| Apr 30 12:54:42 | Undercave | ♥ 1 | Neat. I like it. If you had some more time to make the terrain have some kind of texture, it'd be even more immersive. But in any case, I found it kind of hard to balance between the sleep and food. Also, it felt like the enemies are taking your food too quickly... But very nice for a compo game. | |
| Apr 30 13:05:31 | 10m 49s | The Last Duel | ♥ 0 | I like card games like these. Great job. I wish that graphically it had more stuff, such as ships actually firing, but I know how compo is constrained, especially when you have to make an AI. It did not take much away from the game. One thing I really want to commend is that the game really feels balanced. Well done! |
| Apr 30 13:16:24 | 10m 53s | Board Life | ♥ 1 | This is good. :) However, I have two points I want to give. 1. Outcomes are somewhat unrealistic. For example, most people that win a lottery have it worse than before. They don't live 9 years longer because of that. Maybe homeless or desperately sick people, but they usually don't play lottery anyway. 2. The dice throwing felt unnatural. I could very very very easily manipulate the outcome of the dice as they just fall down and if their rotation is nice, they will just stay like this. There's no rolling of dice. All in all, very nice job and nice ideas. I really liked the graphics style. Keep up the good work. |
| Apr 30 18:26:04 | 5h 09m | Adventures of Crimson Warlock | ♥ 1 | I was always a fan of RNGs. The graphical feel is mixed (handdrawn terrain and fancy inventory icons)... But it's ok none the less. I just found the game to be a bit hard... :/ And tooltips could be a bit better design so that all needed information is visible more easily. Nice job. Keep up the good work. |
| Apr 30 18:31:22 | 5m 18s | Bloodia | ♥ 1 | For a compo game, very well done. Seems rather polished. The only thing I've found too limiting is limitless spawning... And I don't understand how enemies take my gold when they shoot me. But I can work with that. All in all, very nice entry. |
| Apr 30 18:44:38 | 13m 16s | Keep Dem' Sick ! | ♥ 1 | Is nice. The only issue I've had is that the rightmost patient is not visible at all times and there are no audible cues as to when somebody is almost dying or getting too well. If I got it correctly, the amount of money you get for the work depends on the number of patients still half-well :) If that is true, this is very nice touch. I've had real fun playing this. Well done guys :) |
| May 1 14:30:41 | 19h 46m | Life Time | ♥ 1 | I was a bit confused at first. But it'd be helpful to have tooltips for each area so that you can know how each of them influence your life. Nice entry for a compo. :) |
| May 1 14:39:15 | 8m 34s | Tunnel Bug | ♥ 1 | Very nice thing here. I have only two comments: Most of the times after the "shop" I appear next to the wall and can't avoid hitting it. Shops sometimes have multiple of the same items (making them useless). These are more of an improvements than criticism :) I really enjoyed this game. The music got a bit irritating after a while because of too hard/sharp beats, but if it was a bit softer, it'd be perfect. Well done. |
| May 1 14:45:31 | 6m 16s | Board of Life | ♥ 0 | At first it was not obvious to me that I have to reach the right side. I understood "you have to cross it" as in cross the tiles so I was trying to find out how to activate/cross a tile. 🤦 Once I got it, I reached some levels. The sound is somewhat too high-pitched for my taste. But all in all, nice entry for a compo. |
| May 1 15:02:03 | 16m 32s | Bloodalchemist | ♥ 1 | Wow! Very well done. I never needed to make two of the potion types 🤷 but still, I managed to complete. Although, 4 customers were unhappy until I actually managed to do it. With a bit more depth, this could easily be the speed running heaven :) Great game for compo, keep up the good work. |
| May 1 15:16:09 | 14m 06s | HackZ Memories | ♥ 1 | This is so contagious. Can't stop playing. I'd leave a bigger comment, but I have to play Hackz Memories. |
| May 1 16:41:39 | 1h 25m | Take them with you | ♥ 2 | At first I was confused how to win... like, there's 3 of us and 5 of them... I've played a bit, confused with controls a bit. I'm more used to W/Up being forward, not absolutely up. But that's ok, just needed to adjust. So after several minutes, I rated the game. Then I played once more to get all 5 of them. I've done it with 2 of my robots. And when it showed me the message I thought it's done. But then the yellow robot appeared. I thought: this must be a bug, the game is finished. Then I decided to kill it. It was when the message changed that I went and increase your overall rating by 0.5 stars. Well done. |
| May 1 16:55:07 | 13m 28s | MoneyBag | ♥ 1 | Very good game for a compo game :) I liked how the money gives you too much weight. It's like that in life. But I am not sure if it was a bug, but I couldn't buy a thing for 100c on level with red bullets... Don't know what that was supposed to be. But all in all, this could be turned into a commercial game. Don't give up on the idea. |
| May 1 17:03:12 | 8m 05s | Million dollar robot: Fear the forklift | ♥ 1 | Nice game... The controls are a bit wonky, but otherwise well done. Nice graphics as well :) |
| May 2 07:06:33 | 14h 03m | green 🌱 thumb | ♥ 0 | Awesome job. It took me several attempts to realize that this game is too expensive for me 😄 Very well done. |
| May 2 07:14:26 | 7m 53s | S.A.S.S. | ♥ 0 | As others have pointed out, the controls are wonky and the option to invert mouse Y axis would help 😄 Otherwise, very nice twist on the asteroids game. 😃 Some upgrades felt a bit useless tho, so this needs some tweaking, but all in all, it's a nice entry. |
| May 2 07:34:52 | 20m 26s | HeistLyfe | ♥ 0 | Hm. Interesting concept. I really liked the bubble effect on camera. The only thing that could be better done is to use separate collision box, mounted at characters legs. So that the collision between my head and other characters' feet is not considered a collision. In the current way is too hard to avoid characters... Otherwise, nice job! I gotta go yoink some monies! :) |
| May 2 07:39:38 | 4m 46s | Anthill | ♥ 0 | Ok, this has nothing to do with the theme, but it was an AMAZING experience. But it's not for impatient people 😄 hehe This comment is short because I need to go play Anthill some more. :) Very well done. |
| May 2 07:43:50 | 4m 12s | Methods for Instructing Thine Dragon | ♥ 0 | It's a fun little game. But RNG is against me... The flap takes me too little up and the distance between some mushrooms were such so that I would need at least 6 flaps to reach another one. But conceptually, nice idea. Graphics are really nice :) |
| May 2 07:50:49 | 6m 59s | BOB | ♥ 2 | One of the best Jam games I've played so far. Very well done. I haven't reached all the endings and it would be great if there was a chart to explore all of them :) You know somewhere on deep web, made by loyal Bob fans. 😄 Keep up the good work. |
| May 2 08:07:07 | 16m 18s | Mosquito Hunter | ♥ 1 | I've had issues with my keyboard rollover (some arrows are not registered when holding two buttons such as A and W), so I was struggling a bit with controls. It would be great if mouse could be used for aiming. But other than that (which is not exactly your problem), it's really a nice game. Nice graphics and visual style. Well done. Keep up the good work. |
| May 2 08:14:04 | 6m 57s | This Game Sucks | ♥ 1 | Spooky man! :) An interesting concept. But I disliked the movement because I couldn't jump or just step over small obstacles... also, I'm moving too slow for the worms. But even with those things, the game is fun. The way you have to shake off a worm off of you is a nice touch 😄 But spooky... 😄 |
| May 2 08:24:34 | 10m 30s | Force of Nature | ♥ 3 | One of the best jam entries. Graphics are great, music is great. The only thing I've had issues with is onboarding. I couldn't get what I need to do for quite a while. Once I did, I found a very nice game. Although a bit hard for me. What I couldn't understand is when do the saplings appear? can I place them or I can just build them when they randomly appear. Because if that's just RNG, I've had a bad luck. All my farms appeared in one bunch and all protecting towers on completely other useless spot :/ But I really liked this one 😄 Keep up the good work. |
| May 2 19:17:12 | 10h 52m | The Ultimate Frontier | ♥ 1 | Not bad, not bad 😄 I dislike the whole devil idea, but conceptually it's nice. And it being a compo game, solid work I must say 😄 Additionally, I reaaaaaly like the bullet trails 😄 Keep up the good work. |
| May 2 20:45:35 | 1h 28m | Crystal Castle | ♥ 1 | Aaaaaaaaaaaaah man... It's tooooo short. Conceptually nothing new, but it's very fun nonetheless. Graphics are awesome. :) Very well done. Especially coins' direction being a bit randomized. Just has a really great feeling. |
| May 3 07:39:00 | 10h 53m | Super Annoying Escort Mission | ♥ 0 | Very nice entry. Especially for the compo. I've noticed one bug though, when the suit guy passed thru a first corridor in the second level, it attracted aliens from the room to the right even though there is no line of sight. And one of my stupid soldiers started shooting towards them, but into the wall :) I mean, it was fun, but probably shouldn't happen :) A nice soundtrack would fit nicely but I know how it is trying to squeeze the game into 48 hours :) So keep up the good work. |
| May 3 07:45:01 | 6m 01s | Sweet Squish | ♥ 1 | Wait, they didn't change his room in 5 years? 😛 Nice game. The take on the theme is what I like. You might wanna check ours, it'll be kind of familiar :) The sound is a bit too high pitched tho, but otherwise ok. Keep up the good work. |
| May 3 12:16:15 | 4h 31m | BETRAYDED | ♥ 3 | Very nice game. I've played it with ma wife. We see very little multiplayer games on LD 😄 Two points: 1. Once you escape, the crosshair shot is too easy, the other guy has nothing to do. 2. It was not clear to me who will get stunned when the players collide. But all in all, a nice entry. Keep up the good work. |
| May 3 12:35:08 | 18m 53s | Shop till you drop DEAD | ♥ 1 | Oh man, this was the... I mean... how to say it... AWESOME! Just the perfect balance of everything. It takes you about minute and half to forget that your character is just a rectangle with eyes :) It is addictive. |
| May 3 14:46:04 | 2h 10m | Ransom | ♥ 0 | My wife ☝️ told me about this game. Really nice thing to do with family. It would be great if there was a hint that the end graphics is different depending on the damage you have taken, but it's great nonetheless. Unlike many other games this LD, this one has a soul. 😄 A brother sacrificing himself for his brother. Nicely done 😄 |
| May 3 15:34:24 | 48m 20s | GTApp - Great Tube App | ♥ 3 | But it was when I drover over somebody and the dubstep started that I knew I wanna rate this game high. 😄 In all aspects, extremely polished. Very well done. |
| May 4 19:49:11 | 28h 14m | ORBid | ♥ 1 | So far the best game this LD. Compo?! Gratz! No comments are necessary, except this one: ldnicegame.jpg |
| May 4 20:12:32 | 23m 21s | Bribery | ♥ 1 | For some reasons I couldn't see the textured backdrop as shown in the video. My instance of the game was really flat. Nevertheless, once you detach yourself from graphical elements, it becomes a bit more fun. I've noticed some bugs tho, like cattangles getting stuck in walls and similar. But that's ok. I can live with that. The shop thingie was really confusing. It didn't say this was a shop and it refered to life as hearts even tho everything on my screen was a rectangle 😄 But the music was good 😉 |
| May 4 21:24:11 | 1h 11m | Arrow of Light | ♥ 2 | I liked this game a lot. Being an achiever, I had to go all over the place and search for all the hearts. The tower was a bit hard at first, but I finally got it. The whole experience was really nice. Enemies being able to shoot thru the walls while you are not is a nice touch. Makes you think about positioning. I also really liked the fact that you go into a slow-mo mode while aiming and jumping. Very well done. |
| May 5 11:05:47 | 13h 41m | Life Vac | ♥ 0 | Very well done. But I was not able to keep my money above zero. So, some balancing would be nice. Otherwise, as a fan of Game of Life, I really apprecate the effort 😄 Very nice take on the theme. |
| May 5 12:57:35 | 1h 51m | GÖLDF | ♥ 1 | I like golf games like these. Very well done. Some levels are somewhat hard, but it's not boring to try again, so all is well. Nice game. Keep up the good work. |
| May 5 21:40:45 | 8h 43m | The Akolythe and the Amulet of Andhor | ♥ 1 | The spikes reminded me of Prince of Persia 😄 I had to play it twice to get to the end. At first I didn't get where I need to go so I just spent all my life on fireballs. Anyways, I found out that sometimes the fireball does not kill an enemy even though it touches it. Some kind of bug. But all in all, sweet little game with suspense music. The walking sound is funny, sounds like the wizard's going around in flip-flops. :) Well done. Keep up the good work. |
| May 5 21:56:37 | 15m 52s | Battery Life | ♥ 1 | Wow! one of the best ideas this LD. Very well done. I've noticed some bugs, but nothing critical. Also, did you know that baterries kill eachother if you align their line of fire? 😄 Made the game a lot easiser. Nice execution, nice onboarding. My, everything's nice. |
| May 5 22:00:48 | 4m 11s | Lifeblood Arena | ♥ 1 | Very nice game. What I really liked in comparison with other games with similar theme idea is that you could actually reduce your upgrades to recover health again. Nice mechanic. Music is fitting as well. Keep up the good work. |
| May 5 22:07:14 | 6m 26s | Roboxery | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept. 😄 I found it too hard tho. I've tried several times. 6x6 I can take all the time, but for larger ones, I feel like I need to rearrange some scaffoldings to be able to move around which takes all my energy. But I might be holding it wrong 😉 Very well done. Keep up the good work. As @simon-rahnasto said: Fanatic job! 😅 |
| May 5 22:12:21 | 5m 07s | Robooto | ♥ 1 | Had a good laugh :) Dab. Dab dab dab.! The stickman is awesome. Dab! You got me with that level where the goal was just above me instead of to the right. Spent all my energy reaching it and died on my way back :/ I should've known better 😛 Keep up the good work! |
| May 5 22:22:44 | 10m 23s | Slime, music and portals | ♥ 2 | Too bad it's unfinished. Could've been real nice entry. The double jump is somewhat buggy. I couldn't consistently jump twice in a row with the same delay between jumps. Every time seems different. Also, the sword does not seem to be necessary. So all in all, the game has potential, but it obviously needs to get finished 😄 But yeah, time constraints on LD, what can you do 🤷 |
| May 6 07:36:57 | 9h 14m | The Legend of the Peixaralho | ♥ 1 | Yeah. The game is nice and looks awesome, but the mechanics were somewhat wonky. A single bullet would sometimes throw me across the whole screen, off the cliff. Idea is great and I can see the effort put into the game, but I guess it's the time constraints of LD that made it a bit unbalanced. But that's just a small issue. Otherwise, the game is real nice. |
| May 6 07:45:01 | 8m 04s | Slaves of the Carribean | ♥ 1 | Hm... I really love the concept. But, it's too hard. It's not at all easy to avoid damage during fights. Like, I've managed to survive first 7 days thinking, it's ok, to repair the damage to the ship, I'll just cash out some. It was 285 gold!?! And I got around 60 during those 7 days. 😱 But, with some balancing, this game would actually be one of the best games this LD, from my perspective. |
| May 6 07:54:35 | 9m 34s | 9 Lives | ♥ 0 | I've read some of the comments. Yeah, I see why you tried to go with realism, but during my game design research over the years I've found out that it's the approximation of realism or the lack thereof is what makes the games fun. Games are not necessarily simulations so it's fine if some physical laws are broken. The reason why games usually allow moving in the air is the precision of landing which is IRL possible because you can precisely position your legs, while in games you are actually controlling the character as a point and rely on it's bounding box to be in the right position. Finding the right balance between totally unrealistic and completely realistic is the whole point of game design 😄 Now about your game. The graphics are nice :) However, the fact that you can pass some levels only with a single upgrade, does not really make it a choice. It'd be great if there were more options. But it's ok. All in all, sweet entry. The human meow sounds are awesome 😄 Keep up the good work. |
| May 6 08:03:11 | 8m 36s | BloedBad | ♥ 1 | Nice game. I dislike the underlying theme of hell, demons, blood and such, but mechanically the game is good. The only issue I've found is that jumping is sometimes derping, which caused me to fall down in the instakill fluid (whatever that was) 😄 so I had to repeat this quite a lot. But all in all, it's fun to play. Nice work. |
| May 6 08:10:55 | 7m 44s | Tomb of Temptations | ♥ 1 | Hey, nice one. What I really liked is that you have a bit inverted take on the life economy. Instead of starting with life and losing it to gain benefits, you increase your life to add challenges. Very nice idea 😄 Keep up the good work. |
| May 6 08:22:02 | 11m 07s | The Tail of the Serpent | ♥ 1 | I will not write much, I will just say that you deserve to win 😊 Awesome game! |
| May 6 08:59:04 | 37m 02s | Menorah's Quest | ♥ 1 | All those flashes can cause a epileptic seizure 😄 haha Very nice concept and well executed. 👍 |
| May 6 09:06:52 | 7m 48s | Goals | ♥ 1 | Very very nice. Although... I couldn't go pass the 'good enough' level. Obviously I am not good enough. 😄 |
| May 6 09:25:42 | 18m 50s | Darkling | ♥ 1 | Besides balance, I think the game is awesome 😄 Red ones are too few in my opinion. But the game does glue you to your keyboard, that's for sure 😄 |
| May 6 09:34:52 | 9m 10s | SHROUD (Synthetic Human, Radiation OUtput Determined) | ♥ 1 | Very dark game :) I sold my arm and my leg. 😱 For a few bucks 😱 I found a gun, but I was unable to shoot, is that a bug? Otherwise, the game is fun. It'd be a bit more fun if the character would move a bit faster, otherwise all is well 😄 Keep up the good work. |
| May 6 09:57:49 | 22m 57s | BodyHop | ♥ 2 | Nice game. But I the camera does not have a delay so it's hard to click the enemy to switch while moving. But I reached some 6k score. I have no idea if that's good or bad 😄 Keep up the good work. |
| May 6 10:03:26 | 5m 37s | Shapeless | ♥ 0 | I don't know what I just played but it was enjoyable. The ambient is nice, the music is cool and the visual effects are stunning. There's not too much of a gameplay, but still, very nice execution. 😄 Well done. |
| May 6 10:09:51 | 6m 25s | Clock of Your Life | ♥ 1 | I found out that I'm a workaholic. And also, I must tell you, as a vegetarian, healthy food is not that much more expensive than junk food 😄 One of the most enjoyable games this LD. Nice job. |
| May 6 10:16:33 | 6m 42s | Rising Dawn - First Blood: It's Brunchtime | ♥ 1 | It's hard. Damn hard. Pun intended. 😄 Although I don't usually like games about vampires, demons and similar, mechanics of the game are well done. Keep up the good work. |
| May 6 10:22:42 | 6m 09s | D E A T H S G R A S P | ♥ 4 | This game is a bit too dark for me, but I liked the twist in the plot. Graphics and audio is awesome. Like others already mentioned, the paralax effect is a very nice touch. Keep up the good work. |
| May 6 13:17:46 | 2h 55m | ｉｎｖｅｒｔｅｂｒａｅ | ♥ 1 | Ok. Reality check. This is one of the best games. But also, extremely hard to finish without the guide. Some kind of keyboard typing (such as first letter of the word, or first few in case of ambiguity) would help tremendously. This way, it's kind of slow. But honestly, very well done. |
| May 6 13:22:04 | 4m 18s | Abscond | ♥ 0 | Man, this has potential. But it's too short. I like how it makes you quickly think whether it makes sense to buy an apple or to sell it to the first one or wait for better offer. Nice touch. With a bit more diversity, it'd be even better. Keep up the good work. |
| May 6 13:26:20 | 4m 16s | Bloody Penny | ♥ 1 | Nice touch with various traps that force you to take more care while traversing the level. I just didn't get why sometimes the coin does not damage an ememy when it bounces off of another enemy, and sometimes it does... 🤷 Well done! Keep up the good work. |
| May 6 17:58:21 | 4h 32m | My Life is Cactus | ♥ 1 | Can't totally see the theme here, but none the less, this game is very very nice. I am a fan of tower defense games, so this one is just by my heart... :) Very well done. The only thing that needs balancing is the scale of things... unless that was completely intentional 😄 |
| May 6 18:58:53 | 1h 00m | I Burn | ♥ 2 | @mamoniem Don't be discouraged by the toxicity of some of other developers. While strictly speaking not a game, I don't see a reason why this should not be submitted. If somebody doesn't like it, they can always rate low. And it not being a game, I don't think the author expected to reach any great heights rank-wise. So what! LD was never about winning. Nevertheless, this is one of the best creative experiences I've encountered recently. It's personal, it's emotional and it's really well done. The changes to the candle were so subtle that at first 15 seconds I wasn't even sure anythings actually happening. 😄 The ambient that the music creates led me to a feeling of sadness in a why-does-this-candle-have-to-die sense. 😄 Very well done! Keep up the good work. |
| May 7 09:42:00 | 14h 43m | Lousy Life Lessons - [LLL] | ♥ 2 | My wife mad me play this. And I am grateful 😄 Very well executed 😄 I had some troubles with jumping, but it's probably just me being clumsy. The game feels extremely polished, very well done! :) Keep up the good work. |
| May 16 06:53:33 | 213h 11m | Failing Human | ♥ 1 | Very nice. But I was unable to get any trophy. I'm bad at such games. Graphics style is interesting, tho :) |
