| Apr 29 14:09:57 | Don't Kill My Cat | ♥ 1 | I guess life is a game that you can never stop playing ;) I enjoyed learning facts about your cat, but some more reward than that would have been great, like if instead of just holding the mouse button you had to continually stroke her, and that made her purr. | |
| Apr 29 21:38:57 | 7h 29m | utsvulten | ♥ 0 | My kinda weird, great stuff. I can't think of anything I would add or change. |
| Apr 29 22:06:48 | 27m 51s | Idle Idol | ♥ 0 | Great combination of genres, with highly addictive results! Seems super polished and the art is really pretty. |
| Apr 29 22:10:28 | 3m 40s | A Moment To Reflect | ♥ 1 | Not a lot to the gameplay, but there are some nice sentiments and the art is really nice. I love that crying bird and the way he hops around. |
| Apr 30 08:44:42 | 10h 34m | Money is Time | ♥ 1 | Wow I had a kid aged 75, what a stallion. I like the degree of interactivity in this, and flipping the "time is money" adage is a really clever and effective approach to the theme. Music is good, but a little repetitive, and the SFX are great. But what I really like is the graphics - just three colours, but used in such an attention-grabbing way. Nicely done. |
| Apr 30 08:55:36 | 10m 54s | Connect44 | ♥ 1 | That was definitely a thingy! I think I beat it, and I really like the idea of laughing at the player for trying the game, so thumbs up from me. |
| Apr 30 12:42:01 | 3h 46m | Space Struggle | ♥ 1 | Wow, so much going on in this game! I love the sense of humour and the art. In the gameplay, I'm not sure there's enough incentive to explore around, I pretty much just stuck to the shops where possible, but the concept is really cool. |
| Apr 30 14:19:06 | 1h 37m | safecrack | ♥ 0 | Woooah super fun! Really great graphics too. I was a bit worried when there was no music, but it would have gotten in the way of all the lovely coin collecting sounds, so I didn't miss it once I got going :) |
| Apr 30 18:00:26 | 3h 41m | Guardian Sphere | ♥ 0 | Amazing! I can't believe the amount of content you've managed to fit in here! Really gorgeous game and I like the balance of trade-offs between the upgrades, health and level. |
| Apr 30 18:19:24 | 18m 58s | Death Alley | ♥ 1 | Tricky to get the hang of, but very rewarding when you do! I love all the bouncy animations, and the speed effects are very satisfying. It could benefit from a faster advancement to the next frame, because I was always itching to have another go and waiting became a bit frustrating. Great game all round otherwise! |
| Apr 30 18:35:53 | 16m 29s | D.R.I.E.D. | ♥ 1 | Great art and music, great concept for a world, well written, and everything seems very well polished. It doesn't seem like there are enough opportunities to recover fuel (lots of opportunities to lose/spend it!) so I found it quite tough, personally. |
| Apr 30 21:51:51 | 3h 15m | The 7 Cents Deal | ♥ 2 | The artistry involved in every detail of this game is really astounding. |
| May 1 08:35:13 | 10h 43m | Live to Work, Work to Live | ♥ 2 | Bad flappy bird clone :( Great tetris clone! Overall really engaging - kinda feels like work, but is also fun, which I think is perfect balance for what it is trying to say. I didn't realise I had to specifically buy food and medicine and stuff at the end of the day, so I thought I was doing great and getting ahead, but everybody was actually hungry and sick. Kind of like... society... hmm 🤔 hmm 🤔 hmm 🙃 |
| May 1 16:36:54 | 8h 01m | Rainbow Rampage - Twitch Overlay Game | ♥ 2 | This is a nice addition to a stream for sure, and I think the pace is about right for it. I don't think adding speed really achieves anything, because the character just moves randomly, so extra speed just makes them run into the enemies faster - and they also get stuck on the walls a lot. I think it should be some other stat, or maybe temporary powerups or something. Good game overall though, and the first time I've played a twitch overlay game for Ludum Dare! |
| May 2 12:40:28 | 20h 03m | Seaway | ♥ 2 | Really gorgeous and fun game. I might have preferred more direct control of the ship, it had a tendency to spin weirdly. The autopilot also seemed to get very confused on occasion. Minor complaints though, I really enjoyed the game as it is, and even without the combat it was a very serene landscape to cruise around. Like a few other people have said I found the slave thing a bit odd, and thought I was collecting planks of wood, which made sense in my mind as constituting the "life" or "health" of my ship, whereas being destroyed because I run out of slaves doesn't make much sense to me. On the other hand, trading planks of wood for weapons probably wouldn't make a lot of sense either... 🤷 |
| May 2 14:51:19 | 2h 10m | Discharge | ♥ 2 | Really nice art and good gameplay. I liked that there were multiple routes through the levels (or at least semi-secret areas, maybe I ended up going the same way to the actual finish in the end, I'm not sure). It added a nice exploratory dimension to the game, especially at one point where I actually didn't have enough charge to activate something, so I was forced to find more first. I had a few problems with getting stuck on things, or not stuck on things, in the case of the moving platforms. It's also very quiet - if you don't have time to make music I would recommend finding some royalty free, I believe it is not against the rules for the jam as long as you exclude yourself from the Audio rating, which you have done anyway. Good game overall anyway. |
| May 2 21:49:22 | 6h 58m | Try to live | ♥ 1 | Took me a few tries before I really figured out what was going on, but once I did it was a lot of fun. I like that there were two layers to the clicker madness, and the ending was nice, the scene is really nice to look at once the buttons are removed. The music is also very effective. Good job! |
| May 2 21:58:32 | 9m 10s | Rock, Paper Scissors: After (School) Hours Edition | ♥ 1 | That's really satisfying if you can get into a good flow. I only got to 21 so far, but I think this is one that I will be having another go at! Music's real nice, and sound effects are effective. The art is nice, but it could some better separation between foreground and background maybe. |
| May 3 12:01:34 | 14h 03m | Pucamuc | ♥ 1 | The music's amazing, I especially like that funky title screen music! The art is really good as well, very bright and clear. I must say I found the game mechanics a bit frustrating though. I like the idea of paying blood for jumps, but only being able to move by jumping really went against my instincts, and the bounce blocks also seemed really unpredictable to me. Good level design though, and great game overall even if it wasn't necessarily for me. |
| May 3 12:20:02 | 18m 28s | Bloodletter | ♥ 1 | Nice, very satisfying shooting mechanics. Maybe a few too many enemies when you only have a slow weapon like a shotgun. The slo-mo mechanic would have worked better with a more targeted gun as well. Great art, music and sound effects though. |
| May 3 12:48:48 | 28m 46s | missed messages. | ♥ 1 | Beautiful game and story. So much art and mood and small character building details packed in for such a short space of time, I don't know how you do it. I initially thought the end of the first day was an ending and thought things came a little out of the blue, but after playing on I realise that you incorporated the idea of replaying into the game itself, which is something I really appreciate. Another thing I really like is the small degree of movement of the art with the mouse, it really adds a lot of life. Great game overall! |
| May 3 15:38:55 | 2h 50m | Rashness | ♥ 2 | Tough, but very interesting and engaging. I think his bullets are too fast and I didn't understand or like when things went dark. Great game overall though. |
| May 4 15:34:48 | 23h 55m | Oblation. | ♥ 0 | Great art, nice vibe, I like it. |
| May 4 23:10:19 | 7h 35m | GTApp - Great Tube App | ♥ 1 | Fun game. I like the way the music changes when you hit somebody. It was telling me that I was losing points for doing that, but it didn't actually seem to be the case. I didn't mind anyway, it was a good strategy for me because I suck 😄 Great game anyway, and kinda topical. |
| May 8 14:38:27 | 87h 28m | Capitalist Piggies | ♥ 0 | Brief but fun. The mechanics were well introduced, but I didn't find the mechanic introduced on the final level very interesting. I think it could use a few more levels that bring the other mechanics together, and really see what they can do. |
| May 15 19:16:32 | 172h 38m | Sinking Town | ♥ 2 | Really love the art and music. The robots are really distinctive and well designed. I enjoyed the gameplay, the concept of robots gleefully trading their body parts is a lot of fun, and made for some good puzzling. My main criticism is that certain things seem to be unachievable once you swap your arms out, and I had to restart twice because I did things in the wrong order. I still had a lot of fun though, this game has a lot of personality. |
| May 15 19:55:24 | 38m 52s | Devil's Death Collector | ♥ 0 | Great aesthetic and interesting concept. I can really see a lot of potential in this game. Unfortunately there are a couple of issues that detract from the fun a bit. The first is that you can find people that seem to match the description, but turn out to not be the target, and there is no way to rule them out without losing points. I think there should only be one match each time. Maybe there could be smaller details that could distinguish between close matches later on, but if all you´re given is hair, hat, glasses, then anybody with those details right should match. The second is probably a bug, and maybe only effects me, but the "black" hat and glasses are actually grey. Finally, I don´t like the way the camera moves, pulling in towards the character and stuff - I´m trying to look around damnit! |
| May 15 20:07:42 | 12m 18s | Life for Likes | ♥ 1 | Fun game, great concept. I like the challenge of trying to get as close to the enemies as possible wihout getting hit, it is certainly a unique challenge. Music and art are both really great, they have a lot of energy. |
| May 15 20:23:44 | 16m 02s | The Bloody Merchant | ♥ 0 | Good work completing your first Ludum Dare! I didn´t really understand what I was doing in your game, but I was doing quite well anyway 😄 You have a lot of good detail in the art and the music is good. With a bit clearer gameplay I think this could be a lot of fun. |
| May 15 20:33:38 | 9m 54s | Social Poker | ♥ 1 | I was legitimately starting to freak out about answering the questions before I got to the punchline! Well done, really makes you think 😄 |
| May 15 20:51:09 | 17m 31s | Happiness Life | ♥ 0 | Gets quite tough, but compelling all the way through. I like the range of work mechanics. It´s a bit quiet when you´re at home, but the music when you´re at work is really great. The art is very clear and communicative. |
| May 16 11:39:07 | 14h 47m | Human, your life is currency | ♥ 0 | Nice art. The gameplay would be much improved by the enemy having a range beyond which they cannot see the player, or only become suspicious, because they could see me from off screen and the insta-death is kinda annoying. Having to scurry for cover would be better I think. It's pretty fun as it is though, just a bit more about trial and error to learn the enemy's route. |
| May 16 11:59:45 | 20m 38s | Meds of Honor | ♥ 1 | Really nice art and clever gameplay concepts. The back and forth to the medkit dispenser gets a bit frustrating after a while. I guess you can chuck medkits across the level to avoid that a bit, but it often didn't go well for me! I would probably reduce all the zombies to one hit kills and increase the movement speed a bit, I think that would make the gameplay a bit faster paced and more satisfying. I really appreciate the reversal of the standard FPS mechanics anyway. |
| May 16 12:39:22 | 39m 37s | Order Eaty Eat 88 | ♥ 1 | Good concept. The art is a bit of a mishmash of styles and resolutions, which I'm not a fan of, but overall it is put to good use, and with the audio creates the desired atmosphere quite effectively. The gameplay doesn't have a lot to it as it stands, and ended before I even really got to use my gun. Like others, I was very confused about what was a platform on level 2, while there was a clear separation between foreground and background on level 1. The character also seemed to move more slowly on level 2. It's a shame it ended so quick anyway, I would have liked to have seen more. |
| May 16 18:42:53 | 6h 03m | Instagram Boyfriend | ♥ 1 | Cool concept. It wasn't immediately obvious to me that you had to change things in advance of taking the photo, I thought it was more of touchup/editing thing, but I figured it out in the end. Needs more levels as I guess ye know, but the art and for what's there are really great. |
| May 16 19:02:38 | 19m 45s | Dissuasion | ♥ 1 | Good story, and the intro tells it really effectively. The gameplay's quite good too, and I could see it being expanded into having additional dimensions revolving around organising a resistance, making contacts with sympathisers and avoiding attempts at infiltration and the like. The "life as currency" aspect doesn't really seem to come into it as it is, except as an aspect of the backstory. Good game overall, great writing, really sucked me in. |
| May 16 19:16:01 | 13m 23s | Unbalanced Silly Slot Game | ♥ 1 | I don't really get it to be honest. I could rarely shoot the high rollers enough to disuade them, and it was really a roll of the dice whether they bankrupted me or not. I like the sprites and sound effects though. |
| May 16 20:01:39 | 45m 38s | Memories of a Captain | ♥ 1 | Ahh this f**king guy again: the game. Really good but really hard, I couldn't get past the gamma sector but I reeeeally want to because the story is so intriguing! I think it needs an option to invert the y axis controls, I couldn't really play it with a controller because of this. I was able to invert them on the keyboard which made it a bit more intuitive for me at least. The colliders on the asteroids seemed to be a bit off sometimes, usually in my favour but sometimes not. Minor issues though - a stylish, addictive game with a very interesting story. |
| May 16 20:10:38 | 8m 59s | Life Merchant | ♥ 1 | Brilliant! Great gameplay concepts, well executed. I love how the music and colours change for each age. It could use at least one more level to explore the final mechanic in a bit more depth, but what is there is really excellent and fun, well done. |
| May 16 20:43:19 | 32m 41s | Path of Redemption | ♥ 2 | Wow, this game really has everything! It's absolutely astounding how much content ye've managed to pack in here, and it's all incredibly well polished, and well balanced. Probably the most fun I've had with an entry this LD, and with amazing art and audio to match. |
| May 16 21:06:13 | 22m 54s | 99Hearts | ♥ 0 | I really love the visual style and the music, and the gameplay concepts are quite unique and interesting (spending health to grow the level at least!). I didn't really like the way the shooting works, and trying to kill enemies with the bombs was also quite frustrating as some of them are a bit erratic it seemed to me. Bomberman style bombs might have workeed better maybe... After reading a few of the comments it sounds like the combat mechanics change a bit as you progress, so I might have to take another crack at this one. |
| May 16 21:27:46 | 21m 33s | Life Business | ♥ 1 | Made it to week 24 on my second try. This is quite a clever game, and you need to think quite strategically to make progress, but it's not entirely clear where the impact on the stats is coming from. Good work overall, will probably play again. |
| May 16 21:40:02 | 12m 16s | Sacrifice Knight | ♥ 1 | Tough, but satisfying once you figure out a strategy. The art is quite nice, and the audio, though limited, is very effective. My main criticism is that the charging enemies are right on you as soon as you enter the room, they definitely need to be paused until the player finishes entering. Good game overall. |
| May 17 11:10:18 | 13h 30m | Use your heart | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept, would be great to see it expanded. The music is epic! |
| May 21 11:59:30 | 96h 49m | Salvage | ♥ 0 | Very cool, very moody. Great style, graphics and music, I love it. I guess if I had a criticism it would be that the threat arrives quite quickly, so there isn't much time to get into buying upgrades and stuff. |
| May 21 19:52:03 | 7h 52m | Pixel Hell | ♥ 0 | Controls are a bit stodgy and frustrating, but that devil character is a lot of fun! Man he was really yucking it up at my expense! I really like the "hell" sound as well, really sets the mood. |
