| Aug 14 17:48:51 | Dark Lord Ludum Dare | ♥ 1 | Well, what can I say.... not dark enough! Ha, no, just kidding, haven't played it yet but I will soon, and then we shall see who's the darkest lord in the land! | |
| Aug 15 20:17:16 | 26h 28m | Achtung die Schlange | ♥ 0 | Dude, the music! I take from it not being part of the rating that you didn't create it yourself? It's really getting into my brain, man. :) Funny little game. I just wish there was an AI to play against, instead of just being on your own in Singleplayer. I definitely like the idea of having a snake game with a richer environment. Regarding the theme, it seems the snake is already running out of space all by itself due to growing (without eating apples, how strange). The shrinking room is a nice addition, but it started so late it didn't really seem to affect the game very much - but maybe I'm just not good enough a player. Reached 149 before dying in the acceleration area because I didn't take into account turns are accelerated as well. Good effort overall, and bonus points for making it playable in browser! |
| Aug 16 15:57:37 | 19h 40m | Running out of Keys | ♥ 2 | Really innovative! Running out of keys was a nice idea. Also some interesting gameplay elements that work well together. I was really surprised how tough puzzle 2 turned out to be, but ultimately beat it. The third one however defeated me - it looked so easy at first, onyl to turn into a monster after a few moves. :D I personally would have liked captions on the keys. The way it was, I always had to look back and forth between screen and keyboard to make sure I always hit the right key and don't accidentally die. Mouse controls would have worked as well, but I admit pressing virtual keyboard keys with your mouse in this game would have been somewhat weird.. :) |
| Aug 16 16:02:30 | 4m 53s | Mars Defender | ♥ 2 | Haha, well done guys. I was torn between rating highly on sound or on humour. Went for the latter as my ears are hurting.. :D I assume I lost when the counte reached 0? Good effort, keep it up, your games will only get more awesome over time! |
| Aug 18 07:53:20 | 39h 50m | Dear Leader's Diet Plan | ♥ 1 | I don't know how to feel! This is absolutely the funny kind of weird. Hilarious premise, and quite polished overall. I just wish there was a bit more to the gameplay.. :) Well done though! |
| Aug 29 18:09:00 | 274h 15m | Space Ninja | ♥ 0 | Can't say I didn't like this one! The idea is cool, and the solar systems and shadow casting planets are very well done. Strengths were definitely the atmosphere (it's oddly immersive actually) and innovation. I also appreciate you stayed with only 3 levels and thus made it easy to finish the game. The only thing that could need some improvement imho is the physics / controls. Steering the spaceship is somewhat daunting and not very rewarding - even though probably physically sound. Having less inertia, and more control over where you're going, would probably make for a more enjoyable experience. Also kudos for using LÖVE, and even making it playable in web. Good work. :) |
| Aug 29 18:17:34 | 8m 34s | Stack Rush! | ♥ 0 | Funny little game. I like how the rows explode tetris-style when they're full. And just like @pamoy I ended up invincible on my second attempt and just watched the madness unfold. The game actually looks quite impressive once the speed goes up and boxes keep exploding all around you. :) |
| Sep 1 06:59:37 | 60h 42m | ForestDefence | ♥ 1 | Really cool! I like these games that are extremely easy to grasp, yet take a bit of experimentation to win. Took me 3 or 4 tries until I had a reasonably good strategy. Ate the hunters first and then had to lure the lumberjacks to a position where I could hunt them without them running off the grass too soon, which worked out well. Am a happy lonely lion now. Well done! |
| Sep 1 07:04:20 | 4m 43s | Ludicrous Lift | ♥ 0 | Really good and funny take on the theme. Got to floor 6, then I made the mistake of holding a guy while the others entered and thus got trapped on a falling tile. Noooooooo! I like it, well done! |
| Sep 1 07:15:39 | 11m 19s | Brick It! | ♥ 0 | Quite a fun game actually, really flowy in the beginning, until the lag begins. :P I like the complex behaviour of the turrets. The only downside for me is that pushing the boxes doesn't really feel necessary, as, at least for me, it was never a problem of too little space, but a problem of too many bullets. The lag actually added its own weird depth to the gameplay, and it becomes more strategic than intuitive to judge where the bullets will move in the next frame. :D Also very nice audio, and the particle effects work really well. |
| Sep 1 07:27:40 | 12m 01s | Brain's little symbiont | ♥ 0 | GLUTEN IS POISON!!! Haha, love it. Was just sitting here giggling the whole time. I see you're making proper use of your PHD skills here. :) The whole time I wasn't quite sure if this was a puzzle game or an adventure or something else. I think I'm calling it a fuzzle now. That sounds fitting. Well done I say, this game certainly was a local maximum in my testing. |
| Sep 1 07:45:20 | 17m 40s | The Curse | ♥ 1 | Have to say I'm a bit torn. Atmosphere and most of the graphics is really nice - like the animations, the fire, the trees in the back - but the ground really doesn't fit the art style, and the environment interaction seems like you ran out of time before properly implementing it. Also the game got extremely laggy every time the camera moved with the player. It took me a while to figure out how I was supposed to overcome the obstacles, but that worked out well after a while. Even though I still don't know how a piece of what appears to be rock not only destroys a wooden wall, but on top of that turns into a nice bridge. :D But well, a bit of game logic is certainly welcome in jam games. All in all good work despite the mentioned issues. Maybe next time use keys that work for all players though - although I realize it must be really irritating for you to encounter all these WASD games, right? :D So maybe some due revenge actually. |
| Sep 1 07:54:25 | 9m 05s | Crystal Invasion | ♥ 1 | I really didn't expect this to be so stressful! Damn. So much to do, so much death, so many bombs, ooof! As others said, this is surprisingly polished. Visually this might be the best game I've seen so far. Gameplay and presentation are also top notch. I just wish it was a little easier, I couldn't manage to get past the 3rd or 4th level as it just took me too long to destroy the crystals. Great game though, really impressive! |
| Sep 2 14:11:56 | 30h 17m | Chill Chair Simulator | ♥ 1 | What on earth! Such a weird and unexpected game. I really struggled with the controls, but I guess that's to be expected when you control a guy who's bound to a chair. Definitely interesting stuff. Great atmosphere and graphics. Unfortunately I didn't make it out alive. :( |
| Sep 2 14:23:02 | 11m 06s | Get Off My Space | ♥ 0 | Got 670! Cute graphics and quite funny premise. Destroying tractors with arrows, I'm feeling like Rambo here. Diagonal movement would have been a nice addition, other than that it turned out quite well! |
| Sep 2 14:31:56 | 8m 54s | Gravity Hook | ♥ 0 | Not bad! One of the rare games which actually feels like a proper game, with levels and learning curve and everything! I really like the level transitions which make it feel like a continous world. Very well done I have to day! Only made it to level 7 though, couldn't solve that one. :( I hope I haven't missed out on any spectacular features after that. Really well done though, great entry! |
| Sep 2 14:44:03 | 12m 07s | Colony Builder | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept, the kind of game where you can probably spend a lot of time refining your strategy until everything works perfectly. I found it a bit difficult to assess which symbols were what - it might have been better to use the symbols in the descriptions as well, instead of text. Also visual bars instead of numbers (or additionally to the numbers) would have been helpful for the resources. I didn't quite understand the corruption behaviour, so just surrounded it with walls on all sides - unfortunately walls seem to be quite expensive, so I couldn't keep up getting enough metal. Lost after covering 2/3 of the map. Also, building stuff via number keys or something would be nice. Building stuff on top of the map was quite a struggle due to the large distances to cover with the mouse. :D Fairly interesting mechanics though, good work! |
| Sep 2 14:49:49 | 5m 46s | Robo Revolt | ♥ 0 | This is quite cool! Funny premise. Hitting robots is surprisingly satisfying due to the good feedback (push pack, sound and animation). Also good work with the programmer art. :D Well done. |
| Sep 4 14:36:02 | 47h 46m | Getting Over Gold Hoarding | ♥ 2 | 9100! I feel like this is a decent score. Very cool concept, and fun and engaging to play. Not to mention the whole setup is just the right kind of ridiculous. I love the confused shopkeeper just constantly getting in trouble, aimlessly wandering into the gold. |
