| Apr 23 12:20:15 | Mis Vacas | ♥ 1 | Fun. Nice music. Great simple retro art, just the right amount of work for a jam. Beat it with only a few deaths. No complaints! | |
| Apr 23 12:45:00 | 24m 45s | Fish Flop | ♥ 2 | Pretty fun, and surprisingly challenging. I did reach the end after falling in to the first pit about 5 times. Somehow I forgot where it was every time! Then I went down the waterfall looking for some kind of "true" ending. 😜 Some additional art assets would have gone a long way I think, even some simple tufts of grass and/or rocks to make things look more interesting. And maybe some clouds. The music fit well enough. Definitely better than no music at all. 👍 |
| Apr 23 13:01:34 | 16m 34s | The Dark Cave | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool. Good use of simple graphics, and great mood. I beat it in one go though, and I never had to use the throw feature. Since my pickups were maxed I just bumped one of those little squares down the ledge toward the spider instead. Still gave me a bit of a scare when it started chasing me as I got further along! A minor complaint would be that the splat sounds got a little repetitive. |
| Apr 23 13:18:15 | 16m 41s | Earth 2.0 | ♥ 1 | 300 saved, first try! 😎 Graphics were well made, but the pop-in made it look kinda janky. I'd suggest an alpha fade-in. And steering the ship would have felt better if the tilting animation was smoothed out instead of snapping back and forth. Also, improve the music in the post-jam version. 😉 Otherwise pretty fun and just the right amount of play time. 👍 |
| Apr 23 14:03:30 | 45m 15s | Cheat Or Die | ♥ 2 | Pretty dark! But in a good way. Great art, and the soundeffects boosts the mood very well. I gave up in frustration after a while though, as it was not very clear exactly when it was possible to pass the answers around, and sometimes the supervisor turned around just at the last second. I think I successfully passed two answers all the way. Projecting his actions slightly ahead of time would have been great. I still gave it a fair score though! 👍 This would make an excellent minigame within a bigger game about Mathilde. |
| Apr 23 14:28:12 | 24m 42s | Life of ITman | ♥ 2 | Got 600809. 😎 Very stressful, which I would call a success. Plays well and I quickly learned to grab fire extinguishers without stopping. Nice art and fitting soundeffects, though the music got annoying after a while. Especially since I was able to keep going for quite a while. Fun, but I wouldn't want that job IRL. 😜 |
| Apr 23 16:30:25 | 2h 02m | Hive Preserver | ♥ 2 | Tried to run this on Linux via steam proton, but it fails to see subfolders with spaces in the name, so it won't work. Looks interesting though, reminds me of Natural Selection. I might try again at a later time and check if Lutris can handle it. |
| May 2 11:04:29 | 210h 34m | Entropia | ♥ 2 | Excellent little game, enjoyed it and then I died of radiation because I failed to check the value. 😜 Cute graphics. The music fits very well and gives it a chill mood. Plays nicely and in a familiar and easy to understand way. 👍 |
| May 7 13:36:12 | 122h 31m | A Guy and his Princess | ♥ 1 | Nice little game, but far too easy (as many have said already.) Nice art, but the music was very noticeably amateurish, but at least there WAS music. 👍 Interesting take on the theme, and if it was my game I would probably have had the princess be part of solving puzzles, similar to Princess Ruto in Ocarina of Time. |
| May 7 14:03:20 | 27m 08s | Hostage Escape | ♥ 0 | Excellent entry with nice art direction. The music felt a bit off at first for some reason, but by the time I beat the game it had grown on me. Plays well, and it's definitely the kind of game I would expect on mobile, though I don't play mobile games personally. And I prefer Zachtronics-style, puzzle games. 😜 I think I had a bug where one pistol cost double (even after supposed fix?), probably related to my broken mouse that keeps double-clicking. Still beat that level with just the one pistol though! Not sure if it was intentional or not. |
| May 7 14:26:55 | 23m 35s | Brainstorm | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool idea, but I found it difficult and few connections made sense, and even less sense when they seemed like a good fit and still got pushed away. "Cat" and "Likeable" were apparently not a good connection, but maybe you are not a cat person. 😜 Some simple music and sounds would have helped alot. If this was a full release game I would probably have preferred a more casual approach where you just make connections with the mouse at your own pace, instead of aiming and shooting with a time limit. That "alchemy" mobile game comes to mind, if you know it. |
| May 7 15:03:21 | 36m 26s | Fox! Hen! Bag! | ♥ 3 | I R GRAINS Nicely made little adventure slash riddle! I like when simple art styles are used well. The only complaints I can think of was rather low sound volume, and falling off the mountains just shoots you instantly down into the skybox, having to quit and restart. Unless I missed a reset button? Would have loved an easter egg down at the cave. The skeleton was great though! |
| May 9 05:53:37 | 38h 50m | Save The Dinosaur | ♥ 1 | This reminds me that I need to practice my typing skills! A bit embarrassing coming from someone calling himself a programmer. 😏 I can definitely imagine this as a full release, with polished up and expanded gameplay, and graphics (particularly the letters), and some simple story mode. Would have been even better with more appropriate, cuter sounds to match the visual style! Don't think I found any bugs, except MAYBE an "O" keypress failed to register, though it MIGHT have been a "D". 😜 |
| May 9 06:04:55 | 11m 18s | Rough Ship | ♥ 2 | As a Linux user I have found it to be too much of a bother to get some of these windows-only games running, and it's mostly because of small inconveniences like spaces in the filename. Pretty sure it can be done ofcourse, but it just takes too long to do. A bit ironic that I had to publish my own game as windows only because the html5 build broke! Anyway, I had this on my list of games to play and rate, but unfortunately I can't. Sorry! Next Ludum Dare I might prepare a windows virtual machine for this purpouse. |
