Aug 13 12:51:39 SPACETROIDS ♥ 1 Simple but fun! Took me some time to understand the way to stop walls in the beginning, and once I understood it became a bit too easy. But overall that was nice.
Aug 13 13:05:02 13m 23s Humanagement ♥ 1 Interesting and creative way to use the theme. I wish the overall context of sending people to heaven was more showed in-game rather than in the help section, it would have been cool to have more sounds/illustrations/notifications related to that. The gameplay was basic but quite fun. I think it takes some time to get really challenging though. Also, the font was a bit misleading sometimes (u's that look like v's, l's that look like i's, ...) but that's a minor problem. I liked little music! Good job!
Aug 13 13:15:42 10m 40s Another Summer Run ♥ 2 Well done, I liked the ice cracking effect and the overall look of the game. Concerning the gameplay, it worked fine but it was way too easy. I basically kept going right all the time and was never in danger, so I just stopped at some point. I would have loved some sound effects too to make things more lively. Other than that, neat game!
Aug 13 13:30:38 14m 56s Escape from space ♥ 0 Fantastic music and mood! Fits very well. Graphics are simple but quite nice. I didn't really understand the objective though. The X and Y seemed to change not consistently and didn't really know what to do with the planets too.
Aug 13 13:40:38 10m 00s Get Off My Boat, You! ♥ 1 Interesting graphics, somehow they look cool despite the simplicity. I liked the idea to use the wheel to control the boat, although it's easy to lose your pointer far away from it while playing. Fun!
Aug 13 14:03:37 22m 59s Totally Slammed ♥ 0 You should change the .rar to a .zip which is handled by default by Windows. I had to download a software to uncompress your game. Otherwise I tried to play but I only had the blue stamp, the others were missing. Is that a bug or did I miss something? EDIT: ok, I understood, you just have to move the paper when there is no square. So that was quite nice actually. It looks nice and the gameplay is original. I really liked the intro with the phone call :) Some remarks: the music is veeery repetitive and the days are too long. Shorter days would allow to reach the more challenging levels more quickly.
Aug 13 14:21:22 17m 45s Darklings ♥ 1 Visually impressive, what a great atmosphere! The music was very nice too. Great job! The gameplay was nice although very classic. It could have been more challenging too.
Aug 13 14:42:04 20m 42s Borderblast ♥ 2 Cute little game! Finished it without dying once. I agree with @bronydell that controls should be more responsibe. The character is falling very slowly... I didn't rate you in Audio because there was no sound. Is that normal? Also, why did you opt-out the graphics category? Didn't you make them?
Aug 13 18:06:47 3h 24m Power Plant ♥ 1 Cool! I like the idea, very original, although I didn't understand exactly how the flowers that you don't plant yourself pop up, but I still had fun while playing it. Graphics are cute, simple but the popping animation feels very good. The sounds are simple too and could be improved but they work fine. Suggestion: I think having the current flower shape follow the pointer would make it clearer than having to look at the corner.
Aug 15 09:05:10 38h 58m Block Smash - Ludum Dare 42 Entry ♥ 1 Works well, although I lost because the path was fully blocked at some point 😅 I liked the idea tetris shapes, it feels like your going upwards in a tetris game. Graphics and sounds are okay but could largely be improved. Good job!
Aug 15 09:19:09 13m 59s grindatron.tv ♥ 1 Really loved this game! The concept is original and works quite well despite the other contestants being quite dump sometimes 😛 Very cool level design ideas. The one where all the contestants are stacked together was surprising, although I stopped there because I didn't manage to win. Graphics are simple but cool. I like the overall effect you get with the colors changing :) Sounds could be improved Very good overall!
Aug 15 09:30:37 11m 28s Collector ♥ 1 Cool idea, nice way to use the theme 🙂 I think there are many things to explore here. However, the controls makes it difficult to really enjoy the game. I think everything should be much faster (moving and the use of blue squares, even when you press space it's still quite slow) and you should be able to move freely, even in diagonal, instead of square by square.
Aug 15 09:50:31 19m 54s Deep Decent ♥ 0 Nice graphics and music, but from what I see in the credits, you used assets from Unity and music from another website, so I don't know how to rate that. It's definitely okay to use external assets in the jam but then it should be made clearer so that we can rate what you actually did. Otherwise, nice job in putting all of that together, doing a 3D game in 48h is a big challenge! I agree with the others that the controls and camera should be improved. It also lacks feedback when you hit a monster, I never knew if I was hitting the air or the creature. Good luck!
Aug 15 10:02:05 11m 34s Downscaled ♥ 1 Great! Simple but works really well. Cool music too :) The difficulty could be fine-tuned, I ended rolling all the time and got a B- while I got a F when trying to play well 😛
Aug 15 11:46:26 1h 44m Super Crate Hoarder ♥ 1 Cute and fun! I didn't get how you used the theme though, maybe I was too bad and failed before it made sense. Also I'm so used to games using space for jump that it was hard for me to use Z instead. But overall, the game feels good and is well done!
Aug 15 19:57:07 8h 10m DON'T RUN OUT OF SPACE ♥ 0 Very well done, I liked everything about this game: the game idea, the art style and the music are all good. I had a lot of fun :) Great job!
Aug 18 18:13:56 70h 16m Kid with a phone + game ♥ 0 Good work, looks like you had good ideas and it must have required a lot of effort. Graphics are beautiful, I'm wondering about which part of them you did by yourself, did you do the dragon models? However, it was overall very confusing. I kept going in the wrong direction. I see now after reading the comments that the red cube is there for that I think a fixed camera oriented north would just make things much simpler. The explanations in the beginning are not quite clear either: I saw the "Arial" button a bit late (otherwise the other font was almost unreadable), but the main problem for me what that the English was difficult to understand. But obviously, if it's not your mother tongue I understand it is difficult, so I can't take that into account ;) It's possible to make the explain rules without a lot of text tough, but that takes more time. Good job overall!
Aug 18 19:19:48 1h 05m Drying Up ♥ 1 Very good job overall, especially since it was the first time you tried Unreal Engine 4! I liked the original controls, the simple gameplay and the graphics. There's a nice atmosphere overall. Aspects that could be improved are the camera (like others said it shouldn't follow the mouse and shouldn't move abruptly) and animations. I also don't get the link with the theme.
Aug 18 20:08:53 49m 05s Big Chickies ♥ 1 Fantastic graphics and audio, really well done. Like others said, the difficulty could be improved: in the beginning it's way too hard to keep all the chicken alive, but when there is only one, it becomes too easy. That was still fun though, good job :)
Aug 18 20:10:58 2m 05s Ball Hit ♥ 0 I would have given you a high rate in humor but sadly that's the only category you removed 😛
Aug 19 08:06:33 11h 55m Trash Tide ♥ 2 Great! I had a lot of fun with this game :) The controls work well. The graphics are simple but looks good. Nice message too ^^ The power ups could appear more often I think, I could only get two tide-turners before I failed.
Aug 19 08:17:06 10m 33s Spiritship ♥ 1 Too bad you could not finish it on time, I'd really like to play this game if you can finish it some day. The game has a great atmosphere. As a big fan of LiS/Captain Spirit, it was hard not to like this ^^.
Sep 1 19:10:12 322h 53m Dig ♥ 0 I didn't understand how to play... Sometimes I could dig graves and sometimes I couldn't but it was not clear what the goal was. But the atmosphere of the game was great. Very nice graphic style although it lacks animations.
Sep 3 18:21:56 47h 11m Getting Over Gold Hoarding ♥ 1 It took me a while to understand how to play but then it was quite fun! This repeating coin sound is so delightful ^^ It became very laggy at the end and graphics could be much better. But otherwise, good job :)
Sep 3 19:00:53 38m 57s Amistad ♥ 1 Nice idea, and rather fun game. I wish there were sound and more polished graphics though. I think the difficulty of the game should lowered, right now it's clear that it's impossible to give everyone what they need even if you are really good. Good luck!
Sep 3 19:06:08 5m 15s give-way-for-sails ♥ 0 Nice! The controls feels good, the gameplay is simple but works and the graphics are good enough. I especially loved the music, On the negative side, the difficulty is way too high and I never lasted more than ~30s. It was not very clear what were pirate ships in the beginning too. The first time I hit one, I died.
Sep 4 18:10:19 23h 04m Back to Base ♥ 0 Nice gameplay idea, I liked it ! Like others said I would prefer to be able to control the ship only with keys. Good game otherwise!
Sep 4 18:23:04 12m 45s TriSpace ♥ 1 Fantastic game! Just finished it and it felt really rewarding at the end. Sometimes I mixed up all the controls, maybe it's possible to find better keys, I don't know. Otherwise the combination of the power of the three ships works very well and the difficulty is well balanced. The music was good too :) Well done!
