| Dec 17 13:56:31 | Total Party Kill | ♥ 0 | Beat the game, fantastic overall! I didn't know how to solve the second last stage, but the bug highlighted in the previous comments help me beat it. Some of the levels I wasn't sure if I beat them "properly", since I had to be quite pixel perfect in some of my solutions. | |
| Dec 17 14:04:21 | 7m 50s | FTD : Fixin' to Die | ♥ 2 | Great job! It fits the theme very well, and I loved the 2D pixel art. I also liked the fact that you can put the surgical tool next to the bed, its a minor detail but makes the game much more pleasant to play, and I wish I hadn't missed that the first time I played. One thing I wasn't a fan of was the random nature of my actions, you can make optimal decisions and still fail at >90% success. |
| Dec 17 14:09:12 | 4m 51s | Views | ♥ 4 | Nice game! I wish there was a mobile build since it seems more fitting as a mobile game with the swipe mechanics. I felt the tutorial could have been more intuitive, or some explanation given, since I spent some time trying to figure how to actually play the game (you have to swipe with the mouse down and "cut" the colored lines for anyone reading the comments). Also, I think it might be better if holding the mouse down wasn't a requirement i.e. just swiping your mouse should be enough. Overall good entry though! |
| Dec 17 14:19:50 | 10m 38s | Ludum Dare: The Game | ♥ 1 | Not sure if anyone noticed, but the popup on Give Up was pretty funny =) Great take on the theme, I actually loved the artstyle, reminds me of games I used to play on my floppy. Maybe it's me, but I felt the game was a little hard and random, wasn't sure how to optimise my score. Best I got was 1457 in Jam with 2G 2D 3P (IIRC). Regardless, I had fun, great entry! |
| Dec 17 14:23:40 | 3m 50s | Get down Mr President! | ♥ 1 | Hands down funniest game I played during this LD so far, the controls and collisions dont feel that tight, but personally I think that's one of the charms of this entry. I got to the stage with the very large open area where the prez zigzags up and down, I think that one's way too unfair, and I really would've loved to have beaten that stage to see what comes next. |
| Dec 17 14:30:05 | 6m 25s | Rogues Like Beer | ♥ 1 | I beat the game, hand down most polished entry I played during this LD so far, it feels like a professional entry. Every aspect of this game is great, art, music, gameplay, humour. If I have to nitpick and give any criticism, I guess the camera could use some slight tweaking, it was sometimes hard to get a proper angle for a good view to solve some of the stages. Perhaps a freelook or overview mode could be added where the camera isn't locked to the player. |
| Dec 17 14:53:05 | 23m 00s | Dark Villagers | ♥ 3 | Great entry! I liked the pixel art, and the music really fits the mood. I really enjoyed the gameplay as well, and played a couple of times, but I think it's too hard for me, wasn't able to get past wave 20. As mentioned in the previous comments, some interface improvement could help e.g. cost and type of building, current building hp, etc. Also, I wasn't sure what each monster did, did they have any specialties e.g. maybe some monsters are stronger against some types of enemies. I can only assume that the more expensive monsters are stronger, but I wasn't sure by how much. I tried getting expensive monsters only, cheap monsters only, mix of both, but still always get destroyed at wave 15+ =( |
| Dec 17 15:13:38 | 20m 33s | Sacrificio Inc. | ♥ 1 | Great game! Wasn't too challenging, and I beat all 13 levels! I enjoyed the experience, especially the little shivery animation + sound effect before the guy gets sacrified. Not gonna repeat the praise from previous comments, it's great all around, so some very minor nitpicks: - Each stage was 3 stars, but I wasn't really sure what the star rating was for, since I got 3 stars for all. Is it for the timing? - I assume timing is for star rating, since it doesn't seem to be tied to any mechanic e.g. countdown timer. But I can easily reset and the timer goes back to 0. Maybe keep the timer running? - I would've liked the option to be able to speed up the sacrifice animation (I'm too impatient to wait 5-10 seconds to see the guy slide down the conveyor :) - Might be better to package it as an ELF executable instead of a .deb for Linux, since that's mainly for Debian based distros (even though I was also able to unpack it on Arch) - This game should be played on mobile, I understand that. I played on PC though, and the mouse controls got abit tiring with the click dragging. Again, want to highlight these are my personal minor nitpicks, it's still an awesome entry. Good job! |
| Dec 17 15:23:16 | 9m 38s | Vikrifice | ♥ 2 | Great entry! This game is ambitious, the map is huge! I love the pixel art as well. One thing I noticed, maybe it's just me, I thought the screen was flickering with lines at times, not sure if it's the pixel art? |
| Dec 17 15:32:09 | 8m 53s | Super Sellout | ♥ 2 | The graphics are really well done! The controls could use abit of tightening though. Also, having more sacrifices seems to make the game easier for me, especially those that reduce speed. |
| Dec 17 15:51:29 | 19m 20s | Sacrifices Must Be Made | ♥ 1 | I really like the W-S interaction, it's the first I've seen in a card game. Other than that, the atmosphere is phenomenal, the dialogue, sound effects, graphics, make it even scarier than some professionally made "horror" games. Gameplay is basic, but I like how sacrificing is incorporated into both the card aesthetic and mechanic. The knife part was *brilliant*, half of the screen turning dark and ball falling into the scale really hits home the "show don't tell" aspect of storytelling. |
| Dec 17 16:05:13 | 13m 44s | Jesus Take the Wheel | ♥ 1 | This game is funny and fun, but hard! It's hard to switch and control multiple vehicles at the same time, but that's part of the fun! |
| Dec 17 16:14:16 | 9m 03s | Consilium - A history of life and choices | ♥ 1 | I got 5378x6=32268. I really love the aesthetic and mood, the line art is amazing and really sets the tone! I really wished there was more to the gameplay, feels quite simplistic at the moment, although it could work well as a relaxation game on mobile. |
| Dec 17 16:26:38 | 12m 22s | JLIM | ♥ 1 | Amazing game! Short and simple with really tight controls, I even beat the game a few times to try and speedrun it. Having an onscreen timer might be useful for speedrunners. |
| Dec 17 16:29:20 | 2m 42s | Omelettes | ♥ 1 | Graphics are nice and puzzles are tight but pretty hard, and I wasn't able to beat it unfortunately. Would love to see a walkthrough for the game! The main issue I have is it's hard to see the height, which makes the puzzles much harder to solve since I can't tell if a move is legal sometimes. |
