lifes and some respawns. This would make the difficulties more unique, and the game in general easier for people like me. the music is just good, the graphics are good, but they work so perfect together. this game is a lot of fun, just a bit difficult! |
| Aug 14 10:44:15 | 20m 37s | Desktop Defense | ♥ 0 | the game itself is fun, but if you shoot fireballs, the console window won't show how to start the game. i still don't know how to start the second wave. it could be a bit harder, the sprites could be improved (like the player) and there are some depth problems with the tower. but you made this in just one day, so this is pretty impressive. But the biggest problem with the game is that it reminds me of the days when i had a windows xp computer... |
| Aug 14 11:03:43 | 19m 28s | Zecury | ♥ 1 | besides the ground and the dying animation, this game looks amazing! the music tracks are also great and they really fit the situation. The Story was good, but you should be able to speed up the cutscenes like in the backstory. The biggest flaw of this game is the end. The meteors were just unpredictable, the hitbox was to big, and i was even hit by one that was off-screen! but it is still a really good game. I'm impressed that this is a game jam game. this seems like a week or more of work. good job! |
| Aug 14 11:14:34 | 10m 51s | Raft vs Shark | ♥ 1 | this is my favorite game so far in this jam. the music and graphics are good, the game is fair by showing you where the raft will get damaged, it's a nice balance of challenge and luck, and hits the theme perfectly, and i really like the idea. and the fact that this is your first game makes it even better. my first game was way too hard. noone could defeat the first enemy, but the difficulty on this game is perfect! well done! |
| Aug 14 11:39:56 | 25m 22s | WWTD ( World Worst Tower Defence ) | ♥ 2 | this is NOT the worlds worst tower defense game. it's actually fun! the biggest problem is that you get money by clearing waves and not by defeating enemies. but thats really it. everything else is just classic tower defense. besides the insane amount of lifes that the base has, i really like the balancing. overall a pretty solid game! |
| Aug 14 11:47:22 | 7m 26s | Running Out Of Spice | ♥ 2 | i like the idea. this game is really good. the only problems for me are that i had problems seing the obstacles, and that the soundtrack is really short. but besides that, this game is amazing! |
| Aug 14 13:39:14 | 1h 51m | SpaceBreaker | ♥ 1 | this game is by far the best game where you spam a button as the main mechanic i ever played.it's really satisfying. the visuals are just stunning. it's both surreal and just badass. the music also really fitting. the biggest problem is that you just have to press the space bar, but that's it! great job! |
| Aug 14 13:49:54 | 10m 40s | Inadequate Ark | ♥ 3 | this is an interresting concept you have. the execution is also pretty solid. |
| Aug 14 18:29:50 | 4h 39m | The Arena | ♥ 0 | the game itself has a neat concept, but also 2 huge mistakes: the mouse sensitivity is WAY too extreme and it's 1st person. if it would be 3rd person, the aiming would probably be a bit weird, but you could see where the enemies are shooting at. but besides that, this game is pretty good. the soundtrack is short, but it does the job, the approach on difficulty is interesting, since you don't only have to battle more enemies, but you can also use less bullet and, as i said, the concept is good. |
| Aug 14 18:56:46 | 26m 56s | Prime Planets | ♥ 1 | the only complain i have with this game is that it's too much luck. if the enemy has perfect rng, this game is impossible. but everything else is pretty good. the graphics are good enough, the game is unique, it hits the theme and the ai is not completely buggy. that happens to me everytime i make an ai. well done! |
| Aug 14 22:15:55 | 3h 19m | head space | ♥ 0 | i like the idea, but the execution is not very good. the music-track is only 2 seconds and you can easily hear it cut off, there are still white pixels at the border of the black sprite and the thoughts get always stuck. but if you somehow prevent the thoughs from getting stuck, work on the audio and visuals, and polish it a bit, this could be a really good game. if you are planning to make a post jam update/version, then keep those things in mind |
| Aug 14 22:46:52 | 30m 57s | Bloody Hooligans | ♥ 3 | it just feels so good when you get a bit of speed and just drive through a horde of enemies. the exploding football is also a really good feature. everything else is also good. this is one of the best ld42 games i played so far. well done! |
| Aug 14 23:05:27 | 18m 35s | The Ever-Mounting Pressure | ♥ 0 | this game is amazing. when the camera gets close, this gets really intense, and the gameplay is also good. The only problems are, that when you move, you don't face the direction you are shooting at, but the direction you are walking at, which causes you to shoot out an arrow out of your back, and that there is no cooldown on the crossbow. if it had a cooldown, you also wouldn't be able to shoot in 4 directions at a time. but overall greta game! |
| Aug 14 23:29:13 | 23m 46s | Castle Defenders | ♥ 3 | i like what you did with the theme, since not only you are running out of space, but your enemy also is. the only problem is, that the matches are really short. but overall good game! |
| Aug 15 09:25:05 | 9h 55m | Claustrophobia | ♥ 1 | i like this game. it looks very good, the concept is really innovative, and the game overall is really fun. at first, i was confused why i lost lifes, but you made the area in a way nobody will get stuck, since your only option is to go down, and in this first room you learn everything you have to know about the game. the only problem of this game is that every enemy looks the same, but moves in a differend pattern.if they looked a bit differend, this game would be even better. good work! |
| Aug 15 09:50:30 | 25m 25s | Slow Access Memory | ♥ 1 | besides from the missing ending, the fact, that this game has only 1 level, and that the quit-button looks a bit poor, this seems like a full game, and i love the game. the idea is very interessting, the level is well made (it reminds me a bit of captain toad: treasure tracker), the game looks really good, and it's just a really good puzzle game. please make new levels and devolop this into a full game. don't miss this opportunity, you have a really good base game here! |
| Aug 15 10:03:45 | 13m 15s | Don't Let 'em Fall! | ♥ 2 | this is a good game. i like the concept. while this "the area is falling apart" thing is common this time, i like what you did with it. in most games like this you have to protect a single character. in this game you controll dozens of characters at once, and because of that it gets really intense. The only flaws are visuals and audio, i can understand why, it's really boring making sprites and 3d-models, and coming up with a good track takes some time, but the biggest problem is the rng. sometimes i just get trapped and there's nothing i can do about it, i think. but besides that, this game is really fun. it's also really nice of you, that you inluded the source code even though this is a jam game |
| Aug 17 15:16:17 | 53h 12m | The Hero's incredible Chronicles | ♥ 1 | i mean... i was running out of space, but not in the way i thought. this was probably one of the most unexpected things that could happen, and i really liked that dialogue at the end. it probably could be a bit more. that moment at the end where you have to exit, but if you don't exit the text just goes on really reminded me of some parts in portal 2, where a character wants you to do something, but if do nothing, they will just continue to talk. the game very small an short, but besides the pink ground there are no problems. |
| Aug 17 15:46:59 | 30m 42s | Mass Coalesce | ♥ 1 | i like that you used the theme in 2 ways. the first being, that the wall and the ceiling move, and the second being that you grow as you progress, so you need more space. but this game has a few flaws. the biggest is that it needs to be polished. sometimes the jumping doesn't work. this is when hanging an something, which i could understand, but sometimes you can jump. you bounce a few times on the ground when you land. this should be just a visual thing, but you can't jump while bouncing. what makes this even more confusing is the fact, that you hear the jumping sound while pressing the jump-button in the air. this is the biggest flaw in my opinion. the second flaw i notices was the insane difficulty spike at level 7. i had no problems in level 1 - 6, but i died a few times in level 7, but besides those 2, rather easy to fix flaws, this game i pretty good. i like the concept, the visuals, the music. it's just some things in gameplay that could be improved, so if you want to continue developing this game, then please keep this things in mind. |
| Aug 22 17:40:34 | 121h 53m | Blocks | ♥ 1 | it's not that difficult to make a game in five hours. the hardest thing about that is that you have to keep it really simple, but also polished. this game is probably the best example for that i have seen so far. you managed to make a 5 hour-game, that seems to be completed with very little flaws. it's not much, but the only problem i saw was the isometric view, but besides that i've seen no problems at all. good job! |
| Aug 22 18:11:29 | 30m 55s | Reverse | ♥ 1 | this is one of the best, if not the best game i played at this game jam. it's just the most finished and polished game i've seen. this one of the two games i played, that had no issues. the difference is, that this game has a way better system and is just more fun. you shouldn't make a post jam version, since this one is already perfect. if you want to continue working on this, then make some new elements, more levels, and make this a full game! |
| Aug 22 19:16:37 | 1h 05m | Cluster | ♥ 1 | i like the idea of the gameplay! the only thing to improve the game would be a harder difficulty, since every run takes too long. there don't need to be gimmicks to each difficulty, just let a few more enemies spawn, let those enter the folders faster, and let the player recieve more points. but besides the difficulty, this game is really good! |
