| Aug 13 20:21:04 | From Hell | ♥ 0 | Funny little game ! Even if you raped my ears when I launched it XD I think the main problem is that you can't see where you're running, and you can see that it's a problem in the third level ("Violence", I think) because you have to choose the right way, but it's totally random. But the game restarts fast after deaths so it's not a game-breaker issue. I also couldn't get out of the tutorial, I reached the end but I got stuck until the devil catch me and I had to reboot the application. Good job though :) | |
| Aug 14 13:57:12 | 17h 36m | Cluster | ♥ 1 | Feels really polished! Simple but smart use of theme, cool graphics, cool sounds! Doesn't really know why there is a creepy guy in the background but it's not a game issue so... whatever ! Good job :) |
| Aug 14 14:04:29 | 7m 17s | 7:30 am | ♥ 0 | I tried to launch the game 5 times and it always crashed :( apparently that's an issue nobody has - which is great - but I feel sad, I wanted to try XD any idea of the reason? |
| Aug 14 14:11:25 | 6m 56s | Space Out | ♥ 2 | Very cool! I like those kind of graphics with the paper background and the simple platforms/characters. Also the climb animation is GOLD It is just maybe a bit slow, and sometimes I think it would be great to be able to see further in the level. But anyway, good job :) |
| Aug 14 14:19:54 | 8m 29s | Space Creator | ♥ 1 | That's indeed a relaxing game, cute and funny to play! It took me some time to fully understand what was going on (I have to admit I didn't completely read the rules but I never do so since I expect games to be easy to take in hand) but that was not a big issue. Well done! |
| Aug 14 14:31:15 | 11m 21s | Recycling frenzy | ♥ 1 | It doesn't seem so but it's pretty hard haha ! But it felt cool to play. I didn't really like the way the boxes were coming and how they were supposed to be sorted, maybe I would have find this more funny if the bins were placed in the corners and the boxes were randomly falling from the sky or something like that. But that's only my personal opinion ! Great job dude :) |
| Aug 14 14:41:12 | 9m 57s | Mommy Hates Playday | ♥ 0 | I like how they just run and randomly drop stuff. I wanted to suck up them and throw their face outside haha. The game is indeed pretty slow and there's a thing that I found disappointing : you can't throw things away by the windows. I really think the game would've been better if it was faster but you could a lot of ways to throw toys outside, this would have make the all game dynamic. However, that's a cute game and it felt good to try it out :) |
| Aug 14 15:35:33 | 54m 21s | MY SYSTEM IS GETTING HACKED | ♥ 0 | Cool game! The game feel is great, I just think it was a bit too difficult, but however the shooting is clean as hell and the post processing on your game is lit. Congrats! |
| Aug 14 15:46:57 | 11m 24s | Deep Down | ♥ 0 | That's the kind of games I like to play, just hard enough to require concentration but not impossible. Simple mechanics very well used, REALLY great graphics and audio, and nice use of the theme. I also like the fact that you allowed players to choose between 2 ways at the ends, it was a nice challenge, and it felt very rewarding doing them ! One of the best I've tried so far, bravo ! ;) |
| Aug 14 16:23:06 | 36m 09s | EVOLUTION | ♥ 1 | The best thing about this game is that it is very VERY polished. The idea is simple (which doesn't mean it's bad though :p), the gameplay is simple, but all the little details, the art, the atmosphere... well done Noa :) |
| Aug 14 16:56:22 | 33m 16s | Dumpotopia | ♥ 0 | Good game, I don't really like this art style but that's just my personal opinion, this is well done and polished ! I think the gameplay is too simple, maybe there's a lack of gameplay mechanics (I know you can use power and dash but I could play without using them). However this is cool jam game :D |
| Aug 14 17:18:37 | 22m 15s | Chill Daddy | ♥ 3 | There's a huge lack of feedback, I never knew where I was aiming, and the grampus just killed me like that, I pressed 100 times my attacks but nothing happened. I think that's the bad point of the game, however, the audio is cool, I like the graphics and enjoyed seeing some famous buildings in the background :) Cool game! |
| Aug 14 17:30:37 | 12m 00s | Spaco | ♥ 1 | The main issue of the game is that there are a lot of errors you could have easily avoid. First, you built a development build. Second, the UI is not correctly displayed (my health bar is on the middle on the screen, with a little offset to the left). Last but not least, when I reached what seemed to be the end of the level it still said "You failed". EDIT : I tried again and I could end the level, the final hitbox is just lower than I expected ! You said the artworks turned out good, which is great, but I think it would have been better if you tried a bit harder on the coding part even if it means spending less time doing the graphics. I'd rather play a well programmed ugly game than a beautiful bugged game :p Still, the game is working, the ship is animated, the rocks are rotating... there are also good things and ideas ! Not being able to program well is an issue if you're working alone, so try to improve a bit your coding skills and I'm 100% sure you will make great games ! Keep on working and don't lose motivation ! :D |
| Aug 14 17:50:29 | 19m 52s | Vita Magicae | ♥ 0 | Funny and cute little game ! I had trouble playing since I got an azerty keyboard and I could not use arrow keys (please think of it next time XD). But it was an enjoyable game experience, and I especially like the graphics :) |
| Aug 14 20:00:29 | 2h 10m | Cyber Janitor | ♥ 0 | This was a peaceful and relaxing game experience :) As it has been told more feedbacks would have been cool, also my camera got sometimes stuck when sticking to the big boxes, and it was sometimes hard seeing what I was doing (but I'll admit that must be what is happening in real life when carrying such big boxes haha). Despite of this very little issues I like it ! |
| Aug 14 20:13:34 | 13m 05s | Escape Alienation | ♥ 1 | The game is funny to play, but it goes crazy veeery fast, there were so much enemies on screen that I couldn't see where I was, still, it didn't matter since I only had to spam space to grow the playground size. However the thing I like is the amount of particles on screen, it felt great having those feedbacks, it felt like I was really destroying things and that's so cool! |
| Aug 14 20:39:48 | 26m 14s | Blow the Hen Down | ♥ 2 | The absurdity and the universe made me think of the Monkey Island games. I love the idea, it's well done, it's great to be able to use cannons and bombs, and throwing chicken is just funny at all :D Good job ! |
| Aug 14 21:50:03 | 1h 10m | Storage Madness | ♥ 2 | I got scared by Google Chrome. It was nice to play, I really like the graphics and the feedbacks, they're great, the only thing I would say is bad is the fire rate. But that's not a big issue :) |
| Aug 15 11:30:32 | 13h 40m | Running out of Graves | ♥ 0 | Well that's actually pretty hard! But it's fun to play though, maybe I would have let more time to put out the fire, and sometimes I couldn't move diagonally while moving a dead body, but that wasn't this troublesome. Funny little game ! Great job :) |
| Aug 15 12:41:02 | 1h 10m | Pop it! | ♥ 2 | Pretty cute game ! I would have like some funny background music and maybe tell the player what he score was after he lost XD (even if we can see the highscore by playing again) Oh yeeeah |
| Aug 15 14:40:21 | 1h 59m | Stacy The Muscle | ♥ 1 | Funny little game! I liked the design of the barbarian XD I died because I got stuck :( The only little think I would say is to reduce a bit the sword volume, the "swoosh" sound gets annoying after a few minutes, but that's all ! |
| Aug 15 14:48:04 | 7m 43s | Mindlapse | ♥ 3 | To be honest I don't really like this kind of art, but it fits very well the game and the atmosphere. Same for audio, it's well done and it gives the all thing a creepy/mysterious feeling and it's great. I found the gameplay a bit too slow, but I like nervous and dynamic gameplays usually, so I'm not saying that it's bad, just my personal opinion. It also lacks feedbacks and details, maybe an idle animation, some camera shaking on taking damages or kills, some building particles. I know it take some time to add, and the spirit of jams is to have a short amount of time, but I think you can't ignore details. Overall this is a very good game ! Had a good moment playing it ! Good job :) |
| Aug 15 14:51:18 | 3m 14s | Pats Pack | ♥ 1 | That's pretty hard XD But I like it, and I mostly like the fact that there are a lot of feedbacks (particles, sounds, etc), it makes the whole thing really enjoyable to play and pretty addictive too :) Maybe you could find a music that fits the game ? It would be great ! |
| Aug 15 15:00:03 | 8m 45s | No Place To Die | ♥ 1 | Felt some Saints Row vibes haha, reminded of the dubstep gun. The movement was quite difficult to master, since the player moves depending of its own forward vector and not the world space vector, so you always have to check where your player is aiming to know how to move, or use the mouse to shoot somewhere... anyway, this was the bad point in my opinion but it's okay, it didn't make the game not enjoyable. Liked the graphics and feedback too ! It was shaking a bit too much but that was great ! |
| Aug 15 15:06:30 | 6m 27s | Darkest Shade Of Night | ♥ 3 | It took me a moment to completely understand the controls, the gameplay etc, but at the end it was very cool! Feels polished, detailed, a great job for a 72 hours production. The work on lighting is great, the atmosphere, the mood are great, that was very cool to experience the game. I simply think you should've made music transitions instead of doing a volume settings menu :p |
| Aug 15 17:59:25 | 2h 52m | Quick Packer | ♥ 0 | Funny game! Simple concept but not this easy to make, some physic collisions bugs made some objects go through walls but that's a part of the game so I dealt with it :p |
| Aug 15 18:50:10 | 50m 45s | Where's my kingdom?! | ♥ 1 | The idea is cool ! I like the fact that you can move, conquer, attack and everything, it feels like you're really doing something, not just running around. But it was pretty hard though, and I think it could have been much better with feedbacks like simple sounds or FX, to really know what's going on. Pretty jam game overall :) |
| Aug 16 14:50:02 | 19h 59m | Miss Eyesore | ♥ 2 | Hi ! As a horror game amateur and for having myself worked on a horror game for this ludum dare I'll allow myself a detailed feedback ! First, the game is beautiful, there are only a few assets and textures (which is normal for a 72 hours production) but the lighting makes the job, it makes the environment stressful along with the sound effects of the alarm, the generators, etc... The only thing I would say about the sound design is that the music sounds more like a reflexion puzzle game. I, personally, prefer ambiant sound than music in horror games, but it doesn't bother me if there's one, however this one was not accurate in my opinion (though it didn't reduce the game quality !). But after a few games I was almost lost, not completely understanding what I had to do and how. Even if the introduction texts give the game a little interesting storyline, I read it between the lines to be honest because I don't really want to play a horror game to read long texts. That's not really a bad point, that's my opinion, but maybe you could've gone a bit faster to the point, with less text ? I eventually figured out how the game was working, and from that moment I could really enjoy it. Walking through the corridors is scary, the monster and the way he catches you is frightening, but the thing that's very terryfying is that he seems able to catch you from almost anywhere, so I had a feeling that the game over was kind of random. I know it's not, but sometimes (not often, just a few times) I was like "how the hell did I lose right now ??" Also I like the use of the theme. When I realised the use of closing doors giving access to broken generators I was wowed by the idea, which is simple but perfectly fits the whole thing ! Good job on that. And one thing I would have not do, is showing Miss Eyesore in the main menu. Not knowing what the enemy looks like makes it even more scary :p To conclude, this was a truly enjoyable experience, a very well ludum dare game, and a good little horror game that could be extended to become an incredible one ! And if my feedback is a bit hard, well this is simply because I liked the game and I think there's a potential (but don't worry I know making AAA-games in 3 days is hard haha) ! Great job to the team :) |
