Dec 4 02:37:50 Evan and The Jellyfish Sword ♥ 1 Super hard! I like the sword mechanic though, and cool job on the theme.
Dec 4 04:38:21 2h 00m Meat Spike ♥ 1 Great game design. I like the option of multiple difficulties as well. You also did a good job of visually hinting where interesting paths might be without making it too obvious. Nice work!
Dec 4 05:01:39 23m 18s The Fallen Prince ♥ 1 Really nice sprite work! Reminded me a bit of actraiser. Nice little game :)
Dec 4 05:09:16 7m 37s Night of the BloodMoon ♥ 1 Really nice game! Graphics are great, balance is good, pretty hard though. Theres an impressive amount of mechanics for a compo game here, though I did find it hard to manage all of the abilities. Last fight was super intense. Nice work!
Dec 4 06:19:08 1h 09m virus.exewin32.syskill ♥ 1 LOVE IT. Always wanted to make a command-driven game. The keyboard sounds are a great touch! Like others have said auto scrolling would be a really nice thing to fix. Also you should make "A:" or "cd A:" work to switch to A drive. Nice work all around!
Dec 5 03:55:07 21h 35m Master Key ♥ 0 Awesome little puzzle game. One of the better uses of "sacrifice controls" I've seen so far!
Dec 5 03:57:48 2m 41s Manned Missile Master ♥ 1 Cool idea :) It really made me want to play it with motion controls
Dec 5 03:59:18 1m 30s Tiny square - Ludum dare 43 ♥ 1 I think maybe the physics are not being scaled by the framerate or something? The sensitivity and speed is so extreme its kind of unplayable for me on my machine, unfortunately :(
Dec 5 04:05:47 6m 29s Legend of the Aztec ♥ 0 The sprites and animation look awesome, so nice job on that! My main issue was as others have said, I found the controls so unresponsive that I had trouble really doing much at all in the game. You probably just need to interrupt and/or reset whatever action/animation is occuring whenever the player clicks. Would have liked to keep playing!
Dec 5 04:15:00 9m 13s Ludum Dare Simulator ♥ 0 Amazing concept, I LOVE the song and love the timelapse webcam animation. I guess the fact that its just turn based tetris didnt really bother me, was just having so much fun with the concept. Awesome job :D
Dec 5 04:19:47 4m 47s Sacrifice For The King ♥ 1 Simple but solid. Nice job
Dec 5 04:23:57 4m 10s Two Minutes 'Til Tribute ♥ 1 Nice little game, though I found it to be a bit easy - maybe you could give the player slightly less health? I like the number of upgrade choices you provided, that was a nice surprise. Could also have used some very minimal sound effects. Nice work!
Dec 6 04:28:34 24h 04m Goat Life ♥ 1 I like the unexpected dungeon! Nice sprite work as well. Some real basic sound effects would go a long way for the experience here.
Dec 6 04:38:06 9m 32s Montezuma's Revenge ♥ 1 Absolutely love the sprite work and the 3d stuff as well. The music is cool and the whole thing has an awesome feel to it. I mainly struggled with the controls, didn't really feel in control of my character very well and wasn't exactly sure what to do. Nice job still though
Dec 8 00:14:03 43h 35m Soul Reaper ♥ 1 I really like the atmosphere of the game. The look is cohesive and the sound effects are nice. It's got an instant immersion to it. The controls felt great as well. I think the only design limitation here is that the reapers can only really be dealt with by kiting at a very specific distance, since you both have the same melee range. Something about speed, hitboxes, or weapons need to be tweaked a bit, to improve that, but I'm not sure what exactly. Overall cool concept and really nice job!
Dec 8 00:20:41 6m 38s Lonely Wanderer ♥ 1 Incredible atmosphere, really nice work.
Dec 8 00:32:04 11m 23s Death Metal Crowd Pusher ♥ 3 I think this is a nearly perfect game jam entry honestly. While the game itself is quite simple, the audio, graphics, and mechanics all directly support the theme and concept, which is a rare thing to pull off well in limited time. Amazing work!
Dec 8 00:35:12 3m 08s Limbs are Limited! ♥ 1 YES! I saw your blog post during the jam and really wanted to play this game but didn't find it until now. This is such a great original concept, I love it. One of the few games I've given 5 stars so far. Great original idea and great execution. Nice job!!
Dec 8 21:49:00 21h 13m Blót ♥ 0 Graphics are great but i kept getting stuck so couldn't really play.
Dec 8 21:54:16 5m 16s Death Wish ♥ 1 Awesome graphics and animations. I found the hitboxes a bit difficult to figure out but honestly that is an issue I have in literally all beat-em-up games:)
