| Apr 30 03:09:39 | Anti-Hero | ♥ 1 | This game is sweet! It took me a couple tries to understand the nutrient selection system, but once I got the hang of the mechanics I really started progressing. Really interesting system of queuing up and loading your weapons. It feels good to get all four cannons loaded up correctly and fired into a line of citizens. Cool explosion effects too! It's smart, funny, challenging, and the progression feels right. Nice job putting this out in only 72 hours! | |
| May 1 01:17:40 | 22h 08m | A Cup's Life | ♥ 2 | I really like the look and feel of this game, and the music is great. Love the bossa style groove during gameplay. The scene transitions are well done, and restarting the current area quickly on death keeps you going. I played through to the end, and I found that the puzzles increased in difficulty at a good pace. I think maybe the last one or the second to last one seemed a little easy compared to what led up to it. Well polished game, and a great entry! |
| May 1 01:26:42 | 9m 02s | Soul Surge | ♥ 0 | Nice take on the theme! The roguelike aspect of this game adds a lot to the replayability, and I liked being able to go back through areas but faster/stronger. The mood and setting of this game are also really solid. I do wish the upgrades you received would add a little more 'umph' to your character and abilities, and I felt that the sword could have had a bit more range when attacking enemies. Great entry, I had fun playing! |
| May 1 01:38:14 | 11m 32s | Sheep It | ♥ 2 | Okay - this game was super polished and really well done. I'm amazed that you knocked this out over a weekend! The game is gorgeous, and the music fits really well with the setting. I also found myself laughing out loud at a few points. This game is also very relaxing, except for when all of my sheep decided to jump off a cliff. Really nice job - I had a blast playing! |
| May 1 01:46:37 | 8m 23s | Timezone | ♥ 1 | Really cool graphics and audio. Love the synthwave music - it really adds to the countdown aspect of this game. Gameplay is smooth and fun, although shooting felt like it took a lot of time away from the clock. The only real issue I had was that the game took a performance hit the more I played, and it eventually made it tough to jump over enemies. Great entry! Thanks for submitting! |
| May 1 01:58:55 | 12m 18s | This is your life now | ♥ 0 | The graphics were really good, and I appreciated the framerate counter. I enjoyed the story aspect of this, and the different types of choices were well thought out. I also really liked how the story changed in ways you wouldn't expect based on your past choices. The music was good, and it fit well with the tone of the game. I do wish that there was some other indicator or use for the different stat increases and decreases. I didn't quite understand what effect those would have on the game. Great entry - thanks for submitting it! |
| May 1 02:13:57 | 15m 02s | Save and sell them | ♥ 1 | This is nice mix of a platformer and resource management sim. The gameplay was smooth and rewarding, and the graphics and music were both excellent. I'm a big fan of the comic book art style, and you pull it off well here. This game also has a really neat progression system, and the ability to save is something you don't see often in game jam games. Great entry! Had a lot of fun! |
| May 1 02:42:37 | 28m 40s | Idle Idol | ♥ 0 | This has been the best LD44 game I've played so far. The gameplay is fun and addictive, the music is light and calming (with some cool portamento effects), and the graphics are nice to look at. I really enjoyed the progression of this, and once I got to the point where I didn't have to click anymore I was on the path to victory! Really awesome entry. Thanks for making this! |
| May 3 00:05:29 | 45h 22m | Almost free | ♥ 0 | Fun platformer! I went with the arrow keys for movement, and I found this to be much easier as I had better control over my attacks. The upgrades really do give you a lot of extra power, which is nice when fighting the ceiling-shooty guys and the jumping blobs. It seems like a lot of work was put into enemy variety and enemy abilities. The floating orbs attack in a really unique and cool way. Definitely kept me on my toes! Great entry! |
| May 3 00:23:08 | 17m 39s | Goals | ♥ 1 | This is a fantastic example of what a puzzle game can be. Figuring out the solution to each level was a lot of fun, and I really wanted more! Cool color scheme, and the audio was soothing. It all tied together to create a mood, and I really enjoyed that aspect. I also liked how the movement of the player would correspond to musical tones. Great entry! You should consider expanding this and adding more levels! |
| May 3 00:32:06 | 8m 58s | 9 Lives | ♥ 1 | I really like the hand drawn look of this game. It's really unique, and it's super interesting to look at while playing. I also enjoyed the vocal meow's scattered throughout. Made me laugh a few times! The controls felt a little clunky, but once I got the hang of it I was able to make the more difficult jumps. Nice entry! |
| May 3 01:26:38 | 54m 32s | Evil Dungeon | ♥ 1 | The flashlight effects are really cool, and it definitely adds to the overall mood in this game. It's fun crawling through the creepy dungeon to try and find a way out with only your flashlight. The different paths and hazards really add a sense of impending doom, and I enjoyed doing my best to avoid them. I think maybe adding some music would really kick the overall mood up to 11. Nice job! |
| May 3 01:33:47 | 7m 09s | time to time | ♥ 1 | Graphics are really well done! Running, shooting, strafing around enemies, and movement in general feels good. The audio also adds to the other-worldly mood. The map also feels large, which gives the player a lot to explore. I think some sound effects would add a lot to the mood, and to help indicate if you're taking damage or if you've hit an enemy. Great entry! |
| May 3 01:43:15 | 9m 28s | Don't Die, Dumpstercat! | ♥ 2 | You don't see many LD games with intros and instructions, and this game presented both very well. I loved the cat puns, and the music fit the game and style well. The different items each changed up the gameplay quite a bit, which was for a shorter game. I do wish there were some additional levels, but it's tough to fit in a lot of content during a game jam. Really nice entry - thanks for the submission! |
| May 3 01:52:31 | 9m 16s | Glampire Baby Herder | ♥ 1 | This game is really funny! Love the voiceover work you're doing here, it adds so much to the lightheartedness of the game (along with the music). I do wish I could have traveled farther away from the inn without incurring much of a tax, and I think it could be a little easier to pick up babies if they're above/below you. With that said, the game is a lot of fun, and I enjoyed playing. Thanks for making this! |
| May 3 02:06:09 | 13m 38s | SACRIFIGHTS | ♥ 3 | The music is great! The organ fits the mood really well. The game looks fantastic, and little details like the floating text when picking up an item adds a lot to the overall polish. The game overall seems to have a lot of depth. I was also blown away by the tutorial at the start. I don't remember seeing a LD game with a full tutorial. Lastly, the different types of demons you can summon are really clever. Super impressive that you did this in a weekend! |
| May 3 02:14:07 | 7m 58s | Cursed Samurai | ♥ 0 | This game is gorgeous. The parallax effect mixed with the falling snow and other particles gives this game a calming effect, which is juxtaposed with the brutal nature of the gameplay. The game is quite difficult, which I could see being a high barrier to entry for some. I also think the addition of music and sound effects would go a long way to adding to the overall mood of this game (which is already impressive). Really great job on this. Thanks for making it! |
| May 3 02:27:04 | 12m 57s | Ollo's Life | ♥ 1 | This kid keeps getting himself into the worst situations, and Ollo ends up having to sacrifice himself over and over. It honestly sounds like a nightmare situation, and Ollo should have peaced out a long time ago. I really love the commitment to the retro style of this game. The music and art really brought me back to being a kid and playing my gameboy for hours on end. The music did get a little repetitive, but I found it really impressive that you had multiple songs playing throughout the game. Great game! |
| May 3 02:37:06 | 10m 02s | Minister 2.2K | ♥ 2 | Great artwork! Really liked the look of this game, and there were some cool transition effects, like the newspaper spinning in. I also respect that you took the opportunity to comment on a political situation that is important to you. I did have some difficulty fully grasping when it was or wasn't good to allow someone to retire. I also think the beginning story screen could stay up for a little while longer, or allow the player could choose when to progress beyond that point. |
| May 4 00:38:36 | 22h 01m | 2019 Game - Ludum Dare 44 | ♥ 1 | Haha - this game is super funny. Nice job capturing a lighthearted feel while your family's life hangs in the balance. I'm also impressed with the level of polish. The fact that you have incorporated both a 2-Player mode AND a story mode is pretty insane for a LD jam. Not to mention the inclusion of an intro and story! The music was also pretty sick. Nice job - I had fun playing! |
| May 4 00:57:45 | 19m 09s | Kaide and the Bloody Sacrifices | ♥ 2 | This game is a lot of fun! The movement and combat mechanics _feel_ polished, and things like the camera shake and camera following your cursor adds a lot to the ongoing chaos. I also really enjoyed how you increase your HP with enemy souls, which can then be used for purchasing upgrades. It adds a lot to the replayability, and it kept me coming back for more. By the way, the soul absorption animation is very cool, and it indicates to the player that they are in fact increasing their HP. I think the overall mood could have been improved a little bit. Playing a game where you're absorbing enemy souls and making deals with the devil might be better suited in a darker setting. I think the addition of music and sound effects would also boost the mood quite a bit. Great entry - thanks for making this! |
| May 4 01:13:47 | 16m 02s | Kat's Flowery Fever Dream | ♥ 1 | This is one of the smartest LD games I've played. Managing your flower's water level and the timing of cutting off smaller flowers all while trying to grow your flower can get pretty hectic. Once I started anticipating price fluctuations better I was able to reach 99 coins. I do wish the money cap was higher because getting just a few flowers at 15 - 20 coins can quickly max you out. But I could also see how a bigger wallet might make the game a little too easy. The graphics and music are great, and they do a great job of adding some calm to the chaos. Really great job - I enjoyed this a ton! |
| May 4 01:20:53 | 7m 06s | With It Or On It | ♥ 1 | This game looks _really_ cool. The character silhouettes and red sky really kick the mood of this game into high gear. It definitely feels like a giant battle has taken place. The music also has kind of a "drums of war" feel, which is pretty perfect for this game. The gameplay itself felt like it could be improved with some additional fighting options. Maybe some more moves, or the ability to sprint or dodge could give this some additional depth. All in all, this is a solid LD entry. Thanks for making this game! |
| May 6 02:18:44 | 48h 57m | Coin War | ♥ 0 | Hilarious take on the theme, and great use of physics. I made some pretty cool looking (but sadly ineffectual) jumps off of the ramps in the middle of the map, and I did eventually knock all coins down. Fun game! |
| May 6 02:35:23 | 16m 39s | Necro-Mart | ♥ 1 | This game is cool! I'm impressed that there's a tutorial as most LD games don't include one. It was definitely helpful for getting started, although I didn't realize (at first) that I could shoot items to destroy them, which would generate a new/different item elsewhere. Once I figured that out I was on a roll, and I was slaying necros left and right! Great job on both the coding and the artwork. I had fun! |
| May 6 02:43:27 | 8m 04s | Save Your Bacon! | ♥ 1 | Solid and fun game that made me laugh quite a bit! I like the use of the theme to decrease the difficulty. Eventually buzzsaws started flying too fast for me to dodge, but it was cool to try and manage my current level until that point. Art and music were both well done. Nice job! |
| May 6 02:49:12 | 5m 45s | Pay to Win - Your life edition | ♥ 1 | Fun game with cute graphics! I really like the progression system in this game. It keeps it fresh as you play through. Sometimes I found it a little hard to kill enemies as they would spawn on top of me. Nice work! |
