| Oct 8 01:05:05 | Contraband | ♥ 2 | Very well polished entry! The movement and feel is very smooth, and lends itself well to platforming. Wall jumping is satisfying and works great. The way the mechanics are introduced is genius, and alters the gameplay dramatically. Sound and audio were both excellent as well. I did eventually get stuck in a wall when attempting to wall jump, but that only happened once. Great job! | |
| Oct 8 01:12:36 | 7m 31s | Cod of Duty | ♥ 2 | Funny and easy-going entry. It really has that Katamari vibe of growing and growing until you take up the entire play area. Pretty funny that you can eat ships as well. I think the game could benefit from not being able to eat items much larger than you until you get closer in size. I'd also like for the fish to always face the direction it's swimming. I eventually ate just about everything in the ocean and got to the end. Fun game! |
| Oct 8 01:19:35 | 6m 59s | Scrap Seekers | ♥ 1 | Neat game and good take on the theme. The art is funny (as is the overall concept), and the mood is generally goofy. At first I didn't know I was racing, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I also think the stats after each race could be either consolidated (instead of showing all scores separately after each race), or they could be formatted and broken out a little more clearly. Nice job on this entry! |
| Oct 8 02:03:47 | 44m 12s | Appeasing the Quadopus | ♥ 0 | What a bizarre game. I don't know what I just experienced, but I liked it! Fun and funny game with cool enemy mechanics. I enjoyed how each enemy would have different phases, each with their own attacks and strategies for defeating them. Neat voice acting too! The music felt a little disjointed and jarring, but I appreciate that music was included (so many LD games lack audio). Wild entry! |
| Oct 8 02:12:08 | 8m 21s | You Are Nothing | ♥ 2 | I like how this game is all about progression. Everything ramps up from the lighting, the music, the puzzles, and the enemies. This is a cool take on a puzzle game, and I really enjoyed it! |
| Oct 8 03:00:17 | 48m 09s | The Legend of Nüdacus | ♥ 1 | Really smooth gameplay, solid mechanics, fantastic art, and driving music make this a must-play for LD45. This is the sort of game that's perfect for a game jam, and it's a blast to play! Great job! |
| Oct 8 03:11:45 | 11m 28s | Shadow Go Home | ♥ 3 | What a cool entry! This has a very imaginative way of navigating your surroundings. It's such a cool mechanic, and I could see it being extrapolated into a full title. The graphics and audio give this game such a dark feeling, and I would give it 6 stars for mood if I could. Great game! |
| Oct 9 00:49:02 | 21h 37m | ASHES TO ASHES | ♥ 1 | Really neat puzzle game! I'll admit that it did take me awhile to fully understand (and remember) what each piece did, but once I got the hang of it I was much more engaged. I think a small tutorial or even a legend would be very beneficial, but I know it's tough to squeeze that into a game jam. Great job overall - really enjoyed this one. |
| Oct 9 00:53:01 | 3m 59s | When Nothing Came | ♥ 2 | Very cool and artistic experience. This game sets a mood right from the start, and it proceeds to suck you right in. The music and art are both fantastic, and as the composer for our game, I'm very interested in the process your team used for writing and recording this music. It's lovely and has so much character! You should be very proud of this game. Great job! |
| Oct 9 01:24:09 | 31m 08s | King Conga | ♥ 1 | This is a hilarious concept, and it's a fresh take on Snake! Really enjoyed how this played and handled. The wide turn radius combined with the continuous speed increases really makes handling the conga line an intense and skillful exercise. I also like how the camera zooms out as you pick up more people. And of course the graphics and music really add to the overall feel of this game. Nice job! |
| Oct 10 01:11:35 | 23h 47m | Acorn Rush | ♥ 2 | Really liked the music! It fit well with the cuteness of the game, which added to the overall mood. It took me a little while to figure out what to do with the acorns once I picked them up, but I did eventually get it. Nice work! |
| Oct 10 01:21:52 | 10m 17s | Survivor Slots | ♥ 1 | Great idea for a game! I like that you can play this at your own pace, which is important because a lot of strategizing is involved if you want to do well. The progression system adds a lot of depth to this game, and I'm impressed you were able to fit it into a LD game. I think some music and sound effects would go a long way to adding to the overall mood. Really fun game - thanks for making it! |
| Oct 10 01:28:13 | 6m 21s | Shy Hole | ♥ 1 | Very pretty game with great music. The ambience and overall mood were stellar (no pun intended). I also liked the messages received when eating ships, but the message box did get in the way of gameplay a little. I thought the growing and shrinking mechanics were very well done, and it was cool to see some blackholes become massive after eating a large number of ships. Nice job! |
| Oct 10 01:42:52 | 14m 39s | Lost Somewhere | ♥ 1 | This is exactly what a LD game should be. A cool and fun concept that really shines when properly implemented. I spent way too long looking for the 4th person, but after about 15 minutes of scanning inch by inch, I finally found them. The zoom mechanic is really solid and gives the game a large sense of scale. I'd like to see this extrapolated into a larger game! My only complaint is that I didn't hear any audio, but the game lets me rate the audio. Not sure if there was a bug or if I missed something. Fantastic game! |
| Oct 10 01:51:53 | 9m 01s | Entangled | ♥ 1 | Really solid platforming mechanics here. Nice work on the health and drop systems, and the inclusion of a well-implemented boss fight was really cool to see for a LD game! Graphics are really good, and the animations lend themselves well to the overall style. The music does also fit with the overall style, but I felt that it was a bit too repetitive. The sound effects could also be mixed a little better (for example, the attack sound was a bit jarring). Nice job! |
| Oct 10 02:06:32 | 14m 39s | VaultSmith | ♥ 1 | Really neat dungeon-crawler with an elaborate crafting system, which is really impressive for a LD game! The combat took a little bit to get used to, but once I did the game opened up for me. The music did get a little tough to listen to as it gets pretty dissonant and discordant. Overall this is a gem of a game, and I really enjoyed it! |
| Oct 10 02:17:37 | 11m 05s | Pug Dealer : An Underdog Tail | ♥ 0 | Fantastic work of art you've got here! This game had me laughing right from the beginning. The intro was amazing as was the concept. The movement, enemy, and dog collection mechanics were all done well. I also like the larger dogs you used to keep the player from leaving the play-area. Thanks for this! |
| Oct 10 02:48:28 | 30m 51s | Soundscapes | ♥ 2 | Really neat idea! It's sort of like a "What's different in these two images" game, but with sound. I found the sound design to be excellent. Playing this game with headphones is a must! I think the main issue I had was that it's possible to just randomly click until you win. I think maybe having a limited number of clicks would help with this. The only other issue I had was that the game was too short. I want more of it! |
| Oct 13 03:30:29 | 72h 42m | Mighty Mighty Bot | ♥ 0 | Cool platformer that fits the theme well. Challenges were set up well, and the game introduces the player to new abilities in a fun way. The map was huge, which is great for a game jam! Art was cute and worked well with the music, although the coin pickup sound was way too loud and harsh. It made me turn the game volume way down, which was unfortunate because I wanted to hear the music. Nice job! |
| Oct 13 05:33:27 | 2h 02m | MerchantQuest | ♥ 1 | This was really fun! I love buy/sell and resource management style games, and this scratches that itch. Graphics were nice, and the parallax effect works well. Music was also solid and fit the overall mood. I think there could be some balancing fixes with buy and sell prices, but things like that are always difficult to pull off in a jam. |
