| Apr 21 13:00:10 | Lost Goblins | ♥ 0 | A very nice entry indeed. I like the presentation and the puzzles are interesting enough to keep you going. Some improvement ideas could be automating the goblin when it has a clear path to the objective, as droning on the Next Turn button feels a bit janky. Also absence of zooming, but atleast you have the movement keys. Well done! | |
| Apr 21 13:37:07 | 36m 57s | Cthulhu: The Cult Must Not Die | ♥ 3 | The graphics and audio are very neat! I also like the idea, a good take on the theme. I had some problems fully understanding how the combat system really worked though, maybe there's not enough visual cues and feedback to let the player know what's happening, and movement is a bit jarring. More enemy variety is always a plus too, though I of course understand the lack of time. All in all, there's great potential in here. Very well done! |
| Apr 21 15:05:13 | 1h 28m | Keep the LEVEL ALIVE! | ♥ 0 | Idea is very nice. The controls are a bit janky, but keeping the level alive and rebuilding it is certainly a fresh take on the theme. Well done! |
| Apr 21 15:19:21 | 14m 08s | Hearth | ♥ 1 | The downscaled aesthetic is very cool! Overall a really good job on the presentation side. I was kinda hoping for a bit more oomph on the gunplay though. Very well done! |
| Apr 21 15:23:50 | 4m 29s | Mumei | ♥ 3 | A bit rough around the edges, but I really like the Megaman-esque graphics and music. Nice job! |
| Apr 21 15:49:07 | 25m 17s | Garden Royale | ♥ 1 | Nice work! Interesting art style, no sound's a bummer though. |
| Apr 21 17:57:36 | 2h 08m | Lamps | ♥ 4 | Very cool, the atmosphere is simply great! I understood the gist of the game pretty quickly too so I didn't personally feel it was "too mysterious", though I think some manner of minor extra guidance could probably still help, mostly in the situation where your light fades out. In any case, very stellar job, I liked this a lot! |
| Apr 21 18:36:26 | 38m 50s | 🐱 Cat Fun Factory | ♥ 3 | I seem to hit the bug described above every time I try to build the Sleeping Spot, no luck with different path setups. What a shame, this game looks really fun! I'll try it again if you find a fix for it. |
| Apr 21 18:55:26 | 19m 00s | Someone called for an ambulance? | ♥ 1 | Very entertaining! And I like the art style, fits this game very well. The floaty drive mechanics lend itself to fun drifting stuff once you get the hang of it. Only thing it's missing is some more sound effects. Very well done! |
| Apr 21 19:13:46 | 18m 20s | Kaoamaru Kaiju | ♥ 2 | An atmospheric interactive movie! I like the retro graphics style and the sound design make the overall tone very eerie. It's a shame that it's kinda missing all gameplay though (you could basically leave out all the space-presses as it is), a narrative-driven game in this style would be interesting indeed. Well done! |
| Apr 21 20:16:00 | 1h 02m | Chronocipher | ♥ 8 | The polish in this is pretty amazing really. Music is extremely good, and the graphics are top notch! For some minor gripes, the four submission elements could maybe be separated to their own fields for easier writing, at least that's one way of alleviating the problem of not seeing the full entered sentence. All in all, spectacular work. Very well done! |
| Apr 21 21:29:54 | 1h 13m | The Last Primpy | ♥ 0 | What an opening! A great entry, music choice was excellent and I really liked the gameplay. Maybe the delay of ship turning with the mouse could be lessened a bit for a tad bit tighter control, noticeable if you're doing a tight corner turn, but overall steering the ship wasn't a huge problem for me. Very well done! |
| Apr 22 16:13:02 | 18h 43m | The Ludum Dare Flame 🔥 | ♥ 1 | A multiplayer cooperative idle game, that's a new one. A very interesting concept, and fits the theme very well. There's a lot of further potential for a concept like this in my eyes. It is a simple game, but it is executed effectively. Very well done! |
| Apr 22 16:18:18 | 5m 16s | Rover Pilot | ♥ 0 | Gotta say it is as you described it: there's not much here. If it weren't for the minimap I wouldn't even know I was moving, there is no visual cues to tell. The ideas do sound interesting, it is a shame none of those are in the game right now. |
| Apr 22 17:05:18 | 47m 00s | Tumbleweed | ♥ 2 | The graphics and audio are **impressive**. A stunningly beautiful game for 72 hours, no question about that. Maybe the font choice wasn't the best for in-game text, but it wasn't too bad. Level design was also on point! However, I didn't really like the "click 'n drag" gameplay, personally it felt somewhat unresponsive and kept distracting me. I think having it so that you just click towards the direction for a push would already alleviate that a lot, or even getting a constant wind push by dragging towards a direction. Regardless, fantastic work! |
| Apr 22 17:35:55 | 30m 37s | Null and Void | ♥ 1 | Alright, a parkour game! It was fun jumping around the block, without a win condition it gets trivial pretty quickly but it was nice nonetheless. Controls are just a tad bit too floaty for my taste, but it wasn't too bad. An interesting art style, albeit the brightness is borderline eye-bleeding :P Very good job! |
| Apr 22 19:53:31 | 2h 17m | Spirit of Resistance | ♥ 2 | Very stylish game indeed, and a surprising amount of content here! The narrative elements make for a nice twist to ye olde minesweeper. Impressive work! |
| Apr 22 20:23:02 | 29m 31s | Wayward | ♥ 5 | Ha, "Why can't you go backwards, it's frustrating". It's certainly a creative, thought-provoking game. The map at the end is a really nice touch, pretty sure most people went for a second run once they saw the amount of stuff they missed :P I kinda didn't see much use of the theme in other than abstract terms though. Also it felt kinda annoying that the game forces you back to the main path if you dilly-dally around too much, but I guess that's part of the intended gameplay. In any case, it was a great entry. Well done! |
| Apr 22 20:35:13 | 12m 11s | Finterior Decorator | ♥ 1 | A very polished, chill game with an impressive amount of stuff to put in your aquarium. I really like the art style and the quality of it's execution, tact visual feedback on everything you interact with, fitting music and sounds, it's got everything. The only thing to complain is that getting coins is maybe a little bit too slow. A really stellar entry, amazing work! |
| Apr 22 21:14:44 | 39m 31s | Overheat | ♥ 1 | Your first Ludum Dare? Very nice! The gimmick is fun, the pacing is good and everything operates smoothly. I got 5450 on my run, and it left me with a feeling of a self-contained, nice little arcade game. Not necessarily much replay value, but I find focusing on one good run to be more valuable in an Jam game, and it delivered. I find the alarm was a good thing to have, otherwise I wouldn't have known where I am with the computer's overheating situation. All in all, it's a very good entry. Well done! |
| Apr 23 14:03:28 | 16h 48m | Activated | ♥ 3 | It is in dire need of "more everything", but it has much of the core pieces in place to do so. If you're going for mobile you might want to consider turning up the size of the graphics a bit (or zoom in the camera) so that it won't get cluttery on a phone screen. Well done! |
| Apr 23 14:24:51 | 21m 23s | Cat Shelter Simulator | ♥ 1 | A very nice game, Sims are a tough one to get right in a Jam with all the potential balancing issues but you delivered. Delivered lots of cats! I had some good time with this, I'd just wish to have the possibility to rotate the camera around and have more freedom of movement overall, especially since taking photos was one of the game mechanics. It's a really good entry, very well done! |
| Apr 23 16:50:02 | 2h 25m | The Keep! It's Alive! | ♥ 2 | This is brilliant! Very solid gameplay with a nicely ramping difficulty, enjoyable graphics and sick beats to play by (that ending beat is awesome). It's a funny twist on the theme too. A pristine example of a great jam game by all accounts. Really nice work! |
| Apr 23 19:55:13 | 3h 05m | The HeartBeat | ♥ 0 | A very interesting concept, and some really incredible artwork and music! This entry is certainly up at the very top of the list when it comes to audiovisual prowess and mood. It was clear that the huge amounts of filler text was part of the intended gameplay, to really drive home the stress, but it might have still been a bit too much. Granted, I did enjoy the tension it created, but some of the written content did feel a bit "artificially lengthy", if that makes sense. In any case, this was great. Amazing work! |
| Apr 23 20:37:11 | 41m 58s | Rocket Maniacs | ♥ 1 | A very impressive effort, especially for a Compo entry. Fun gameplay with just enough challenge that it frustrated you to try harder and succeed (which I did eventually). Neat clean graphics and extra points for the intro finglish. Solid stuff. Excellent job. |
