| Aug 13 11:43:53 | Uroboros Initiative | ♥ 2 | Really interesting idea, It took me a while to get the hang of it and when it finally started clicking I didn't realise I could zoom out and drag the map around! But I figured that out pretty quickly and then found and successfully stabilised the research station :) I did have a weird "bug" of sorts, when I zoomed-out and/or dragged the map, I no longer had any indication that I was hovering over the tiles, and there were no triangle/shape indicators being rendered either. I did manage to recreate this bug when I dragged over to the edge of the map and zoomed out. I also sometimes needed to double click to place a spacer, this again seems to be to do with zooming out (or just my browser/PC). Overall really cool idea and a very fun/interesting game. Well done! | |
| Aug 13 12:56:00 | 1h 12m | Claustrophobia | ♥ 1 | Interesting little game, I too "solved" the puzzle first by hitting the exit. Might be more interesting if instead of the spikes being timed, they instead close in on the player when they make an error in the order of pressure plates they step on - this might give a bit more feedback to the player on how they are doing, and some more time to think about the puzzle itself. As others have said it is very short too (although I understand that giving the development timeframe!) Well done! |
| Aug 13 13:20:42 | 24m 42s | OVERLOADED | ♥ 0 | This is a really neat concept and also my personal hell, I hate crowded public transport! Really well executed, great use of the theme! |
| Aug 13 13:27:31 | 6m 49s | Power Plant | ♥ 1 | Really nice idea, I especially love the aesthetic/art direction. Great idea to have multiple types of flowers with different effects. Managed to snag a win on my second try :) Nice! |
| Aug 13 14:31:57 | 1h 04m | Snek | ♥ 0 | A classic! I definitely wasn't use to playing it with only left and right keys! But perhaps I am spoilt. Well done! |
| Aug 13 14:40:43 | 8m 46s | Snake Reduction | ♥ 1 | Nice work (especially for the time), as dries vuyisteke said I think the snake graphic is actually kinda cute and definitely makes it feel like there was a bit of love/effort put into what is otherwise just a snake clone (with a nice twist!). I managed 54 food as my best run, not sure how that stacks up. |
| Aug 13 14:49:46 | 9m 03s | DE/VOID | ♥ 2 | Love it, love the minimalist graphic style, love the music and especially love the concept. So far easily one of my favourite games from this years Ludum Dare. |
| Aug 13 15:23:25 | 33m 39s | Darklings | ♥ 1 | Absolutely love the graphics and aesthetic of this game, and while the puzzles aren't very hard it was still a joy to play! |
| Aug 13 18:53:13 | 3h 29m | Concentrate | ♥ 1 | I love this, really nice and actually quite difficult. I probably spent more time in the Main Menu just making melodies than actually playing the game, but the game itself was a lot of fun too! |
| Aug 14 07:56:21 | 13h 03m | Encumbered - Deckbuilding Inventory Action | ♥ 1 | This is a really cool idea, beautiful pixel art graphics and a good variety of items/skills/cards (whatever you prefer to call them). It took me a minute to get used to the controls but after that I had a lot of fun with it, great work. |
| Aug 14 17:52:15 | 9h 55m | No_Space | ♥ 2 | Hey this was cool, really liked the music and art style, set a great spacey/sci-fi mood. the cockpit view of the outside space was very small - which at first I didn't like but then I thought it was potentially as a result of the theme(??). Either way it gave a bit of a claustrophobic feel to it, which actually heightened the tension somewhat. The side view cameras were a nice touch too. I enjoyed getting hit by space debri/what looked like crashed ships and satellites and the effect it had on my ship. Having some kind of alarm sound and/or indicator on the HUD could have been cool when this happened! I did have some issues, sometimes when respawning I would hit the station and start spinning wildly out of control, might be as a result of turning my mouse as I died. I also had to Alt-F4 to exit the game, not sure if I missed something there. Nice work! |
| Aug 14 17:59:33 | 7m 18s | Running from ⭐⭐Space⭐⭐ | ♥ 3 | Great Art Assets! Loved the grappling hook mechanic as well. As others have said I didn't really feel like the enemies were much of a threat, I ended the game being absolutely blasted by a bunch of them but still made it through the portal. Still a lot of fun regardless! |
| Aug 14 18:13:58 | 14m 25s | Reasonable Claustrophobia | ♥ 2 | This is a great entry! Beautiful graphics, fantastic game mechanics and use of the theme. Great music and sound too. No criticism here, really well done. |
| Aug 15 04:57:37 | 10h 43m | You Shoot Walls | ♥ 1 | Nice entry, as others have said I think if enemies were stopped by the walls it would have been a bit better. Even if they couldn't find their way around it and just got stuck. Great concept though! |
| Aug 16 10:34:24 | 29h 36m | Crate Typist | ♥ 1 | Fun idea, I enjoyed playing it. As some others have said sometimes - especially when it begins to get faster and faster - it gets hard to track which word you started typing. I got a score of 1020 and into wave 13, but I made an error when typing a word, tried to type some of the other - many words - and couldn't. My own fault, but at the speed everything was going I had no idea what I had to type. Despite that one issue I had with it I thought the game was a really neat idea, a lot of fun to play and really satisfying when you clear a wave. Some of the sounds were good, some a little iffy (the error sound) but they got the message across. Overall really nice work! |
