Aug 13 10:15:57 Demonologist ♥ 1 Nice game! I love how you don't really have any health, just a meter that can't go above a certain point. The menu graphics were very blurry (But the in-game graphics were awesome!), and the text was quire hard to read (I would also suggest making the text pox either out of the way, or slightly transparent, it's quire annoying). Overall, though, good job!
Aug 13 18:37:03 8h 21m Get Outer Space! ♥ 1 Awesome game! The sound cues are very nice (Except the armour pick up sound, it's far too loud), the game looks amazing, and I love how you can change the hold sizes, and the idea in general is just fantastic! In terms of constructive criticism, I would recommend there being much less asteroids for the first minute or so, as the game feels far too frantic when you don't really know the mechanics. Also, I would ditch the physics-based mechanics for holding gold and armour. I think the game would feel much better if the player had a greater sense of control, and I believe that ditching the physics-based mechanics in the hold would do this. However, take what I said with a grain of salt. It's very clear from playing this game that you are a much more experienced game developer than me, this is just my opinion on how the game could me made better, this game is amazing as it is.
Aug 13 20:18:22 1h 41m Roops ♥ 0 Very nice game! I love how it starts out really relaxed, then gradually becomes more frantic to the point where you're moving your mouse so fast that you can't keep up, then you realise "Aarrgghh, I need more parking spaces" Just overall it was an incredible game. In terms of criticism, the only thing I think to say is to use less colours when spriting the cars, but that's about it! Great Job!
Aug 14 11:08:44 14h 50m Invasion of The Jelly-Aliens ♥ 1 Cool game! I love the mechanic of how the more that get through, the less space you have to dodge. The graphics and music are very nice, and I like how you can buy upgrades between waves. One thing I would say is that I don't like the ~5 seconds at the start where there's nothing. Being able to die in 1 hit means that rounds can be very short, and that ~5 seconds at the start gets a bit tedious after the first time. The other thing I'd say is maybe provide some more detailed stats about weapons. I died in the second wave because I bought the mortar, not realising how slow it was. Overall, though, brilliant game!
Aug 14 11:29:49 21m 05s Kanaveral ♥ 0 While I question the choice to use Kongregate, the game was quite interesting. It seemed like some weird mix between a puzzle game and something else that I can't really put into words, but it turned out good in a weird way. There were a lot of bugs, but overall it was quiet an enjoyable game!
Aug 14 12:06:44 36m 55s Running Space ♥ 0 Great game! The gameplay was good (Apart from the controls), the art looked nice, and the sound sounded decent. The only thing I could think to suggest is to use The Binding of Isaac's control scheme, using WASD to move, and arrow keys to move.
Aug 14 18:17:16 6h 10m Space Goats 2 ♥ 1 Cool game! The game has a very nice humorous touch, and the light-hearted sound cues combined with the serious music creates a ridiculous atmosphere that makes the game just incredible! The only thing I would suggest is some sort of timing system when eating things (Perhaps the closer you are to them the less you slow down), that is really forgiving at the start, but gradually gives you less and less time to time eating enemies correctly. I didn't watch your stream, due to me making my own game, so I don't know if you planned to do this, but I think it would add a nice touch to the game. Also, I think it would be nice if there was a shorter death animation. But overall, great job, Tim!
Aug 14 19:03:36 46m 20s Prime Planets ♥ 1 Very enjoyable game! While the mechanic isn't something new, it's plain to see from the amount of polish and what-not that this game was developed with a technical focus rather than a design-based focus in mind, so I feel like it should be rated that way. The AI seemed to work well, and the graphics and sound are incredibly good for having been made in 72 hours. The only thing I can thing to give criticism on is that I think the game would be much better if the game showed what number your string of numbers and operators would make. My brain's still fried from doing Ludum Dare myself, so I made quite a few stupid mistakes because of this, but that's really the only negative thing I can say. Overall, it's just a fantastic game!
Aug 15 10:55:17 15h 51m Little Planet ♥ 1 Very well polished game! The graphics and sound are great, but I thing that he asteroids come too quickly. I found it's more down to luck than anything else, as you only really have 1 turret at that time, and it has to be in a position where you can actually shoot it. You could just wait for the asteroid to spawn, then build the turret, but I feel like that that defeats the whole purpose of building up a defence. But, in general, it was a great game to play!
Aug 15 11:18:27 23m 10s You May Live (YML) ♥ 1 I didn't really understand how do do some of the things, but the game has that same emotionally gut-wrenching feel that I got when playing Papers, Please, and the graphics and audio were very well done!
Aug 15 14:26:58 3h 08m Noninterferance ♥ 1 Great concept, and a very well made game! I feel like the grid didn't really work as a background, but I really loved the frantic feel, and it feels awesome to just get into a rhythm of pressing the right buttons in the right patterns!
Aug 16 13:23:33 22h 56m Crate Stacker 📦 ♥ 1 Cool game! I really like the graphics & audio, and the idea as well! I think the audio would be better if it were a bit muffled. I think this would enforce the fact that everyone's having fun but you. Also, the controls are a bit awkward. Using X and Y to move the crates renders using WASD basically impossible. Another thing is that the room where you stack the crates is just a tiny bit too small. I don't know if this was intentional, but it made stacking crates on the 4th layer very awkward if you wanted them to be fit very close together, as you couldn't jump over them. However, it is nevertheless very fun and enjoyably to play!
Aug 16 15:27:41 2h 04m CheatDay ♥ 1 Very funny game! The concept is hilarious, and it's well executed as well! I think the food digestion mechanic could've been explained a bit better, the game looked good, though the jumping seemed quite floaty, making movement quite awkward. As an overall game, however, it was very fun to play!
Aug 17 11:31:02 20h 03m King Midas ♥ 0 Cool game with cool art! I think some of the mechanics could've been explained a bit better (I didn't really know what to do), but the game played quite well and I really felt the pressure of not having enough space!
Aug 17 11:48:32 17m 30s Giant Sun ♥ 1 Fun game! The physics seemed to work well, and I was very fun! I think that the audio, while it sounded great, didn't fit the game's anxious feel. Also, when you are on a planet, A and D should move you left and right, without you having to take off. I don't know if this would make the game too easy, but currently it's incredibly hard to get oxygen and fuel. Despite that, the game's amazing to play, well done!
Aug 17 12:23:21 34m 49s Quantum Customs ♥ 1 Cool game! I love the abstract art style, and the music's great as well! The game's fun to play, and the messages at the end of each day are a nice touch. Great work!
Aug 17 12:39:27 16m 06s Sakaven Simimulator ♥ 1 Awesome game! The game's resolution was a bit high, but in game looked incredible, and played incredibly well as well!
Aug 17 13:10:28 31m 01s Shark Barrage ♥ 1 Great game for a first attempt! The game seemed to play well, and it seems like every few attempts there's something new to play for. I think a different progression system could be used (e.g. every few minutes the sharks go away and you have time to repair your boat and buy upgrades), but overall, well done!
Aug 17 13:13:08 2m 40s EVOLUTION ♥ 1 Epic game! The concept is hilarious (Though a bit disturbing), the graphics are the best I've seen this jam so far, and the audio is incredible!
Aug 19 11:04:21 45h 51m Farms and Polders Tycoon ♥ 1 Cool game! The method to turn land into water was a bit unclear, but it played well, and looked and sounded great! I would recommend getting rid of them things that are made when you construct a sea wall (They're a bit annoying), but overall, awesomejob!
Aug 19 11:19:57 15m 36s Arnold, the dazed Grasshopper ♥ 1 Nice game! The concept is hilarious, and the music awesome, but the jumping is really awkward. I don't know if that was the point, but I would definitely recommend altering the jump in some way (Maybe make it so you jump less high, I was always overshooting my jumps). Other than that, well done!
Aug 19 11:33:18 13m 21s Gut Feeding ♥ 2 Awesome game! I love how you have to manage digesting food and eating food, it really creates a frantic feel for the game that the music somehow compliments nicely. I think that the game would feel better if the food weighed a bit less (It's currently really awkward to fling food at the guy's mouth). Other than that, the game's amazing!
Aug 19 11:43:12 9m 54s Running Out of Space ♥ 0 Great game! I love the literal take on the theme, and the game has a great feel! While the graphics aren't amazing, the jumping animation looks awesome! There were a few bugs where I couldn't jump, even though my meter wasn't empty, but other than that, well done!
Aug 19 12:00:09 16m 57s Running out of Space ♥ 1 Cool game! It was very simple (Which I liked), and the way the player's sprite rotates is a nice touch. The collisions were a bit buggy, but it didn't matter too much. Overall, great job!
Aug 19 12:07:35 7m 26s Dungeon Trader ♥ 1 Great game! The collisions were a bit awkward (It was quite hard to give an item when you're in a rush), but the game looked great (Especially the items), and sounded great. I think the game was too complicated at the start (It took me a couple of tries to figure everything out), but in general, great job!
