| Dec 3 13:04:30 | Dungeon Clicker Crowler | ♥ 0 | Hi, pretty nice game! I liked the idea and the core loop but in my opinion the game is much too difficult. I'd give way more items on the first levels and reduce the fire decay rate (maybe even hve no decay on the first level so players can get a feel of what they need to do). Also it's a bit frustrating that the fire decays when you're changing levels. I also had some trouble with the controls sometimes (playing in browser). But it was a nice experience overall :) | |
| Dec 3 19:41:22 | 6h 36m | Manik Hungers | ♥ 0 | I like the art direction and some of the polish touches are nice. The camera looks really cool, but to be honest for me it was difficult to control and I couldn't even get the sword and shield, so I didn't get to see the ending. |
| Dec 3 19:50:23 | 9m 01s | Knight Soul Redemption | ♥ 0 | Nice game, controls were fairly intuitive and the mood was pretty good. Game difficulty seems OK and the encounters were rewarding.Too bad there as no music, but the sound effects were great! |
| Dec 3 19:55:21 | 4m 58s | BurnYourExHeart | ♥ 0 | Really fun game, simple mechanic but hard to master. Too bad there aren't more elements to underline the love thing, like some sounds or some music. Good job! |
| Dec 3 20:38:32 | 43m 11s | Fading Light | ♥ 1 | Congrats on the first game! Cool concept. It's a bit hard to understand if you are carrying a part or not, so I had some trouble fixing things around. Also, I think the decay on things is way too fast, but maybe I am just dumb. Anyways, cool graphics! :) |
| Dec 3 20:51:21 | 12m 49s | For the Team! | ♥ 1 | Hi, It's an interesting entry, but to be honest I think you went for a concept a bit complex for a jam. I didn't figure how to use the split mechanic and the swap leader one was a bit anecdotic. Impressive size for the dungeon, but I'd probably have gone for something smaller with a tighter experience overall :) It was still a nice game! |
| Dec 3 20:56:22 | 5m 01s | Fuite / Escape | ♥ 1 | Hi, nice game! I was drawn by the minimalist art direction and I must say I really dig the look of your game :). Too bad you didn't have any sound, could have made for an awesome overall mood. Good job! |
| Dec 3 21:03:08 | 6m 46s | Sacrifice Yourself! | ♥ 0 | Hi, a simple entry, but it does the job :). Shout out to us AZERTY user, was a pain to control the character :( Maybe arrow keys next time? Would also have been nice with some sound :) |
| Dec 3 21:10:58 | 7m 50s | God n' food | ♥ 1 | Hi, I like management game so was pretty pleased to find this :) A bit simple for my taste and it took me forever to figure out how to sacrifice a resource to the God. With a bit of village management it would have been loads of fun! Good job |
| Dec 3 21:20:03 | 9m 05s | Lost In Space | ♥ 1 | Very nice game, quite polished, cool concept... I had fun :) The only complaint I'd have is that it's a bit hard to parse the 3 needs with their 3 levels, over 10 cubes. That's a looot of info for the player. I know time is tight, but if you consider expanding this I'd go for much easier levels at the start (1 cube with 1 need to explain the mechanics). |
| Dec 3 21:50:57 | 30m 54s | Sacrificed To The God | ♥ 0 | Hi, nice game :) The graphics especially are nice. Not too fond of the camera and you didn't have AZERTY controls, but otherwise the game ran fine ! |
| Dec 3 21:57:13 | 6m 16s | Respawn Bot | ♥ 0 | Very nice game, very polished, good variety of traps, slick UI... very impressive in 48h. I did quit at the platform levels because the character not following the platform made me crazy. Great job! |
| Dec 3 22:03:29 | 6m 16s | Panquetzalt | ♥ 1 | Very nice game, nothing much to add, very good feel. The timer is definitely too short. I'd have gone for longer timer maybe with more options or restrictions from the God. Maybe buy more time by sacrificing randos in the crowd :p? Nice job! |
| Dec 3 22:10:17 | 6m 48s | Sacrifice Party | ♥ 1 | Too bad there wasn't any sound :( I really enjoyed the game and that's the thing it was mostly missing, since your loop is pretty tight. Well done! |
| Dec 3 22:16:17 | 6m 00s | Samurai's Legacy | ♥ 1 | Very impressive art, especially the animation. Good job on the mechanic, simple but straight-forward, and also the level design was good! The gravity felt a bit "floaty" but maybe that's just me. Good job! |
| Dec 3 22:25:03 | 8m 46s | GOATWRATH | ♥ 1 | Hi, nice game, impressive content for so little time, and the balance was quite good! I feel it's a bit too close to the Binding of Isaac in terms of innovation, but the upgrades between levels were a nice twist. |
| Dec 3 22:28:10 | 3m 07s | The Greater Evil | ♥ 0 | Very polished game, I'm impressed by your art style, animations and music (the music was really cool!) Gameplay was more classical but still a nice approach of the theme. Well done! |
| Dec 3 22:36:24 | 8m 14s | You Get Two | ♥ 1 | Feels very nice to play, and the concept is interesting too, and a nice take on the theme. However, you have some cards that cancel each other out, and this provokes a bug of always getting the same card drawn afterwards (even if eventually you hide one of the two good cards). Overall a very nice experience though :) |
| Dec 3 22:46:13 | 9m 49s | Generic Zombie Apocalypse Game Title | ♥ 1 | Day 66 here :). I really enjoyed the game, although there was definitely too much clicking. I think being able to pause somehow lessens the feeling of impending doom brought by the zombies. Maybe a smaller pace with speed controls would have worked even better? Anyways, nice job! |
| Dec 3 22:56:32 | 10m 19s | ASTERION | ♥ 1 | Hi, nice entry, it feels pretty tight overall. The music was rather good :) Gameplay wise I think I'd not have given the "dash" to tributes, made them quite annoying to chase (and with my gooooold!). Also the gameplay encourages you to camp at the middle, I'm not sure if this is what you intended or not. In any case, good job! |
| Dec 4 12:16:09 | 13h 19m | Gifts for Satan | ♥ 1 | I loved this game. Very interesting take on the theme, although a bit literal. I think the most optimized solution is to actually sacrifice each and every child you get and keep your pop as a couple ^^. I'd have liked to be able to have more input though (maybe place some buildings to defend?) Anyways very nice game! |
| Dec 4 12:19:35 | 3m 26s | Entry for 43rd Ludum Dare | ♥ 1 | Very nice music. But no restart on the same level killed it for me :(. Nice mood though! |
| Dec 4 12:27:09 | 7m 34s | For The Will Of Gods | ♥ 1 | Hi, nice game, but needing to click and then drag got tiring really fast. It could have been cool to be able to stack people to sacrifice. Also maybe some improvements to impact the village (one people sacrificed gives more appeasement, or faster people generation, etc.) Cheers! |
| Dec 4 12:33:21 | 6m 12s | Dungeon Sacrifice | ♥ 0 | Nice game, I liked the mood :) Gameplay was a bit slow for me, but I was surprised to see we used more or less the same perspective (top-down with the black circle on the camera)! The genres are quite different though. Well done! |
| Dec 4 20:28:33 | 7h 55m | Dungeon Runer | ♥ 1 | Very interesting approach, not sure I got how you interpreted the theme but other than that the sense of exploration and understanding your little world was really something :) It was still too obfuscated for my taste, would have been cool if you gave us the option to reveal some stuff between runs, or with a special pick-up maybe... anyways, good job :) |
| Dec 4 20:34:32 | 5m 59s | Cultist Clicker | ♥ 0 | Hey, you made an OK clicker game :). I'd advise you next time to give more visual rewards to players as they progress because right now having more sacrifice doesn't really bring us anything other than just generating sacrifices faster. Even tiny visual changes to the character/pentagram could have worked. Congrats on the first game though! |
| Dec 4 20:39:28 | 4m 56s | Sons of Vanity | ♥ 1 | This is an AWESOME concept, and a great idea. Kudos. The execution could have benefited from more work, like, the rules are not super clear on what defines resemblance, so it becomes mostly guesswork and luck. Maybe with more explicit rules and a timer? But apart from that, really cool :) I think my favorite part was the picture of the ancestor getting progressively destroyed. |
| Dec 4 20:46:12 | 6m 44s | Manned Missile Master | ♥ 1 | You did pretty well for going full 3D! I'd have liked the game to be more low-poly like the cave level (that I couldn't beat, it was a bit hard to parse). But the level of polish is impressive and I liked the humor in mission descriptions and victory/defeat texts :) |
| Dec 4 20:56:00 | 9m 48s | Unnecessary Evil | ♥ 2 | Solid entry, very well-made puzzle game. Would have been nice to know more about character abilities, but it was also interesting to deduce them in-game. Agree that spacebar to change characters was not the greatest choice as it's often associated with jumping. Also the difficulty ramps up waaaay too fast for my taste ^^ Great job! |
| Dec 4 21:01:56 | 5m 56s | Buildings Money | ♥ 0 | Interesting mechanic but a bit too simple to really offer impacting choices. Maybe different type of buildings next time, a passive income? Anyways good job on submitting :) |
| Dec 4 21:25:00 | 23m 04s | Sacrifice Ranch | ♥ 0 | Hi, I tried a lot to get the game to actually start but... I was just staring at my little farmer girl sacrifice not growing. Restarted and same thing happened, at day 10 she was still at 0/100 growth. Maybe I did something wrong? Too bad because the concept was interesting, even if a bit surrealist :P |
| Dec 4 21:33:46 | 8m 46s | The Life of a Corporate Drone | ♥ 1 | Nice concept, too bad you couldn't push it further! I'd have liked if the different bars actually interacted between each other. It's also a shame that we're so focused on the little bars emptying when you made really cool art on the bottom, but my eyes couldn't leave the bars!! |
| Dec 4 21:49:30 | 15m 44s | Dungeon of Sacrifice | ♥ 1 | Too bad you didn't have any sound as the game was awesome! Got a vide of Binding of Isaac and Risk of Rain with the items, had a lot of fun playing! I feel the wound effects shouldn't be so easily cancelled out by the items you get though. I found that it was always better to take a wound and a chest than passing it. Ah and next jam please don't forget us AZERTY users :( Great job! |
| Dec 4 21:52:49 | 3m 19s | Old Ways | ♥ 0 | I really digged the graphics, the gameplay was less engaging to me. Nice submission though! |
| Dec 4 22:03:27 | 10m 38s | sleep | ♥ 1 | I am very impressed oO. Your ambiant track is awesome and perfect for the mood you went for. Gameplay is intriguing and works quite well for the sacrifice theme. I thoroughly enjoyed finishing your game, I wish there were 1 or 2 more areas. |
| Dec 4 22:07:52 | 4m 25s | The War of the Four Races | ♥ 1 | I like the concept but as a sim player it was a bit frustrating to not be able to fully enjoy the simulation unfolding below, as I had to keep focus on the population numbers and the kill rules. Nevertheless it was a nice experience :) |
| Dec 4 22:16:00 | 8m 08s | Penance | ♥ 1 | Very cool, impressive game with a high level of polish. I did want more content after finding the book :) |
| Dec 5 12:28:42 | 14h 12m | Suicide Sanctum | ♥ 1 | Nice job, even though a bit classical in its approach to the theme. The music was nice and so were the sounds! |
| Dec 5 12:33:04 | 4m 22s | Don't be a feast | ♥ 1 | This game made me feel so uncomfortable x). I don't know if it was what you were going for. The visuals and sounds are peculiar. Otherwise gameplay is pretty straightforward, the chicken is a bit "floaty" for my taste. Nice job! |
| Dec 5 20:07:40 | 7h 34m | A Starving Monk | ♥ 1 | Strange idea to do a runner for the theme but why not ^^. I liked the art the most I think. |
| Dec 5 20:14:40 | 7m 00s | Blight Tower | ♥ 1 | Quite interesting! Indeed it feels ambitious, but as a result the gameplay wasn't dynamic enough for me. I can see what you were going for though and I'm impressed. |
| Dec 5 20:19:24 | 4m 44s | Garden of Frogs | ♥ 1 | Nice game, well put together, could almost ship as is for mobile :). Maybe if you add more enemies, some upgrades etc. |
| Dec 5 20:25:28 | 6m 04s | Eldritchual | ♥ 0 | Nice game, a bit slow for my taste (would have been perfect with speed controls), but I definitely enjoyed the art and the overall mood. |
| Dec 7 12:12:57 | 39h 47m | Devilman Tossbaby | ♥ 3 | Hi, nice entry, felt fluid to play and I liked the iso view. However I felt the music was strangely out of theme with the mood you had. |
| Dec 7 12:15:24 | 2m 27s | Suicide to step upside | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept, too bad you were caught up on time. |
| Dec 7 12:30:40 | 15m 16s | My Little Cultist - Sacrifice is Magic - Babby's First Eldritch Ritual edition | ♥ 1 | Very very impressive. I like strategy games and yours was really cool. I wish there was more base-building involved. |
