| May 1 16:39:33 | Leaving with Ladders | ♥ 2 | One of the most content rich and well polished compo games that I have played in any of the (now 14) Ludum Dares that I have participated in. One of the best things that you did was how well you tutorialized it, you manage to convey how to play the game, what to do, and how to do it. You gate the player from progressing too far and getting confused and explain new things along the way. And then you somehow managed to create a nice coherent art style AND fantastic audio. Great job! | |
| May 1 17:17:21 | 37m 48s | Clunky Bird | ♥ 3 | Cool entry, I think playing this before playing a competitive shooter game could be beneficial, because it sure helps with your reaction time / flick shots, I like that the game progresses so quickly and gets harder and harder at a high pace, so that you don't have to wait for the game to become difficult. I feel sorry for the birds though π¦ |
| May 1 20:18:27 | 3h 01m | Magical Resonance | ♥ 3 | This is an amazing entry, there are so many small details that just make the experience on another level compared to what I am used to when playing Jam games. The production quality is baffling! Below are just a few of the many things in your entry that I found amazing: - The way the screen tilts/rotates instead of standard screen-shake felt really nice, and it was tuned perfectly. - There are so many cool spells, and they each have their own place when they are effective. You can't just spam 1 button and expect to do well. - The particle effects are just top tier. - It's so nice with voice acting, really makes a game stand out in my eyes (or uhm... I guess ears). - Hands down one of the best bosses I have encountered in a Ludum Dare game, the boss had so many cool abilities. - Really impressive art that is coherent and suites the game perfectly. - Great to find a game with a story behind it. Overall a masterpiece, thank you for making it! π |
| May 1 21:23:47 | 1h 05m | Hand of Death | ♥ 6 | The style of this game is just so fantastic. I really REALLY enjoyed every single second of it, when it ended I got so sad. I don't even know where to begin. But here are a few things that I found incredible: - The music combined with the voice acting is just phenomenal. One of the best sounding games I have encountered in my 14 Ludum Dares. - The combined 2d sprites in 3d space just works. It's not easy to accomplish this but you nailed it. - Most of the time a LD entry either has no humor or bad humor, this is one of very few exceptions to that rule, I genuinely found a lot of the lines funny. It all ties together so well, thank you for making such an incredible experience! |
| May 1 22:37:12 | 1h 13m | dunkin' dogoos | ♥ 4 | I finally managed to get super dunked while staying jelly! The game is challenging, but not in an unfair way. The key to winning is understanding how the camera works, once you do that it becomes a lot easier. I really like how polished this game feels, it's definitely one of your most "complete" feeling entries. I wish there were more levels, that's the best critique you can get. π Thank you for a great entry and stay awesome! |
| May 1 22:55:20 | 18m 08s | Dungeon Life | ♥ 3 | I really liked it, took me a few attempts to get into it. A tip for people having difficulties with the controls I can actually use the arrow keys, and that's easier for me when the attack is on the [z] key. I got pretty far in my last attempt, I went down about 8 levels, until I spawned stuck (I think a ladder spawn rigth on me preventing movement. But small issues like this are to be expected when you have so little time. Great job! |
| May 1 23:04:02 | 8m 42s | MoneyBag | ♥ 3 | This was a really innovative way of using the theme, I would go as far as saying that it is the best use of the theme that I have seen so far. There is just so much in this game, really impressive that you managed it during the Compo time, specially with graphics that are this nice. The style of the game is very coherent and it just feels so complete. Thank you so much for making this! π |
| May 1 23:28:54 | 24m 52s | Space Scrapper | ♥ 3 | I really like score-attack games, and this is no exception π My strategy was to go for attack rate, this is the highest score I managed to get: https://i.gyazo.com/87ea7b7c99b7aee75e1125db1e7e39d5.png |
| May 2 14:37:05 | 15h 08m | Sinking Town | ♥ 4 | Wow! This is one of the most unique looking game I have encountered in a while. I really think that you should develop an entire game with this graphic style because it is so amazing. These were my favorite parts of the game: - I enjoyed the Dialog a lot, great to see games with a bit more script! - The graphics, like I already mention, are just top tier. - Innovative camera system, I liked how it cuts into houses. This is one of those entries that makes me go "Oh I would love to make something similar" π |
| May 2 14:46:03 | 8m 58s | You Need Coins | ♥ 3 | It took some time to get used to it, it actually requires a bit of strategy. At first it seems like it will be easy but I was really close to dying until I started doing good rotations. Good take on the theme π |
| May 2 14:50:01 | 3m 58s | Life Business | ♥ 3 | I had a lot of trouble getting past 6 weeks at first, then I changed my strategy a bit and managed to reach 12 π Good use of the theme! |
| May 2 14:55:45 | 5m 44s | Paristroyer | ♥ 3 | @jofersgames that would be the loading screen. It confused me as well, but when the image is stretched all the way the game has loaded. Nice entry, the best part was the great art, and you also managed to use the theme in a good way! |
| May 2 15:01:43 | 5m 58s | Million dollar robot: Fear the forklift | ♥ 2 | It reminds me of Robot Wars, something that I really enjoyed watching as a kid. When I got used to the controllers the game became a lot more enjoyable. Visually the game is just stunning, absolutely gorgeous! Well done βοΈ |
| May 2 15:16:29 | 14m 46s | Duck-Tank | ♥ 3 | This was a really cozy experience π The whole setting reminds me of Donald Duck, I imagined myself playing as Scrooge mc Duck. The best part was that I was able to steal the canon, but I was quickly dealt with and they had duck for dinner, haha π Good use of the theme, fits really well π |
| May 2 15:31:32 | 15m 03s | Scythemen | ♥ 3 | The best I managed to do was 5 rounds: 4aecb475e029a3515816f8237882fc98.png Cool concept that uses the theme in a good way. It's a great base for a full mobile game. I really like management games so I think you should give it a go π |
| May 2 16:01:40 | 30m 08s | Lifetris | ♥ 3 | At first I found it to be a neat little twist on Tetris, but after a couple of times I realized how deep it actually is. Honestly this is the best Tetris version I have played. You really have to think about every single block, if you rotate the block it has to be for a very good reason. I really enjoyed the thought process that I needed to have in order to get a higher and higher score. My best score that I got is this: d585932d8ff306cc7990f6cf343a4354.png Would be interesting to see what the rest of you (including the developers) managed to reach, I love score attack games! |
| May 2 20:38:44 | 4h 37m | Stay alive! | ♥ 3 | 611b1bfca20e99ca8f6ee961e9bc8562.png I really like score attack games, this is no exception. I think I did ok, I mean it's a very hectic game and I am not the best at multitasking. Very unique take on the theme, great job π |
| May 2 20:47:45 | 9m 01s | Tecuhtliztacuhxochitl's Sacrifice Simulator | ♥ 3 | This is one of those games that you NEED to take some time to get into in order to get what the game is about. But when you do that, it is great. Impressive depth for a Ludum Dare entry! |
| May 2 21:01:49 | 14m 04s | Fateshift | ♥ 2 | Wow this entry is fantastic! I would actually want it on my phone, it feels like it's basically a complete game, you should honestly just add a bit more content and polish it and then release it. Here's a few things I like about the game - Suuuuper nice graphics, I just love them - The particle effects are so well made, it has a bit of a "Legends of zelda - Windwaker" feel, and that is a great compliment! - The blocking mechanic is very satisfying! Great job π |
| May 2 22:09:41 | 1h 07m | Dear Substance of Kin | ♥ 3 | Really incredible experience, the production quality is just through the roof. I literally got chills, for the first time ever in a Ludum Dare entry. The writing is so deep and well thought through. The visuals are top tier, the audio is really good. Every single aspect of this game is a piece of art. Well done! |
| May 2 22:35:52 | 26m 11s | Life Cycle | ♥ 3 | Impressive entry for being your first time! Good use of the theme, it's pretty funny to just keep sacrificing your character. I also really like the intro that you built into the first level. For a compo game the art is also really good, very coherent and nice. Great job! |
| May 2 22:57:32 | 21m 40s | noPRAVDA | ♥ 5 | Really nice and unique art style, I feel like it has great potential in a full release game, please consider that! The audio was also really cool, and added a lot to the overall feel and mood of the game. Great job! |
| May 2 23:03:20 | 5m 48s | Skeleton Brook Spire | ♥ 2 | Please @ me when you release a none-source code version of the game. I would love to play it because I really enjoyed "Lanternal : A Mageβs Sacrifice" from the last Ludum Dare and I see that you were apart of that team π |
| May 2 23:07:20 | 4m 00s | BULLDOZERS! FROM OUTER SPACE | ♥ 4 | This entry is giving me a bit of "Black & White" vibes, and I loved that game when I was a kid. The graphics are super good, the music is chill and the setting is very nice. Overall this is just a fantastic entry! |
| May 2 23:31:05 | 23m 45s | The Iron Syndicate | ♥ 3 | I really liked it, I think I have played every single one of your entries (at least on this site) and I dig your art style. Really unique experience! The fire was really good looking, everything feels so well polished and just fits together to create a coherent feel. Great job! |
| May 3 18:46:14 | 19h 15m | The Bounty Hunter | ♥ 3 | It was fun to play it on the stream, thank you for joining and posting your game. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well the voice controls worked, first time ever playing a voice only game. Great job! |
| May 3 18:47:58 | 1m 44s | Shop till you drop DEAD | ♥ 3 | I think this is the compo game that I have enjoyed playing the most, it's just my kind of game. Thank you for coming to the stream and posting it, always nice with a fellow LΓΆve developer. The best part of this game is how much juice and polish it has, it just shines in the game-feel department! Fantastic job! |
| May 3 18:50:29 | 2m 31s | Elevator Pitch | ♥ 4 | Short but sweet, it was the first game I played on my stream, and it was for sure one of the best. Everything was really well polished and my only wish is that there was more of it. I am very impressed at how well all the things break. I really appreciated all the little details, one can really tell that you put a lot of effort into it. From start to finish, it just so well packaged. I am really impressed with your sound effects by the way, specially the coins. Coin sfx that are pleasant to listen to are almost impossible to create. The boss is also super hilarious and the story (although silly at times) still has some substance to it. |
| May 4 00:24:06 | 5h 33m | A.N.D.Y.R.U.S.exe | ♥ 2 | Thank you for joining my stream and submitting your game there! It's a really interesting entry, I am glad that I managed to remember the password because I did not know I was supposed to actually type it in at later points. I always enjoy games that have a compelling story. Great job! |
| May 4 00:26:39 | 2m 33s | Battery Life | ♥ 2 | Thank you for posting it on my stream earlier. I had a great time playing it, for a compo game this is really well polished and great looking. The puzzles were innovative and the theme was used in an interesting way. I'm glad that I actually managed to complete a few levels because puzzle games are a bit of a weakness for me hehe Great entry! |
| May 4 00:30:30 | 3m 51s | Roboxery | ♥ 2 | Thank you for submitting it to my stream, I had a great time playing your game! It did take me a bit of time to figure out what I needed to do, but that is just because I am not that great at puzzle games. But when I figured it out things slowly started to be solvable π I think that you have a good difficulty level, interesting puzzles and great game design. I also like how coherent the graphics are! It just feels like a very complete and well put together game. Fanatic job! |
| May 4 00:33:48 | 3m 18s | Abduct Me! | ♥ 4 | Although the game was very short I enjoyed it a lot, and I would rather have a game be short and good, than long and worse. It's a fun take on the theme and I did enjoy upgrading my flying saucer. It was interesting that the different types of people behaved in different ways (with unique AI). One of my favorite parts of the game is the funky graphics style, it reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on, but that I really like though. Great job, thank you for submitting it to my stream! |
| May 4 00:40:06 | 6m 18s | Gold Digger 2084 | ♥ 1 | This game was a BLAST to play! Thank you so much for posting it to my stream. I enjoyed a lot of aspects of this game, but my favorite things were: - Although maybe a bit over the top, I still have to say the death and level complete animations are amazing, they make your game stand out. If you continue development of this game, don't tone it down too much ( a little would not hurt though). - The graphics are super cute, coherent and just overall well polished. - The gameplay loop is fantastic, I love score attack games and this is one that I might actually come back to later! Awesome job! |
| May 4 00:43:42 | 3m 36s | Ripped The Life | ♥ 3 | Thank you so much for coming to my stream and letting me play your fantastic game! Although I am usually terrible at puzzle games I am glad that I managed to play through the entire game, the only thing that I wish was different is that there were more levels. That is the best feedback you can get, so I hope that you will consider expanding on this idea, because I feel like it has potential! A few of the highlights of this game are: - The main mechanic, just so elegant and innovative. - The graphics, nice and coherent. Just feels well polished. - The level design, not to be underestimated! You designed your levels really well! Great job! |
| May 4 00:46:17 | 2m 35s | LifeShot | ♥ 3 | It was really difficult in the beginning, but thanks to your tips I started to actually manage to kill some enemies. I like this game a lot and I hope that you do turn it into a bigger game with multiplayer like you said that you might. Some of my favorite parts of the game were: - The enemy AI, figuring out how they work is key to performing well in this game. - The shooting mechanic is a great way to tie the game to the theme. - The atmosphere and mood is excellent, great job on the music! Thank you for coming to my stream and letting me play your game π |
| May 4 00:49:15 | 2m 58s | Mr. Bank's Journey | ♥ 3 | It took me a little bit of time to figure out how to get smashed in your game the proper way. But that was more my own fault than anything else. The game is very clever, I really like how you used the theme. The graphics are super cute and the entire mood of the game just screams Sheepolution quality. Thank you for posting the game to my stream and letting me play it (and thank you for helping me out when I was being a big dum dum). Just a fantastic entry! π |
| May 5 11:59:10 | 35h 09m | People Poker | ♥ 3 | I have a list of people that impressed me in previous LD's that I check every time to see if they have made an Entry, you are in that list. I really loved "Guerrilla Gardening" and I found it super cool that you made a specific version for me without screen-shake since it caused issues for me (for whatever reason). But enough about the past, lets talk about "People Poker". The graphics are stunning, I really love the style, the fact that it's made in Compo is just baffling to me! It's one of the more interesting interpretations of the theme, for some reason I feel like this concept could have been a Futurama episode π Really (punny) funny that you need to make sure you don't get "poked" at the poker table. The whole concept is just fantastic. Even though the game-play is pretty simple, there's quite a bit of depth behind it, you need to make split second decisions on whether or not you play it safe or bolt for the exit. Overall a fantastic entry! |
