| Apr 21 09:37:04 | Frankie Stein Keeps It Alive | ♥ 1 | Pros: - Nice hand drawn graphics and sounds - Good amount of story telling - Classic gameplay,yet you added story elements, that ties well with the theme Cons: - I wish "Next" button was hand drawn as well. It stands out among other art - Space might not be best separator for items to find as sometimes you might think you have to find "Dad toys", instead of "Dad" and "Toys" :D Overall nice game. It's not super rich in gameplay, but what it lacks in innovation gameplay it makes up with story innovation. | |
| Apr 21 10:17:54 | 40m 50s | Last life | ♥ 1 | Pros: - great graphics Cons: - Buggy and slightly clunky controls I'm afraid I'll just say same thing everyone else does: Great graphics. Really draws me into the game and you can say this game stands out because you can see the graphics are not some assets mashed together. Gameplay and idea is also really nice. What I feel it needs more is some technical gameplay polish, which feels to me you would work great as an artist in a team with programmer. |
| Apr 21 10:34:15 | 16m 21s | Fire Keeper | ♥ 3 | Pros: - Lots of gameplay features - Gameplay isn't superficially tied to theme, it feels like it fits naturally - Graphics and sounds feel unique - Not many bugs for a jam Cons: - Sometimes I can't press space when it says I can. nearly lost because could not transfer fire - Minor collision bugs Overall this feels like complete game, which isn't common for gamejam games. It has dynamic enemies, static enemies, spikes, bonus structures, different ways to get fire and pretty polished gameplay. It does not have award winning inovations, but it's also not a remake of some old game as far as I know. |
| Apr 21 10:45:02 | 10m 47s | Saving Emperor's Chick | ♥ 2 | Pros: - Nice handmade graphics - Straightforward and short gameplay, that fits the theme Cons: - Not much in terms of gameplay features - Some game mechanics aren't communicated to the user well enough Overall this isn't a huge game, but it's also not a buggy one. Everyone has their skill level and I think that it's good that author made a game with small scope, rather than sink in tons of bugs or not finish the game at all. |
| Apr 21 11:15:50 | 30m 48s | A Bolder Wizard | ♥ 1 | Pros: - Fun physics based core mechanic, that works well with the theme - Nicely used assets. Clean and fits together with each other nicely - Didn't notice any signifficant bugs (pretty rare for gamejam) Cons: - Even with ECS it still starts to lag at some point on relatively new laptop - No unlocks or upgrades in terms of weapons Can't go wrong with physics based zombie survival game. It's pretty fun game, especially at the beginning. I would add some progression, because at some point even bouldering zombies might get monotone, however jam games aren't expected to be played for a long enough, so I see it only as a minor issue. |
| Apr 21 18:20:55 | 7h 05m | How to raise a Demon | ♥ 0 | Pros: - Nice and unique graphics - Interesting take on crafting mechanic, that also works well with the theme - Basic 3rd person combat in between collecting materials and rituals - Voicing was something I did not expect from a jam game, but was pleasantly surprised by Cons: - Some colors are blending together, so it's harder to spot objects Overall I'm a fan of crafting and summoning in RPG games, so this one was quite enjoyable. There were quite a few bugs, but it did not affect experience too much, especially because I could progress without worrying of loosing all hp :D. Inovation wise the game used some standard elements of RPGs, but I don't think I ever saw combination and use of the elements in such a way. |
| Apr 21 18:36:08 | 15m 13s | The Toiling | ♥ 4 | Pros: - Nice graphics, especially main hero ability animations - Understandable ability UI - Very up to date theme and also fits the jam theme Cons: - Toilet papers seem unresponsive - There is some desync between actions and sounds It's a nice looking game. Similar to lots of others I can tell that graphics is the main skill of the author. Sound, thought somethimes not in sync with actions, are also well picked. Overall I like the game, but I'd love some polish in terms of controls and responsiveness. |
| Apr 21 18:51:48 | 15m 40s | Tiny Fragments | ♥ 2 | Pros: - Nice graphics - Innovative gameplay. Don't think I ever seen any game use something similar - Moving blocks with spikes out of the way just screams "Keep it alive" - Pretty short, which is perfect for the jam where you want to play many games Cons: This clearly is competitor for top spots, so I can be critical on the theme.. While keeping character out of spikes and holes is "keep it alive" mechanic, it does not feel like the main focus of the game. For example lots of survival games fit the theme better. Overall this seems to be best game I've played in LDJam46 so far. Enough said. |
| Apr 22 16:35:12 | 21h 43m | System Failure | ♥ 0 | Pros: - It's quite moody game - Minimalist graphics are quite cute - Fits the theme well Cons: - Camera movement can be a bit hard to get used to - It's was slightly unclear on when you lose and win conditions Overall it's cool moody game. I feel it could use some polish in terms of communicating game rules. |
| Apr 22 16:53:33 | 18m 21s | From Dusk Till Dawn | ♥ 3 | Pros: - Quite moody, in a scary Halloween style - Good basic platformer gameplay with a twist - Really original presentation wise - Fits the theme perfectly Cons: - Controls can be a bit clunky and feel random - Intro is cool, but it restarting every time when failing first part can make beginning hard Overall pretty original game with a nice mood. Haven't noticed any significant bugs, which is rare in Gamejam. The start of the game surprised me in good way. |
| Apr 22 17:04:47 | 11m 14s | The Great Return | ♥ 1 | Pros: - Nice take on classical game, that really fits the genre - Nice clean graphics - Challenging Cons: - Sometimes it feels that difficulty depends on randomness quite a lot Pretty cool game, it does not have 100 features, but the gameplay and main mechanic is pollished well. |
| Apr 22 17:33:29 | 28m 42s | Save the FOX! | ♥ 3 | Pros: - Cool graphics and visual effects - Lots of game feel - Good use of theme, I especially like when you have a pet that you need to keep alive Cons: - Movement is a bit clunky - Some graphical glitches Overall pretty moody game with nice gameplay. There are some ways to get around and "cheat", but it's just a polish issue. |
| Apr 22 17:51:31 | 18m 02s | Spring Tree | ♥ 3 | Pros: - Clean gameplay, that reminds of old school NES games - Difficulty increases naturally as the tree grows, which is pretty creative - Nice progress indication by visually changing the tree. Const: - Had to experiment to find out conditions of game over Overall really nice game, that fits the theme well. There are a bunch of bugs, but none of the significant ones. I really like how the tree is in the middle of attention and is both a way to increase difficulty and communicate current progress. |
| Apr 23 14:16:36 | 20h 25m | Attack on Lizilla | ♥ 1 | Pros: - Cool idea that fits the theme well - Combining 2d and 3d graphics looks nice and godzilla is pretty cute - Different amuntion as well as pickups Cons: - Controls seem to be quite unresponsive - Could use more player feedback, as right now it was a bit hard to tell when you're hitting the thing Generally cute game with interesting idea and I liked how you indicate progress of godzilla by destroying actual city. Fits the theme well, all I wish is for some more polish in game feedback and controls. |
| Apr 27 21:44:53 | 103h 28m | Slimekeep | ♥ 1 | Pros: - Really cute graphics - Original take on the theme. Don't think I saw anyone approach it "from this angle" - Very polished, I haven't encountered a single bug during my playthrough - Nice amount of gamefeel present Cons: - Seems like the only viable strategy is running in big circles and after 15 seconds shoot - It does not seem viable to pickup the void thing at any moment - Gets repetetive quite fast Overall one of the nicest looking and most polished games I played this jam. Graphics are simple and well designed for the game at hand, but at the same time gameplay controls and mechanics are nicely done too. Gameplay wise I wish there were some more content like powerups or special enemies to spice things up, but I feel like for the jam game it isn't a big issue. |
| Apr 28 15:03:28 | 17h 18m | Keith's Flint & Steel | ♥ 1 | Note1: I played version without post jam tweaks Note2: I don't know who Keith Flint is Pros: - Pretty moody sounds and graphics, that also look and sound nice - Clearly defined end goals and easy to understand gameplay without tutorial - Seems to follow a certain theme of a singer. Unfortunately I don't know him, but bonus points for that anyway - Short gameplay, which is pretty good for the jam when there are quite a lot of games Cons: - Above average amount of bugs Overall it's a nice clean game. It didn't go too crazy with features or inovations, but it did fit culture references, solid gameplay, nice graphics/music, cute fox enemy and pretty much all you need for basic gaming experience. Gameplay innovation wise I don't think this game cloned anyone, but this jam quite a lot of games did use "go get item and then throw it in the fire, so that it keeps burning" core mechanic. Otherwise innovation wise this game did nicely on the mood part as I never saw anyone try to incorporate culture and also it had that nice night horrorish mood. |
| Apr 29 17:22:14 | 26h 18m | Desktop Garden | ♥ 0 | Pros: - Inovative - Technically difficult - Great sound effects/animations and really nice gamefeel Cons: - You have to use windows and the game still sends inputs to those, so I got a bunch of windows sounds and some text in my text apps. Overall pretty cool game, where most of it is focused on the fact you play on your own desktop, which is cool, but also brings out some limitations as well. Gameplay wise it actually is pretty solid in gameplay mechanics and general feel. Pretty fun, even if it weren't on the desktop |
| Apr 29 17:51:02 | 28m 48s | HEAL ME PLZ | ♥ 2 | Pros: - Probably fits the theme best of of the games I played - Nice humor - Seems pretty accurate for someone who played a healer Cons: - Seems to have pretty high skill requirement for a jam game Overall I main healer quite ofthen,so this hit close to my heart and I must admit it was both accurate and fun healer experience. Both selection of special skills and main healing mechanic were pretty nice. I felt like kicking allies was fun, but at the beginning of the game it messed up my gameplay flow a bit. Sometimes it was a bit hard to distinguish enemies from allies when they gather up in a big pile and it was quite op to leave only one ally alive, but I guess both of these seem like realistic experience in mmos or other games with a healer. |
| May 3 16:08:28 | 94h 17m | Campfire in the dark | ♥ 0 | pros: - Clean graphics - Skill system to explore - Different ways to progress and fight enemies - Solid gameplay cons: - Difficulty spikes way too fast - Some bugs I liked this game. Rarely do I want to replay a jam game multiple times, but this one provided options in exploring game styles, which made me wonder "what if I skill this" or "what if I put all my torches there". Unfortunately I would always die almost at the same spot, betcaue enemies would start overwhelming me really fast. Overall this is a pretty neat game, Would not say it's super inovative, but it has solid gameplay, that I would love to see more of. PS. I feel like you deserve more feedback/ratings, so I suggest uploading web version next time. |
