| Oct 5 08:47:58 | Mobius | ♥ 1 | This really feels like an endless labyrinth, especially in the last section of the game. That was also the best part of the game in my opinion as it felt the most surreal. I easily become disoriented even in non-looping rooms, so that was quite a challenge at first. ;) The game was stuttering a lot for me as well as I first started it in Chrome but ran very smoothly in Edge, so that may be a browser issue? I had no issues in Edge other than sometimes falling through the ground and coming out on top of the room again which felt a bit glitchy but at the same time added to the surreal feeling. And one time I got stuck in a falling loop for a short time, so maybe it's a feature! | |
| Oct 5 11:31:14 | 2h 43m | Monkey See | ♥ 0 | The copycat idea is great! Personally I'd like a mode with less or no monsters at all, as the monsters are now the much bigger threat than the copycats and kill me & the copycats all of the time before many copycats can spawn. The copycats are the far more interesting enemies and what the game is all about, so in my opinion they should be the main threat. Or maybe I'm just bad at killing monsters. ;) Anyway, I'd really like to play an enhanced version of this. It's a great concept and already fun to play! |
| Oct 5 16:09:25 | 4h 38m | The exciting life of a hamster | ♥ 2 | This is the first hamster game I've played and it's setting the bar pretty high for any other hamster game to follow! I loved both music & graphics, especially the hamster itself looks great. And gameplaywise it was actually quite thrilling to get that 20 nuts as I was often tempted to jump for a nut when the cat's paw was already approaching. More exciting than your ordinary hamster's life, that's for sure! ;) Maybe the cat's attacks could be a bit more random, as it felt like the timings were more or less the same each time, but it wasn't too easy nevertheless and my hamster got scrached a few times before I got the 20 nuts. |
| Oct 5 21:23:12 | 5h 13m | Looper - The Last Mission | ♥ 4 | Really addictive gameplay and great visuals, just seriously impressing! That's definitely a game I'll play again from time to time. To provide some hopefully constructive feedback: The one thing I missed was some sort of death animation. You're thrown out of the game very suddenly in case of a hit, sometimes without knowing what it was exactly that hit you. And the short introduction sequence with dialogs at the start of each attempt got a bit annoying as I just wanted to get back to the gameplay and try to beat the score. But in the context of the Ludum dare event that's just nitpicking of course, congratulations on getting this done in 48 hours! |
| Oct 5 21:48:28 | 25m 16s | Nugget | ♥ 4 | I love the theme and gameplay idea of this game, and it looks (and sounds) fantastic. It's also quite hard (or I'm just bad at it) and I didn't manage to free the poor egg-bird yet. But I guess it's pretty hard for real life eggs & birds to escape a slaughterhouse as well, so unfortunately that's only realistic! @funemaker I had the same issue in Chrome but it worked in Edge. |
| Oct 6 00:01:57 | 2h 13m | while(true) | ♥ 1 | I'm a big fan of the board game "RoboRally" so I just had to play this game which actually feels a bit like a (much less relaxed :D) realtime version of it. It could have been a bit more challenging with some dangerous elements, other robots etc. getting in your way, but on the other hand it might be hard to add those elements without making the game frustrating. The visuals and general aesthetics are really great, and I also liked the music (although I can imagine that it might get a bit repetitive if you play to level 101 :D). |
| Oct 6 20:15:51 | 20h 13m | TimeSlider - A Dopterra Story | ♥ 3 | A very fun puzzle game, especially when the time reset mechanics come in. It's amazing how you can make pushing crates interesting again. :D It's also not too easy and it really took me some time to solve three of the rooms. The Slide level was actually the hardest for me to solve, so I already feared it might get really insane with the added time reset mechanics, but most of the levels hit the sweet spot and felt like a challenge without being frustrating. Only the penultimate level was maybe a bit too easy for being the last puzzle, and I'm not sure if I solved it in a way that shouldn't be possible as most puzzles before were much harder. There were no obvious bugs though (I played the patched version) and it felt like a very polished and complete little game in every aspect! It's also a great example of how good dialogue can contribute even to a gameplay focused game like this. Most of it is basically a tutorial, but it's written so well and funny that I always wanted to get to the next room to read more of it. |
| Oct 6 20:47:43 | 31m 52s | Hang on, Bill! | ♥ 2 | This one is a clear 5/5 in the theme category! :D And not just in that category, it's really well done and very fun to solve. |
| Oct 7 23:02:50 | 26h 15m | DisasterWheel | ♥ 0 | I always wanted to know what it's like to be a christmas ball stuck in a ferris wheel during a meteorite shower, and now I finally know. The game also taught me an important lesson for life when I got my highest score of 103 seconds by just doing nothing: Always keep calm in case of a sudden disaster! Visuals and music were really good and it's a funny interpretation of the theme. As others already said, the movement physics and predictability of the meteorite attacks could be improved, and some explosive sound effects for the impacts would have been nice. |
| Oct 7 23:20:05 | 17m 15s | Vacuum Cleaner Simulator | ♥ 1 | I always wanted to get a vacuum cleaner robot, but my rooms are just too crammed for one to work properly, so I'm thankful for the opportunity to at least simulate a vacuum cleaner. Didn't expect I would be able to wreak havoc like a real one, though! I laughed out loud at the ending, didn't see this coming at all. :D Very funny and well made, I really enjoyed this. |
| Oct 10 23:09:18 | 71h 49m | Grinding Gears | ♥ 1 | Especially the last puzzle was fun to solve and well done. I agree that the mini map is very important in this game. I kinda like the main camera perspective as it reminds me a bit of games like Little Big Adventure, Grim Fandango etc., but without the mini map I probably would have never solved it. |
| Oct 12 18:52:36 | 43h 43m | Broodmother | ♥ 2 | This has great visuals and a unique style, it's one of the games I wanted to play immediately after taking a look at the screenshots. The animations are well done, too, especially the smooth birthing animation. At first I had a hard time figuring out how to kill anything, but as soon as I got the first chunks of meat it became fun to fight the spawners. The second level with lots of laser eyes and exploding enemies was really hard, though, and I kept dying a lot, so a less steep difficulty curve would be great. |
| Oct 12 19:20:53 | 28m 17s | Pyramid Loop | ♥ 1 | A fun game with lots of potential for more difficult levels. It has a kind of elegant simplicity that's really appealing. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was that you have to match the arrow buttons exactly with the target box to lock it in, but that's probably an easy to solve problem. |
| Oct 14 11:22:20 | 40h 01m | Dude Ranch | ♥ 3 | I was already sold on this after "Welcome to Dude Ranch!" :D Needed a few seconds to figure out the controls, but after that it was just a lot of fun. I have no idea how on earth it's possible to score a highscore of more than 4000$ though, I don't even get half of that! I guess catching dudes isn't what I should do for a living. |
| Oct 14 17:59:14 | 6h 36m | Woofice Chair! | ♥ 3 | The art and general feel of this game is just incredible, can't believe this has been done in 72 hours! Gameplay is fun as well, though I feel the controls are not perfect yet. After reading the comments some things are clearer, but while playing for the first time I didn't understand what I had to do to make the weapon appear and how often I was supposed to press the space bar. There also seems to be a bug as sometimes pressing space doesn't do anything and the chair just stops (and I die a few seconds later). I hope the controls are improved in a future version because in every other aspect the game is really great and certainly among the best I've played so far! |
| Oct 17 10:46:15 | 64h 47m | Roller Riches | ♥ 1 | Definitely the most addictive LD game I played so far! I love the rollercoaster banks. :D Personally I'd prefer the numbers to be shown without exponents (like they appear in the screenshots), as getting longer numbers feels more rewarding to me in games of this type. Or maybe make it an option. Anyway, I had lots of fun with this! |
| Oct 21 15:19:47 | 100h 33m | Crazy Scientist: Lost in Dimensions | ♥ 1 | Well that was fun! It has lots of content (including boss fights!), great music and (best of all) cow kidnapping aliens. :D The controls felt a bit clunky in the levels where you're jumping a lot between platforms (especially near the end with the disappearing platforms) and the death sound effect was too loud, but that were the only things that bugged me a bit. Really enjoyed this! |
| Oct 21 15:34:59 | 15m 12s | The Last Henchman | ♥ 1 | A clear 5/5 in the sadly non-existing intro category! :D The game itself is fun too, but I'm just too bad at it to get to the second level. Maybe a health bar instead of instakill would be a good idea (at least for me). |
| Oct 24 11:06:26 | 67h 31m | Dr. Needles and the Nightclub | ♥ 1 | The intro and general presentation of this is great, so I quite enjoyed it although it was more or less just running around without a clue. :D As others have already said, it would be more interesting if people would talk to you and send you to a specific direction etc. Feels like a solid foundation that just needs some more gameplay. |
