Apr 21 11:22:53		Hell Yeah!	♥ 1	Really liked the concept although the minigame instructions were a little confusing to read at first with the text being a little too small. Vibe was cool with the lights and I liked the layout and that it was slower to walk through the crowds. Panicked on day 0 coz I couldn't find the lights room! Very sneaky aha! Did get very repetitive though so maybe having three different minigames would be good! Had fun though and well done!
Apr 21 11:30:58	8m 05s	CAT KEEPS YOUR NIGHTMARES OUT	♥ 2	Such a cute game! Absolutely loved my lil ginger kitty! Good concept too although I found it very difficult to attack the nightmares without touching them given the tiny attack range but I guess this is something you would have worked on if you had more time.
Apr 21 11:42:32	11m 34s	Fish in Peril	♥ 2	ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Such an adorable game with great graphics for the cats and turtles! Very sneaky too but I won't spoil that for new players... Simple concept which worked really well. Was repetitive but didn't get too boring as the difficulty increased and the acheivements kept me wanting to play again despite it being the same thing. I have 7 acheivements so far and will be very upset if I can't get them all... Only things I would say is it wasn't very clear when a cat had been clicked so I did end up spam clicking near every cat until they ran away. Also, maybe adding a little movement to the background to make it more dynamic and it may make the game a littl trickier too! Awesome game though! Well done!
Apr 21 11:58:56	16m 24s	Feed Charles	♥ 2	This game looks amazing! Loved all the graphics and detail especially with the little red electric animation when you get close to food. Control felt really strange though as I kept instinctively putting my mouse in the direction I wanted the jetpack to fire rather than the movement direction. Was also incredibly difficult to actually move food along with you. Real cute though and I'd love to have Charles as my pet 😄
Apr 21 12:28:54	29m 58s	Akumachi	♥ 0	Great atmosphere in the game! Adorable little creature with different stages and cute animations that made sense for the corresponding stats. Only thing I would say is that maybe ake the stats always visible as I found it very hard to keep track. Great use of sound though as indicators and added to the atmosphere really nicely. Awesome job!
Apr 21 12:58:28	29m 34s	Fill Up Yum Yum's Tum Tum	♥ 2	Cute, short game. Like the concept and storyline. I think the audio really made this game so well done to you! The animation of Yum Yum was also just the most adorable thing I've ever seen. I think it could have been improved by making sound and animation sync up though as it did have the vibe that they hd just been made and put in completely separately but great standard overall!
Apr 21 13:10:31	12m 03s	PollUFO	♥ 3	Nice little game and great components given the short amount of time! Would have liked to see more variation (like the right end) but I'm guessing there just wasn't enough time. Loved the sound though! Music got a little repetitive but really suited the game and added to the vibe. That laser noise is adorable!
Apr 21 13:23:37	13m 06s	Turnip Turmoil	♥ 4	Great game with a lot to it! Gameplay didn't quite feel smooth and controls felt a little odd at first (I am just bad with coordination though...) Real cute graphics though and the game felt like a proper game with the tutorial, menu and leaderboard etc. Sound was also really nice.
Apr 21 13:37:53	14m 16s	The Last Guardian	♥ 2	Great concept and different to a lot of the ones out there which is nice. Graphics are adorable and the game looks and feels very polished. Definitely has the potentioal for more features to be added and expanded if you wanted to!
Apr 21 13:51:10	13m 17s	Sprouting Tale (LD46)	♥ 2	Really love the atmosphere in this game and it does look great. If you had had the time to add any sound, it would have been beautiful. Great concept as well with putting a twist on the usual platformer and I liked the take on the theme as well with keeping the plant alive but not directly protecting it from attack. I am pretty awful at coordination though and didn't make it very far through the first level despite multiple tries as I found it very diffcult to catch the plant again since it goes off screen and comes back down so fast with little indication of direction other than th dandelions in the wind but it is hard to react by the time it comes back into view. Possibly making it easier to catch would make it a little more enjoyable but you can still keep the difficulty up through the level design. Great job though and an amazing product especially since it was a solo effort!
Apr 21 14:37:47	46m 37s	Save The Cake	♥ 2	Ridiculously addictive! Just spent at least 20 minutes playing this and now my arm aches from spam clicking... Cute graphics and great animations. Both the audio feedback and visual feedback are great making it very immersive and fun. I liked the upgrades although I was sad that I spent all those coins on the last one and never knew what it did 😢 Only criticism I could possibly think of would be to randomise the movement a little more and keep thm constantly moving. Once I got down to one piece of cake, it was really easy to keep it on screen since I knew which Sleems not to kill to carry it back to the middle. Because of this, I managed to get through waves 15-22 purely from guiding the cake around the screen and spam clicking all the stationary Sleems. Adding randomisation would make this more difficult and the Sleems continuing to move would make it harder to spot where the final piece is. Absolutely amazing game though and incredibly impressive for a solo effort from scratch! Has the scope to be expanded as well with more upgrades and enemies and possibly variations with the waves like boss waves. Awesome game! Really loved it! Well done! Wonder if anyone can beat my longest run? 👅 Save the Cake.png
Apr 21 14:53:26	15m 39s	Snowball's Day In	♥ 3	Great concept and so cute! Very original. Audio and visual feedback for all the actions was great and definitely makes you want to beat your high score! Maybe being able to see your score as you play would be nice then it would make me try even harder when I'm close to my high score and make it even more addictive! Very cute, well done!
Apr 22 14:14:56	23h 21m	BUBBLE BOY	♥ 2	Loved the reminder of playing tamagotchi in the playground with friends in school! Really sweet and charming game with nice audio and visual feedback. I would say it is a little repetitive though but I'm guessing there wasn't enough time to add any other features! Maybe something simple like sometimes he gets sick then certain stats will drop quicker and you have to help him get better. Or adding baby, teen, adult and elderly type stages like tamagotchi would change it up a little even if the activity animations are kept the same. Overall, a great game! Well done!
Apr 22 14:29:51	14m 55s	Keep It Alive	♥ 1	Such a cute little game! Very simple but the different endings gave it a replayability factor. I liked that it was so adorable but also I felt like he was staring into my soul at times... I couldn't keep it alive unfortunately but I did try multiple times! Maybe adding a counter so you can see how many endings you've unlocked would be fun coz that would beep me trying and trying until I got them all! Well done on a great game!
Apr 22 14:35:39	5m 48s	Apple Panick	♥ 1	Great game which looks really polished! Offered myself to the gods accidentally but I liked that you could fall into the abyss haha
Apr 22 14:45:54	10m 15s	Can you look after my plants?	♥ 2	Really great idea and I love that you added the replayability factor with unlocking information after a certain amount of points. Graphics were cute although maybe you could have made it a little clearer if you had watered a plant that day or not as I found it hard to keep track. Maybe just a water pouring sound or something? Overall, great game and well done!
Apr 22 14:51:02	5m 08s	The Game of our Lives	♥ 1	This was really interesting and atmospheric. I agree, I wouldn't call it a game but was a calming amidst all the games I've been playing and could make a really great meditation tool!
Apr 22 15:37:22	46m 20s	Sunlit	♥ 2	This is a beautiful, relaxing game and I reached 204 before thinking I should probably play another game! The graphics are simple but beautiful with the variation in colour and how it stands out against the background. Really atmospheric and definitely addictive! Well done!
Apr 22 17:32:42	1h 55m	Leafy Hero	♥ 3	Real cool and original concept which is actually more dofficult than I thought it would be! Really loved the cute graphics and sound as well. Great game! Well done!
Apr 22 23:39:08	6h 06m	Balloon Balloon!	♥ 1	Really great game! Loved the idea and interpretation of the theme which really brought me back to childhood memories with my brothers! Great graphics and sound and super impressive overall with just yourself working on it. We agree with the previous comments about the movement being extremely difficult to contol. It was incredibly slidey which makes me think that maybe the movement is frame rate dependent which is a something a lot of people do so maybe it didn't feel as slippy on your machine? Amazing game though with a high level of polish and slipping everywhere did make it very entertaining even though we couldn't get past 7 hits! Well done and I reckon you should continue to develop it post jam!
Apr 23 00:12:43	33m 35s	Something Magical	♥ 1	A really beautiful game and so nice and relaxing! Was stuck on 3599 plants revived for so long but just had to get it to 3600! Really nicely polished and the graphics are simple but captivating. The music didn't get too repetitive either and there's a lot of potential for expansion as well. Incredible game! Well done!
Apr 23 12:08:41	11h 55m	A Rock and a Heart Place	♥ 1	Really loved the concept and somehow really want to take care of my rock for longer! GIVE ME MORE DAYS!!! Love the story and the narrative is great. I think the actual gameplay needs a little improving though as I did have to restart after accidentally going under the floor and dropping him under there! A little polishing and more days and you'll have a fab game on your hands!
Apr 23 12:18:42	10m 01s	Hermann the German Dough	♥ 1	Really nice and orginal concept amongst all the plant and fire games! Very cute graphics and I really loved Hermann! The visual feedback from him was nice but could maybe be enhance with some audio too.
Apr 23 20:09:22	7h 50m	Spoon	♥ 1	This was a cute game! Reminded me of the Google Chrome dinosaur! Really nice animation and a solid concept. Could be made a little smoother but great job especially being a completely solo game!
Apr 23 20:27:24	18m 02s	Seek the Sun	♥ 1	A really great entry and a very impressive compo game! Loved the atmosphere created especially by the rain and the way it fell on the leaves was beautiful and realistic. The rotating camera did frustrate me a little since I am playing on my laptop so it made it difficult to click some of the smaller branches that I wanted to. Maybe have the option to turn it off rather than resuming rotation after having not manually moved the camera in a while. Other than that, it was great!
Apr 23 20:38:43	11m 19s	Melody's Forest	♥ 0	This was cute and I liked the graphics. Nice original concept as well. As mentioned before, maybe giving the creature more life or adding some more animation like birds flying across occasionally would improve it. Doesn't have much of a replayability factor but was charming nonetheless and good for a solo effort! Well done!
Apr 23 21:07:01	28m 18s	Slimy Friend	♥ 0	I liked the idea and it was nice to have the visual clues unlike some similar games I've played where you just have to guess and try and remember if you've fed them and how long ago etc. I think, with a little more polish, this could be a great game! At the moment, it feels a little awkward to play, possibly because the hitboxes on the icons are too small so I don't always manage to pick up the items I've bought straight away. Great idea though and a good job for the amount of time you had!
Apr 23 21:17:12	10m 11s	Sun Shower	♥ 3	Beautiful graphics and nice ambient sounds. This would make a fantastic mobile game and I just love the style and the vibe of everything! Not sure if it was an issue or just be being bad at the game but it kept dying on level 5 when the meter wasn't very farleft or right... If you did decide to carry on developing it, maybe adding a few different types of plants for some variation would be cool! Awesome job overall and well done!
Apr 24 20:29:00	23h 11m	Friendly Fire	♥ 3	Possibly the best Ludum Dare game I've played so far! Such charming graphics, characters and storyline! Really put a twist on all the other fire games out there and there was so much in the little game! Absolutely loved it! I'm not usually a massive fan of platformers but the style of this one made it incredibly enjoyable and not frustrating with the upgrades and things. Did take me a long time to do the last minigame though as I completely missed what I was supposed to do and went to the previous dance place before wandering around for a while not knowing what to do until I spotted it and immediately kicked myself 😆 The only bit of constructive criticism I could possibly give would be adding some more sound effects and the music at the end did get quite repetitive and didn't quite loop well but I'm sure this would have been something you would have done with more time! Overall, incredible entry and you should be very proud! Well done!
Apr 24 20:35:43	6m 43s	Pirabbit	♥ 1	Real simple and cute game with good control. It does get a little repetitive though so maybe checkpoints or upgrades or something would be good to add. I'm sure you would have done with more time though! Awesome job!
Apr 24 22:54:06	2h 18m	Hacking is Probably Not Like This	♥ 0	This game had a mad amount of content in and each component was done to a good standard as well! I'm guessing you were able to spend a lot more time on the content given the lack of graphics but that said, it fit the vibe of your game very well and it was nice that you did put the time in to putting the background pictures in. As it's been said before, I agree that 30 days was too long since the game did get very repetitive but I played to the end just to see what the result would be and that one ending screen was so unsatisfactory for the amount of time I'd put into it. Incredibly impressive with the amount you managed to produce in the time! Awesome and original concept as well and with some fleshing out with sound and the storyline and tweaks here and there, it could make a great game! Well done! (PS loved the detail of the clock in the corner showing the actual time as well)
Apr 24 23:17:33	23m 27s	The Last Flower	♥ 1	Really cute graphics and I liked the sound effects too. Very nice vibe and overall atmosphere with a good concept! I did feel a little like it was a bit unnatural control-wise. Possibly the walking was too slippy and the jump a little too floaty but those are just things you can tweak until you're happy with them if you get the time! I did have an issue in level 2 where it wouldn't let me shoot my swords after I'd started moving which was not helpful in the level full of enemies 😆 Overall, real cute game and so much potential here! Definitely continue to develop it post-jam! Well done!
Apr 25 16:05:34	16h 48m	Eveleen	♥ 1	I really liked this game. It struck a chord with me and I think you've managed to capture depression well and the fact that it takes constant effort to get better and it's not a smooth journey but there is hope if you keep trying. I feel like it's difficult to explain to people that happiness is a choice you have to actively make to want to get better as a lot of people don't understand that it's not exactly choosing to be happy but choosing to continue putting the effort in to making things better and do the things you know you enjoy. Thank you for this experience. Anyway, about the actual game, the combinanation of the graphics, music and the style of the text really created a beautiful atmosphere in a great interpretation of the theme. The continuous walk really highlighted the monotony of life that you describe at the start and I like that she keeps walking like she's doing the same thing she was at the start but her outlook has changed and she's happier now. The only constructive criticism I could possibly give would be that maybe the first click on text skips to the end of the line rather than to the next sentence since I read quite fast and I found it a bit of a pain to have to wait for it to be typed out since I didn't want to skip ahead. Also, I think there is a small bug somewhere as it repeated every line twice in one section of the story. Overall, a beautifully told narrative and definitely something you should be very proud of. Well done!
Apr 25 16:33:24	27m 50s	Blooming with You	♥ 1	I liked the atmosphere created and the storyline although it was a little too slow paced in my opinion. The different paths were really nice though. Maybe if you had more time, it would have been good to add the ability to pick responses to their responses and make it a little more conversational although that would have possibly created a huge branching tree so I totally get why you kept it simple question and answer! Overall, nice concept and interpretation of the theme. Well done!
Apr 25 16:39:23	5m 59s	Hamloon	♥ 1	A cute game although it took me a sec to figure out the actual mechanic and I did end up popping myself 3 times before figuring it out! As mentioned before, it does get quite repetitive although the changing background is nice to see as it scrolls.
Apr 25 16:55:15	15m 52s	Overly Fragile Relationships	♥ 1	This was definitely a really engaging and realistic game and a great original idea! Loved the storyline and the different personalities of the friends which affected their reaction to your activities. Really well done!
Apr 25 17:08:49	13m 34s	Well bucket	♥ 3	Really nice concept although I agree with previous comments about the graphics needing some work. The art and textures are nice but I feel it would have been much better for her to face the direction she's walking rather than the way your mouse is pointing. The storyline could have been fleshed out a little more maybe with some more variation in what to put down the well other than just food or rocks. Good job though!
Apr 25 17:22:22	13m 33s	In A Game Wherein	♥ 2	You continue the cycle of playing and reviewing games. You open with a positive comment about how a "nice atmosphere was created", how the "concept was original" and how "the game was well put together". You move on to your constructive crticism which is always "maybe audio needs work" or "it lacks a replayability factor" or "tenuous link to the theme" However, you always follow up with "I'm sure this is something you would have done given more time" and "amazing job for a solo effort" and "well done in creating something so great in such a short amount of time". You proof read the comment and hit publish. You scroll up and give the game your honest star ratings before returning to the sea of games to start again.
Apr 25 17:29:17	6m 55s	Blocks 'n Trees	♥ 2	A nice puzzle game with cute graphics and a nice idea. For further development, maybe make it a little smarter with what blocks are given rather than completely random since it is quite annoying when you only have the black boxes and 2 fully watered trees. The graphics were lovely though and the music was relaxing and didn't feel loopy of annoying. Possibly added additional sound effects/animations would improve the feedback from actions and make it a little more engaging but overall, nice job!
Apr 25 17:44:54	15m 37s	Node Colony	♥ 2	I liked the concept and the style of graphics was simple but effective and it didn't feel too static. Colours fit well and I appreciate that you probably didn't get time to finish everything you wanted to, like a tutorial, but it did seem quite confusing to play at first so maybe just adding a more despcriptive and in depth set of instructions in the description would be nice! Good job!
Apr 27 10:50:03	41h 05m	Princess Ribbon	♥ 2	Really great concept and amazing job getting all those different levels in as well as different mechanics introduced throughout the levels as well! Love the graphics as well and the simple animation really works. Possibly a few more sound effects would be nice to really get the player involved with fab feedback but I definitely think you should continue development of this and, as previously mentioned, I reckon it would do so well on mobile! Great job and super impressive that this was a compo game as well!
May 12 19:05:23	368h 15m	Perish alive	♥ 3	Very much enjoyed this game with the adorably cute graphics and I love the style with the atmopshere being completed with the music. I like how the thought had been put into making the background look darker and cloudier as health decreased. I liked the concept as well with it bing quite different to most of the games submitted. A couple of things could possibly be improved and expanded upon if you'd had more time would be clarifying the aim of the game. If it is purely survival then maybe some checkpoints would be cool. Like something basic could be if you're constantly travel right, then the background could maybe change to varying biomes and with variation in enemies instead of just the number of enemies. Another expansion idea could be the addition of some way to get more workers. Overall, absolutely loved it! Incredibly impressive job for such a short time! Well done!
