| Dec 3 17:10:36 | Total Party Kill | ♥ 0 | This is a very polished entry, I enjoyed every aspect of it! The puzzles were satisfying and each hero played their part (with the knight mostly playing the role of punching bag). The music was good and worked well with the overall style of the visuals and gameplay. I appreciated the existence of a level select. The cutscenes were polished and I enjoyed the ending. The biggest gripe would be that the controls are a bit much to get used too, but there isn't too much that can be done about that with this kind of game. Overall I think you did a great job with this entry! | |
| Dec 3 19:17:14 | 2h 06m | Little Red | ♥ 1 | This was an interesting entry! I liked the little story it had! The puzzles were simple enough but they worked well! My biggest gripe is that having to redo the dialogue every time I lost a level was a little annoying since there was dialogue on a lot of the levels. The audio worked well be the setting and the little changes to riding hood's character s the game progresses was nice. Overall I think this was a nice little puzzle game, more levels could be nice, but it also works well as a shorter more story driven experience! |
| Dec 3 20:03:08 | 45m 54s | God of Indecisiveness | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed this entry! The expression changes on the characters when sacrificed was a nice touch. The difficulty spike on the last level was unexpected but fun! I think this game could be taken to the next level by leaning into the rhythm side of it more, get the backing music to go with it and it would work very well as, how someone a put it, "a very morbid rhythm game". The sounds were satisfying, the cutting free sound could stand to be a little less abrasive, but it still worked well! I appreciate the effort put into the scoring and medal display system! Overall I think this is a good entry! I hope you continue to work on it more! |
| Dec 4 18:45:30 | 22h 42m | Fire and Atlas | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed this entry! The levels of polish on the map screen and burning of maps was very nice. The rest of the animations were satisfying and the sound worked well to tie it all together! I made it with one shovel left, lost a few to thinking the maps wouldn't dare to lie about the existence of the entrance I just came from and lost the rest to plunging my shovel into the ground trying to open the map! If you decided to work on this game more in the future I think it could work very well with some light puzzle mechanics and metroidvania style progression! Overall this was a really nice entry, good job! |
| Dec 4 19:29:34 | 44m 04s | dropboy | ♥ 0 | This is a very nice entry! The graphic are super smooth and the animations are satisfying! The puzzles took a while to ramp up in difficulty but the second to last level was pretty hard! The game controls really good and the ability to reverse moves was a nice addition although it did not quite work on laser levels. This game fit the theme very nicely and the overall concept was good! It could use a better ending and menus, but for a Ludum Dare game it worked well enough. The lack of sounds is a shame, hopefully you will continue working on it and add some! Overall this is a very nice entry! |
| Dec 4 20:46:26 | 1h 16m | Alain's Sacrifice | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed the quotes you placed between levels, I think they really helped to set the mood! The music did get a little repetitive but I appreciate that you had a second track for the final level! The levels could use a little more variation but overall I enjoyed your interpretation of the theme. Good job! |
| Dec 4 21:05:06 | 18m 40s | Views | ♥ 3 | I appreciated bouncing the water sprite to help simulate the exploding of the bomb! I think it could be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for the bomb, but I can understand if you wanted to keep it mouse only to make going for the bomb a little riskier as you have to plan to get it in advance before buildings get too high. I think it could be nice to change the swiping to only destroy buildings if you do a horizontal swipe across the whole building, right now you can go vertically down the building which seems to be easier since the hitbox is larger that way, but it doesn't work as well thematically. The score system and menus are nice! Overall this was a good entry! |
| Dec 4 22:19:03 | 1h 13m | Dungeons of Forfeit | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed your entry! You were right in the feedback you left me, especially at the title menu our games are basically the same haha. This game was nicely polished, the notifications worked well, blocky animations were nice, and sounds were good. The biggest things I would suggest if you decide to work on it more are different enemy types and more impact from the sacrifices. Having the minimap really helps tho! Overall I think this was a very nice entry, good job! |
| Dec 5 19:34:45 | 21h 15m | Pirates may Cry | ♥ 0 | This was a very interesting entry! I enjoyed the atmosphere and the overall concept of it was fun! I enjoyed the music and animations, my biggest gripe is just that I never really felt at risk of losing. I was able to keep going without much risk until the game eventually crashed. I think this could be mitigated by adding in a few more events and options that we need to prepare for, like the battle event. I think this type of game would work well with a few more elements like Oregon Trail such as a few mini games, although I could understand if you didn't want to go that direction. Overall I really enjoyed the entry, hopefully you will continue working on it! |
| Dec 5 20:10:35 | 35m 50s | Nature is Harsh | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed this entry! The overall use of the theme, the narration, and the gameplay was all very nice! Some of the bugs such as the monkeys going through walls occasionally when thrown were a little frustrating as well as not being able to throw regular monkeys when you have arrows. If there was a way to switch to normal monkeys when you have arrows that would be nice! I enjoyed the sound effects and the little animations on the monkeys. Overall I think you did very well on this entry. Good job! |
| Dec 5 21:19:23 | 1h 08m | Claude Van Clamme Presents: Lambs to the Slaughter Temple of Gods Edition | ♥ 3 | This was an interesting entry! I enjoyed the art and overall concept however it had several quirks that made it a bit tedious to play. Cards had a habit of going under the table when I tried to move them meaning I would have to drop them to get them back up, but they would land and make a mess. The board quickly became a bit too messy to really keep track of everything. There was also a bit too much text to read to get started. Overall I do think that this was an interesting game and a good entry, hopefully you can work on it more afterwards to make it a bit more wieldy! |
| Dec 5 21:32:22 | 12m 59s | What We Hold In Our Hearts | ♥ 1 | I appreciated the overall atmosphere and art style! My first playthrough my guy immediately dropped all 3 items and I just kept running right, nothing really happened so I didn't really understand what was supposed to be happening. The second time he dropped a single item and I went back for it real quick and then I discovered the horde! So I played again understanding the game and was able to save all 3 items! I think this is an interesting base for a game but it needs a little more to it than just mashing buttons. Possibly having more hiding spots that you have to quickly jump in for a moment as enemies come from different directions. Overall this was a nice entry! |
| Dec 5 21:49:10 | 16m 48s | Protect the caravan | ♥ 0 | This was an interesting entry! I managed to beat it on my second try with only zoe left! The strategy that goes into choosing fighters is nice and it's interesting how you learn more about how different fighters change based on previous actions! The design of the characters was nice as well! I would appreciate a way to skip the beginning dialogue and also some sounds but overall this was a nice entry! |
| Dec 5 21:54:56 | 5m 46s | Night of the Clawrm | ♥ 0 | When I try to attack a townsperson they push me and the game freezes on html5, so I havent been able to try it yet! But the style looks interesting! |
| Dec 5 22:02:14 | 7m 18s | Save da people! | ♥ 0 | This was an interesting entry, I think the interpretation of the theme was nice, but if you had indeed been able to implement those ideas you mentioned in your description it would have worked a lot better! The biggest gripe is that sometimes when I go up a stair it keeps moving me upward back down the stairs on the next scene. If you were able to fix this and add some sounds it would really elevate the game, but it was a nice entry overall! |
| Dec 5 22:33:13 | 30m 59s | Split Soul | ♥ 0 | I appreciated the overall style of the game and the puzzles were interesting! However the controls were a bit slidey, although I was mostly used to it by the end. Having to sit through the cutscene every time you die in the last level is a little frustrating especially since the level starts so slow. If these issues were fixed I think this could be a really nice game to continue working on! Overall it was a nice entry, good job! |
| Dec 6 03:02:50 | 4h 29m | Santa's List | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the audio in this game, definitely one of the best designed entries from an audio standpoint that I've played so far! The art worked well along with the audio to create a nice atmosphere as well. The gameplay a little lacking, but I think it has an interesting core that could be expanded into something really nice. Definitely felt a little bad for the poor guys, but it worked well with the theme! This was overall a nice entry! |
| Dec 6 03:10:14 | 7m 24s | Monster Creator | ♥ 1 | It is a shame to hear that you were not able to get the monster creation code to work, however it is still nice to have a product to show for Ludum Dare even if it did not work out as planned! I enjoyed the music! Good job and good luck! |
| Dec 6 03:22:02 | 11m 48s | Flock of Salvation | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the style of this game! The camera and atmosphere worked very nicely! I enjoyed the art and the backing music. The controls were a little lacking and didn't feel very comfortable, it was also a little annoying dropping objects when hit by crows since it gets to a point where you are getting swarmed every second so you can't really do anything. Beyond that I think it would be nice to have a counter or some kind of score to see on game over. Overall I really enjoyed the feel of the game, good job! |
| Dec 6 03:36:13 | 14m 11s | Blight Tower | ♥ 1 | This was an interesting entry, the overall concept was nice and I could see it being turned into something really fun once the kinks, such as capsules not changing colors, are worked out. I did run into an issue, I don't know for sure that it's an issue with html5 but the movement was very sluggish compared to the video you have posted. Either way nice entry, I hope you work on it further! |
| Dec 6 03:47:27 | 11m 14s | Destroy All Cubes! | ♥ 0 | The aiming system took a little to get used to but overall I think think it controlled nicely enough and the effects upon shooting the rubbish were nice! I enjoyed the trophy system but the game could definitely use some kind of progression beyond just getting faster. Overall this was a nice entry tho! |
| Dec 6 03:55:00 | 7m 33s | Crimson Chaos | ♥ 1 | The game controlled nicely and I really like the trailing effect you had for the weapon! Overall it had a nice atmosphere and an interesting take on the theme. IF you continue to work on it I think it could become a very interesting game! Good entry! |
| Dec 6 04:18:29 | 23m 29s | The Price of Crops | ♥ 0 | I really enjoyed this entry! I like the harvest theme, watching the plants grow and be harvested is satisfying! I think the art overall worked really well. I like how alive it feels when you have all of them running around to do their tasks! Good job! |
| Dec 6 04:31:53 | 13m 24s | Pigheaded Pirate | ♥ 1 | I appreciate the inspiration from old school beat em ups and I think it worked well with the theme overall. I'm not a huge fan of the delay on the health bars when taking damage and occasionally the pig would fly off to the other side of the map leaving me to try and force my way back over to him which was a little frustrating but overall it was a nice entry, good job! |
| Dec 6 04:51:29 | 19m 36s | Within | ♥ 3 | This was a very interesting game! The way the pledges changed was nice and the little bits of story being picked up was interesting! The way the character spun around was humorous. The controls were a little frustrating with how the character would continue sliding for a bit, but I could understand why that would be desired with making the lost controls more dangerous! I played through for both endings after accidentally choicing one of them immediately without even going to see what the other option was. Overall this was a nice entry! |
| Dec 6 05:50:18 | 58m 49s | FTD : Fixin' to Die | ♥ 3 | This is a very nice entry. The polish is great, sounds, arts and animation all wonderful. It's a creative use of the theme as well! Definitely one of the top games for overall feel and execution. The addition of small elements such as the blood bags really helped to elevate it into that overcooked category. It would take a little more to make it a game I would want to play as a full game by myself but I think it could work well as a somewhat morbid multiplayer party game, hopefully you decide to keep working on it because I think you can turn this into something great! |
| Dec 6 17:22:31 | 11h 32m | Revolver Curse | ♥ 1 | This was a solid entry! The music was funky and the animations were really nice! I liked the overall concept and picking your bullets back up after satisfying was satisfying, catching them on the rebound. The only thing I think it is lacking is more of an ending, but overall this was a really good entry! |
| Dec 6 17:29:43 | 7m 12s | Stew Souls | ♥ 0 | I enjoyed this entry! I like the overall setting and I think going around growing veggies and making stew is a really fun base, however the camera movement was very disorienting and I had to stop playing after a bit. The slow spinning was a little nausea inducing and made it hard to make my character face where I was trying to go. I really enjoyed the graphics though and the sound fit as well. Overall this was a really nice entry! |
| Dec 6 17:41:16 | 11m 33s | Ludum Dare: The Game | ♥ 1 | This was a nice entry! The UI was fairly polished and I appreciated the number of options that we had in the to-do area. The graphics and music worked nicely in it! This is an interesting game just because I don't really know for sure how all of my choices end up affecting things. It would be interesting to know if there are specific choices you can make that will lead to perfect games. Overall this was a solid entry! |
| Dec 6 17:57:59 | 16m 43s | A Walk In The Neighborhood | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed this entry! It was a nice little wholesome tale, only thing I could give critique on i the length, but I really can't complain, you set out to create a small narrative experience and it is what you did! The audio and graphics worked very nicely together! This was overall a very nice entry, a bit simple, but well polished and wholesome! |
| Dec 6 18:06:03 | 8m 04s | Noah's Balloon | ♥ 2 | I really enjoyed this! The audio was great! The voicework was really good and fit really well with the style of the game! I immediately started the first level by throwing several people to their doom without even realizing it! It worked really well with the theme once I realized what they were supposed to be for! The gameplay itself was challenging and fun, though a bit tedious later on. The banjos were a really good choice for the style of game! Overall this was a very nice entry, one of my highest rated for humor and audio! |
| Dec 6 18:17:22 | 11m 19s | H E R D | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed this entry! The graphics were very nice and the audio was appropriate for the strange chaotic frantic gameplay trying to stay ahead of the wolf! I think the sacrifice mechanic worked well and it was nerve wracking being able to look back and see the wolf slowly making his way towards you! Unfortunately I ran into an an issue where I kept being moved outside the fence and couldn't get back in. Overall I really enjoyed the game though! |
| Dec 6 18:30:45 | 13m 23s | ASTERION | ♥ 1 | This was an interesting entry, the graphics were nice although I would appreciate a little more to change on the map as you progress. The movement was satisfying though, although I agree the sacrifices speed could be lowered just a little so there is less running in circles. I also had my score continue to increase after I died which was interesting! Overall this was a nice entry! |
