| Oct 17 12:22:59 | This Party Sucks | ♥ 1 | Excellent work! This feels very finished. You managed to find a good fit fort the theme. The graphics and sound effects are great, and the music is an excellent choice. Understanding the movement takes a bit of practice, but once you get used to it it makes perfect sense. Well done! | |
| Oct 17 12:43:26 | 20m 27s | Energy Loop | ♥ 1 | Well done! Those last few levels did need some thinking and more than one attempt to get right! I was afraid that the timing would make it impossible, but it didn't, after a while moving at the right moment mostly came natural and it was really just a matter of figuring out what exactly to do. The sound is simple but very effective, it gives a sense of urgency. |
| Oct 17 12:56:29 | 13m 03s | Cursorial | ♥ 0 | A very coherent experience! The music, graphics, and text go well together. I enjoyed it. One note though: the linux build seems broken, it looks like part of a unity build, not all of it. I used the windows version with wine, which worked fine. |
| Oct 17 13:10:03 | 13m 34s | Loop Land | ♥ 0 | The graphics and audio are great, and it fits the theme really well. I just couldn't get used to the physics though, and a lot of the time when you miss a jump it's a fairly long walk back to have another go, so I didn't manage to get very far. Not all your fault though, I'm never good at platformers anyway! |
| Oct 17 13:57:37 | 47m 34s | Anomaly 47 | ♥ 1 | I got out! Very nicely done. The art looks great, the music is exactly right, and the story works, although we never really find out what's going on (but getting out alive should be enough for anyone!) One thing that could be better is handling of collisions. I kept getting stuck against things, and this made me think a room couldn't be explored while it could several times. |
| Oct 17 14:44:29 | 46m 52s | Seasoned Herder | ♥ 1 | The music following the seasons is brilliant! I'm not really in the target age bracket anymore these days, so gameplay isn't ideal for me, but I suspect it works well for the intended audience. Maybe as you and other people mentioned in earlier comments there could be more gameplay elements, but the game feels finished, which is an achievement in ludum dare :) |
| Oct 17 15:05:52 | 21m 23s | Arcane Forest | ♥ 1 | Nicely done! The graphics are nice, the music is fitting, the pumpkins are sufficiently self-aware. I did get out, but I wrote my moves down :) |
| Oct 17 15:21:19 | 15m 27s | Gorilla Power | ♥ 1 | Another good game! I like the sound and graphics, with fitting music. The power generating mechanics aren't bad, but they get a bit tedious after a while without adding much. At first something felt odd about jumping (maybe the animation is too sudden?), but I got used to oit quite quickly and managed to find my way to the end. Thanks for the checkpoints! |
| Oct 17 15:36:03 | 14m 44s | Last Trip of the Monorail! | ♥ 1 | Nice game! Graphics and sound work well, the puzzles aren't impossible, and I managed to survive, what more can anyone wish for? :) If I'm allowed some minor nitpicks, when you have an item selected that you *can* actually use on something, you still get the 🚫 sign which is a bit confusing, and maybe the "speed lines" are a bit too flickery. Nothing important though. !> I want to know where I can buy rope that strong though! ;) |
| Oct 17 15:46:31 | 10m 28s | The Trade Secret | ♥ 1 | A nice game! It could of course use more story, but what there is is good. The controls were a bit annoying. I'd say accept space and enter for both interacting and dismissing the dialog, and maybe also accept arrow keys for moving? |
| Oct 17 16:00:41 | 14m 10s | Eleven | ♥ 2 | The start looks nice, and the ticking clock works great, but I just couldn't figure it out :( Looking forward to see a playthrough by someone more competent later! |
| Oct 17 16:06:10 | 5m 29s | Giraffe Roller | ♥ 1 | Another commanderstitch game! Tradition says that every LD I have to try these and utterly fail at them :) |
| Oct 17 16:14:30 | 8m 20s | Plane Loop | ♥ 0 | Congratulations on finishing your first compo! This is a nice idea that could be expanded to a great little game :) |
| Oct 18 12:08:05 | 19h 53m | Populatio | ♥ 0 | A very nice concept! My best time is 495.7 :) This could be a very good casual game. What's missing is really just polish. The "level complete" text is a bit in the way on the next level, there could be an indication which level you're on, ... Sound would be nice, but I'm not one to talk as I also don't have sound in my game :) I noticed that you didn't opt out of the audio category though, is that an oversight? |
| Oct 18 12:21:52 | 13m 47s | Break In Stay In | ♥ 1 | Not bad at all! Some nice twists with the changing rooms. I'm not sure the black rooms work well as they are. I see what you want to do, but some indication of what's going on might be good. Maybe show the player position, or have some visual effect at the spots where you hit something, or something else that makes it clear that this isn't a loading screen. The other nitpick is about starting the game: the entire game is controlled with the keyboard, but you have to click a button to start. I'd just allow any key to start, or maybe just space. |
| Oct 18 12:41:00 | 19m 08s | Chrono Drift | ♥ 1 | Well done! I'll need another few attempts to actually properly understand the movement, but that's really what the game is about, I think :) Graphics and audio work well |
| Oct 18 12:47:55 | 6m 55s | Turret Bug | ♥ 2 | A nice idea, but gameplay for me consisted just of clicking fast enough without doing anything else. Graphics and sound are good though. |
| Oct 18 13:01:49 | 13m 54s | Lonely Blob | ♥ 1 | Very nice! I like squirrels too :) The minimalist graphics are excellent, and I like the music. The mechanics are introduced in a nice progressive way, which is great! The levels were all fairly easy, just a matter of exploring. Maybe some more tricky puzzles would be nice. |
| Oct 18 13:31:08 | 29m 19s | Loopy's run | ♥ 1 | Wow! Well done! The sound makes this feel very immersive, and controls and physics feel just right. The fairly minimalist graphics fit the game well. The mechanic of getting more score when you're hurt means it's hard to get a high score, but easy to just play, which makes the game playable for everyone. |
| Oct 18 13:47:03 | 15m 55s | Treasure Hunt | ♥ 1 | A good puzzle game. It would be nice to have more levels, but that's the fate of all puzzle games in ludum dare, really. If you would decide to continue working on this, I'd say the main things that are needed are of course more levels, and maybe better editing of the move sequence. Maybe allow quick entering the moves using the arrow keys, and keep the previous sequence when restarting. |
| Oct 18 13:56:33 | 9m 30s | Race Condition | ♥ 1 | Great fun! If only the "other" drivers on the track weren't driving like idiots :) The controls respond in just the right way, the music kept me motivated, and the graphics are decent. This is a good game, well done! |
| Oct 18 14:05:36 | 9m 03s | Lazy River Racing | ♥ 1 | Great shader! :) Nice idea for a game, looks like you ran out of time before you got to the actual mechanics. The music is nice, the graphics are decent, the water current is, well, not really there... Still, you participated, which does count! |
| Oct 18 17:24:32 | 3h 18m | UFO taxi! | ♥ 1 | A clever idea, well executed. I would have liked more levels, but that's what you get with jam games... :) |
| Oct 18 17:39:07 | 14m 35s | OROBOROS | ♥ 0 | Nice game! The intro was a good idea, although I'm not sure I'd have gone with a typewriter style :) I would have preferred seeing the entire puzzle at once. Having to remember the other area while thinking makes the game harder in a way that I think doesn't necessarily make it better. Sorry for nitpicking, I liked it overall :) |
| Oct 18 17:51:36 | 12m 29s | Chicxulub | ♥ 1 | "Interesting" premise :) I managed to get through it all (wiping out 57% of the dinosaurs), which is unusual for me in this sort of game! Nice music and graphics, and overall a very compelling game. |
| Oct 21 21:32:01 | 75h 40m | Groundhog Pepper | ♥ 0 | I managed to do it all! :) Not bad! |
| Oct 21 21:49:52 | 17m 51s | BOTLOOP | ♥ 1 | Very nice! I got stuck at the bonus stages, but this is a lot of fun. The music is very engaging, the graphics are decent, and the levels are well designed. |
| Oct 21 22:06:53 | 17m 01s | Cricetus Apparatus | ♥ 1 | Poor hamsters! Graphics are well done, a decent game. |
| Oct 21 22:24:19 | 17m 26s | EXIT CODE 0 | ♥ 1 | An excellent game. The music is nice, the graphics are fitting, and I likethe levels, even though I didn't manage to finish them all |
| Oct 22 16:18:17 | 17h 53m | Candy Collector | ♥ 1 | Nice graphics! The music sounds appropriate, the theme is spot on... Wait, the theme wasn't halloween? :) For me, the controls were a little too sensitive, but presumably witches brooms aren't easy to control in real life either, so that might be accurate. |
| Oct 22 16:23:55 | 5m 38s | Knock, knock... Boooooo | ♥ 1 | Nice tune :) Not sure if this counts as a game, but I don't regret trying it :) I would have liked being able to pick a green block a bit earlier before they all settled down, but that's not a big issue, really |
| Oct 22 16:33:27 | 9m 32s | Karmic Circle | ♥ 0 | A very nice concept! You could build a great puzzle game with this idea, you just need a bit more meaningful choice every now and then. By the way, this didn't work at all in firefox for me (just a white screen), so I had to break out my emergency chromium install for it. |
| Oct 22 16:39:44 | 6m 17s | 33 loop | ♥ 1 | An experience, exactly as described :) The speeding up and slowing down effects are well done! Of course after staring at it for a while one starts noticing little missing details like the tonearm not moving up and down with the warps of the record, and not moving towards the middle. I guess it's not a *real* turntable after all :) |
| Oct 22 16:57:47 | 18m 03s | The Lord of Time | ♥ 1 | Well done! I didn't manage to complete it all, but I like the bits I saw. The ticking clock sound is very effective, I like the graphics, and the storytelling is very nice. |
| Oct 25 17:08:43 | 72h 10m | Sir Fishbottom and Also Head's TIME MOB | ♥ 1 | A very nice game. This feels properly finished. The music is well-chosen, and the graphics look nice. One day I'll be good at this :) |
| Oct 27 11:44:48 | 42h 36m | Flip-flop | ♥ 1 | Nice! This is one of those games where you need a bit of time to get your head around it, but once you do it's a lot of fun. There is the usual problem with puzzle games in LD of course, not enough levels, but that's to be expected. Well done! |
