| Oct 5 19:24:36 | For { } | ♥ 1 | This is awesome! I like the interpretation of the theme. The puzzles are very satisfying to complete, and the sound and graphics are really nicely done, and make the gameplay even more enjoyable :-) | |
| Oct 5 20:53:12 | 1h 28m | Loopy Loco | ♥ 1 | This game is extremely enjoyable. I like the combination of interesting puzzles, multiple solutions, and time pressure. The graphics are cute, I like the sounds and I haven't encountered any bugs or other problems so far (except a missing space in the "How to Play" section. Not important, just in case you didn't notice.) Overall really cool :-) |
| Oct 6 18:41:49 | 21h 48m | W.M.L.F | ♥ 1 | This game is awesome! It's very satisfying to play, the sound effects are pretty nice, and I liked the music. I saw somebody else suggest a mechanic to get the cows out of corners, and I think that'd be cool (not a huge deal, just it's a little frustrating to try get them out, it interrupts the flow of playing.) I found the layout a bit confusing, maybe because it's counter-clockwise, but it does add to the original atmosphere of not knowing the character's backstory. I liked the signs/posters that were on the wall, and the cool art and colour scheme added to the mood. Epic game overall |
| Oct 6 18:53:08 | 11m 19s | Chronolooper | ♥ 1 | Hey, I can't seem to make the jump up to where the first turret is. Am I missing something? Apart from that, the art is very cool, the music adds to the atmosphere of the story, the movement feels really nice, and I liked the clone mechanic. We had something similar in our game. I'll try play the rest if I can figure out that jump EDIT: Oh, and I'll wait until then to rate, if you're wondering why I haven't |
| Oct 6 19:16:39 | 23m 31s | TrainLoop | ♥ 2 | This is really fun to play. I thought the theme interpretation was spot on, and I like the fact that you can't pause at the start of a puzzle. I enjoy the excitement of figuring out a solution under pressure, and also getting to see the explosions makes losing less disappointing. The contrast between the ground textures and the trains is weird, but I think it gives the game a unique feel, and I don't think that's a bad thing in this case. Very cool, I passed a lot of time with it |
| Oct 6 21:06:54 | 1h 50m | Idol | ♥ 1 | This game is very enjoyable. First off, the graphics are awesome, and the music not only suits the atmosphere brilliantly, but I listened to it after playing the game, because it was so calming. This is very relaxing to play, I really like the time loop aspect of it, and I like reading all the signs and descriptions of objects (I'll have to play again to find out what the sign behind the idol said.) Righteous game, anyhow EDIT: Forgot to mention the controls, they were a bit slippery, as other people have mentioned, but I was relaxed enough while playing, that it didn't really affect me. I like the general ominous feel of the game before the end, as well |
| Oct 7 06:52:37 | 9h 45m | Time Loop | ♥ 1 | This is epic. You nailed the theme. I liked the graphics and the music and sound effects added to the atmosphere. At the very beginning, it was a little difficult to figure out what was going on, even with the pictorial explanation at the start, so maybe a short tutorial would be nice, but I did figure it out pretty quickly, so maybe I was just impatient. It was really fun to play when I got the hang of it, and some semblance of a strategy worked out, and I liked the screen with the score and time on it. Overall pretty awesome |
| Oct 7 13:53:25 | 7h 00m | Flooper | ♥ 1 | I like this game a lot, awesome sounds, decent graphics, and I like how the ball moves when hit by the bullets. It's definitely addictive and satisfying when you get the ball outside of the loops. The instructions disappear too quickly, though, and I think the time could be a bit longer, even if just whilst the player is getting used to it. Cool game overall, though |
| Oct 7 14:19:14 | 25m 49s | NightmESCHER | ♥ 1 | Really cool game. The concept is unique and fits well with the theme. The gameplay was very fun, and I liked the sense of disorientation I got from levers opening different doors, as well as the rotations of the different platforms. It was very fun to play in general, and I thought the graphics were cool. I think some music and sfx would help add to the atmosphere, and I think more variance in levels (maybe have the same basic level, but different connected doors/levers opening different doors) would be cool, because it would be less repetitive, but keep the right amount of repetition for it to still fit the theme well. EDIT: I did really enjoy the game overall, though |
| Oct 7 17:09:55 | 2h 50m | Among Stars and Robots | ♥ 2 | I liked this a lot! Firstly, the music is epic, really adds to the atmosphere, and the graphics and animation add to the smoothness of the game. Secondly, the puzzles are very fun to solve, I like the way the robot is stuck in the loop you set, good interpretation of the theme, and the speed feature was very useful. I also really liked the hub level, but I'd appreciate if the transporter things were different colours, or something, to make it easier to remember which one leads to which other level. Fun game overall. Also, if you made a post LD version for mobile, I reckon it'd do well, because the controls could be easily adapted, and it's a lot more fun than most mobile games. Just a thought. |
| Oct 7 17:20:15 | 10m 20s | Sisyphus Beetle Takes His Daughter to Work | ♥ 3 | I love this game. I like that the character's name is Sisyphus, I like all of the dad jokes, I like the fact it's set in hell, and has a lovely background, and I like the ending, and the fact that you can haggle for the price. Also, the art is cool. I think you could probably do a bit more with gameplay, maybe pushing the dung up the hill could be done through puzzles rather than the bar thing, but I appreciated the humour and art, so good game overall |
| Oct 7 17:36:19 | 16m 04s | Loopomotive | ♥ 1 | This game is righteous. I like it a lot, both the concept and the execution, and I think there are a lot of things you could do with it, were you do do a post LD version. It fits the theme well, I played for a long time before realising that I should stop and review other games, the graphics are very calm-looking, in something of a contrast to the frantic gameplay as the train speeds up (which isn't a bad thing,) and the music was nice. A couple of suggestions I'd make would be maybe some different levels, with different track layouts, maybe some levels with multiple trains going at once, and maybe some achievements for getting to a certain score. Just some ideas, anyway. Epic game overall |
| Oct 7 19:29:09 | 1h 52m | LÖÖPS | ♥ 2 | Awesome game. I had a lot of fun playing, and found the concept hilarious. It ran smoothly, everything worked perfectly, I liked the graphics a lot, and the music was nice and laid-back. I don't usually play idle games, but I really enjoyed this one. Also, although I kept both settings on, I appreciated the options to switch off the mews and the music :-) |
| Oct 7 20:12:05 | 42m 56s | WHILE (TRUE) | ♥ 1 | This game is legendary, especially for a jam game. It's so polished! The puzzles are simple but extremely fun, the graphics are very pleasing, the music and sounds add to the atmosphere of the game, and the controls are perfectly smooth. The game had a really nice flow to it, and I enjoyed playing immensely. I also like the ending. The only thing I could really suggest to change if you did a post LD version would be to have more levels that get more difficult, I guess. Awesome game, though, very fun to play |
| Oct 9 06:55:55 | 34h 43m | The Trade Secret | ♥ 1 | This is so cool! It's nice when LD games have storylines, and this one was epic. I liked the pace at which you learned about the story throughout the game, and now I want a sequel. The movement was really nice, the layout of the levels was very user friendly, and the art was really pleasing to look at. I'm not sure the four dots around the objects is very helpful, because the rooms aren't overly cluttered with stuff, and it's always clear what you're selecting. I felt it took away from the room and the objects being a room with objects rather than four cool looking buttons. I don't know if that's a real criticism, just personal preference, maybe. Also, I really liked a lot of the lines in the game, like when you select the plant and it says "plastic," or just the whole interaction with the scientist. The only problem I had with lines like that, is that there seemed to be a lot of objects, like the valve at the start, which don't get used during the game, but say things like "I have no reason to turn this valve now," and although I suppose it isn't actually a problem, I found that happening quite a bit, and I think it would have been better if it said something either describing the valve, describing the character moving the valve, or describing the character not being able to move the valve. It's just that the user controls the player, so although the character may have no valid reason to interact with the objects around them, the player does, and it's out of curiosity. That minor complaint went on for far too long here, sorry 'bout that. I loved the game anyway, even if my review focuses more on one negative aspect of it. Also, is the stone in your profile picture the stone from the game, per chance? Or do all your games involve stones, or is it just because of your username? I need answers! |
| Oct 25 10:01:35 | 387h 05m | Outside The Loop | ♥ 1 | Fun game! I found the goal of the game a bit confusing at first, and only discovered how to proceed to the next level by mistake. I liked your interpretation of the theme as well. I think it would have been nice if the levels were a bit more challenging. The colour scheme was cool, but I disliked that your walking only had sound on the grass, and that nothing else made sounds. Not a big deal, though, cool game overall :-) |
| Oct 25 10:07:36 | 6m 01s | Blood Drive | ♥ 1 | I really liked this game. I know you're aware of the problems with the controls, so I'll talk about other things. When used to the controls, this was fun to play. Graphics and sounds wise it conveyed a clear mood, which was fun. I liked the upgradable turrets as a feature, and the game was just pretty cool overall. |
| Oct 25 10:10:04 | 2m 28s | Hudson | ♥ 0 | Hey, I couldn't rate your game as it wouldn't run in my browser. I'll try in a different browser later if I have time. Sorry |
| Oct 25 10:23:39 | 13m 35s | Woofice Chair! | ♥ 3 | Cute game! The graphics are great, and the sounds effects are consistent and fit the mood well. The gameplay is simple but fun, and I don't have anything negative to say. Cool game overall |
| Oct 25 10:47:03 | 23m 24s | Smells Like Chlorine | ♥ 2 | Wow, this is awesome! It was so immersive, the graphics, vfx, and sound really added to the experience. I loved the amount of work put into the npc dialogue, and this was just really cool to play. I liked how descend deeper into madness throughout the game, and the ending is awesome. |
| Oct 25 10:52:32 | 5m 29s | Edge of Ludum Dare | ♥ 1 | I like this a lot. It's simple but fun, and I like the interpretation of the theme, as well as the beep sound. Good job! |
| Oct 26 18:58:07 | 32h 05m | Stix | ♥ 1 | This is awesome! The third level was a bit too difficult for me to continue in a reasonable amount of time (I have a few more games I need to rate,) so I can't comment on anything past that. The first level was a little tedious, as others have pointed out, but I did enjoy getting to know the locations of the sticks, as well as finding the deer. I like the aspect of hiding from the shadow guy, the tension built up by the music, and the stress of trying to get to a bush to hide. The character's walking animation looked a little more like dancing, but it didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. I'd recommend making it clearer which level you're on, maybe have a little "stage 1" at the top of the screen or something - I know that you are supposed to be stuck in a loop, but it'd be nice to know how many instances of the loop you've completed. Epic game overall, though, I enjoyed it |
| Oct 27 16:39:34 | 21h 41m | Lamps | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! I liked the interpretation of the theme, and it was very enjoyable. I didn't get to play for very long as I'm running out of time to rate the games I haven't got to yet, but I enjoyed it for the amount of time I did. Some sound effects would be nice, but otherwise, nothing I would change, and pretty cool game overall! |
| Oct 27 16:46:23 | 6m 49s | POKKO | ♥ 3 | Cool game! The graphics and movement were really well done. The puzzles were fun, and I enjoyed playing. While I did actually like the music, and it fit the theme quite well, it was too repetitive, and became annoying after a while. Good game overall, though |
| Oct 27 17:07:36 | 21m 13s | Suitcase Panic | ♥ 1 | Fun game! Quite stressful to play, but in a good sort of way. Nice interpretation of the theme, and fun to play. The game crops weirdly in the HTML5 version, just so you know, you can't see some of the passengers or their suitcase description bubbles. I think adding a feature wherein the suitcases snap to the conveyor belt if you place them near enough would be good, and some music and sound effects could do a lot to add to the stressful mood and general immersion. Awesome game overall |
| Oct 27 17:19:34 | 11m 58s | Group Chat | ♥ 1 | This was awesome! I loved the mood of this, added to by the mood, cool textures, and epic characters (seriously, those characters are really interesting.) I liked the experience of walking around the seemingly endless plane (it took almost a minute for me to run to and off the edge,) and interacting with the different characters. I think this has to be the most unique out of all the LD games I've played, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Good job! EDIT: The movement was perfect as well |
| Oct 27 17:26:40 | 7m 06s | Loop Guys | ♥ 0 | Enjoyed this a lot! The AI is really good, and it was just a fun experience overall. I fell through the floor sometimes (not through the actual holes,) when I wasn't supposed to, but awesome game otherwise, the music worked well to add to the mood |
| Oct 27 17:32:49 | 6m 09s | LaserLoop | ♥ 1 | Epic game! The puzzles were very fun and pleasing to solve, the instructions were clear, the theme was well interpreted, and the graphics and sound added to the mood nicely. Well done! |
| Oct 27 17:44:52 | 12m 03s | Dinosaur Game Level 1 | ♥ 0 | This is awesome! Good humour, and I enjoyed passing through the different... wait, the same level... over and over. The puzzles could have been a bit harder, which would have added to my enjoyment, but otherwise awesome game. The music added to the mood, and the graphics were cute. Good entry! |
| Oct 27 18:02:29 | 17m 37s | Village | ♥ 1 | Epic game! I enjoyed the MTG references :-) The movement could be improved upon, maybe it'd be nice if it were slower by default and you could sprint? I enjoyed the tasks anyway, and the game was satisfying to play in general (and a good length for somebody who procrastinated some rating until the last few hours.) Nice game overall! |
| Oct 27 18:15:35 | 13m 06s | Caught in the music loop | ♥ 0 | Cool game! I really enjoyed it, it was a very original idea, and the minimalistic graphics were nice. The only thing I would recommend changing would be that the sounds aren't bound to keys, as it's much more difficult to rush to get the mouse to hit one of them. Maybe that adds to the challenge, though. Fun anyhow |
| Oct 27 19:13:34 | 57m 59s | Get Stuck In The Loop | ♥ 1 | Great game! The graphics were really nice, and I liked the humour. It felt very smooth to play, and I loved the feeling of doing the wallruns. I don't think there's anything I can suggest to improve |
| Oct 27 19:20:57 | 7m 23s | Shiny | ♥ 1 | This is beautifully done. I think it might be nicer if you could control the directions you walked, or if it was just more interactive somehow, but the art was very nice, and the message was cute. I enjoyed playing a lot :-) |
| Oct 27 19:29:19 | 8m 22s | Lucky Lefty Loves Loops | ♥ 2 | This is awesome! Simple yet fun. Reminds me a bit of a browser game called "No Breaks," I think, but with more snails. I liked the music, and the graphics, and the theme interpretation was pretty epic too. I also appreciated the ghost of your past self. Very cool! |
| Oct 27 23:14:14 | 3h 44m | In The Loop | ♥ 1 | This is awesome! I regret not playing in time to rate, but I enjoyed it a lot. It was extremely well polished, and very satisfying to play :-) |
