| Apr 26 18:08:28 | Dungeon Diver | ♥ 1 | Cool graphics and a neat central mechanic, this would be great as a tablet/touchscreen game with swipe controls. I found it really hard, though, so couldn't really see much of the level, I couldn't get much further past the area shown in the .gif graphic. This is crying out for some bleepy bloopy chiptune music. :) | |
| Apr 26 18:21:52 | 13m 24s | Trposhi | ♥ 3 | I like ambience of the game, the sounds of the dwarves working, the rumble as you dug deeper, all very evocative. There's some nice gameplay ideas, balancing out work and rest for the team of dwarves was quite fun. The start of the game was very slow, but it did pick up later and get more challenging. I think some more pop-ups and animations on the different menus/tooltips would really help make it clearer for new players. Great job. :) |
| Apr 26 18:32:42 | 10m 50s | Nuclear blaze | ♥ 2 | The graphics in this are absolutely outstanding. The gameplay is a lot of fun too, I liked the simplified platforming controls and firing the hose was a lot of fun. It'd be great to see it fleshed out into a full game. It desperately needs some sound, though, the animation, particularly the explosions have so much weight to them, it's crying out for some thuds, whooshes and the like. Awesome game. :) |
| Apr 27 09:53:30 | 15h 20m | Templooter | ♥ 3 | I like the pixelart graphics, they give the game a lot of personality. I can see how the game could get more frantic as more enemies start to appear, but the start of the game is very slow paced. The opening screen which explained the controls was a nice touch too. :) |
| Apr 27 20:34:00 | 10h 40m | The Life Aquatic | ♥ 1 | Cool game. It's really fun getting the hang of how the submarine handles and learning the map. I love the pixelart-style graphics, all the different fish look so cool, especially the shark B¬) It'd be cool to have maybe a silhouette of each fish you need to find, when I had about 5 or 6 I kept forgetting which I'd already found. I love the peaceful music too. |
| Apr 27 20:52:21 | 18m 21s | Jewellery Journey | ♥ 1 | Cool game, I found it pretty hard though (precision platformers are not my speciality :) ) I really liked the style of the graphics, seeing some different colours from the Pico-8 palette than you normally see. The blood effects when you hit a spike are really over the top, I love it! Some cool level design too, the underwater currents reminded me of the water sections in Super Metroid. |
| Apr 27 21:17:31 | 25m 10s | Buried Deep | ♥ 1 | I don't think I've played a Tic-80 game before, it's got a really cool retro look to it. The black backgrounds with the shading on the other tiles make it stand out, looks stylish. I like the tileset you've created here, the dungeon section especially looks really nice. I liked all the different elements you managed to get into the game, like the waterfalls, springs, water sections, spikes etc. that must have been a lot of work to get set up in time for the Compo! Respect! :) |
| Apr 27 21:26:53 | 9m 22s | Hammer Dive | ♥ 1 | Haha fun little game. I think some more feedback or some sort of effect when you hit the hammer, to make it pop out more would be good. But still, very cool. :) |
| Apr 27 21:41:11 | 14m 18s | Adventurer of the deep | ♥ 1 | I really appreciated all the character designs you put into the game, that clearly took a lot of effort, you don't often see graphics like that in jam games. The upgrade system was really cool, and I liked exploring the map. It was good having a few different activities to do too, some good world-building :) |
| Apr 28 19:56:15 | 22h 15m | Riches Below! | ♥ 1 | We need a game link! :( |
| Apr 28 20:05:58 | 9m 43s | CHROMAHOLIC | ♥ 1 | Really cool art style and sound design in this, it's got a fantastic mood to it, but I really struggled to understand what I was supposed to be doing. I tried running a few different routes but didn't seem to be getting anywhere. I can see how some more hints or hand-holding for the player would spoil the minimalist aesthetic you were going for, but it's kind of frustrating to play at the moment when you don't understand what you're supposed to do. :) |
| Apr 28 20:33:41 | 27m 43s | Ant Town | ♥ 2 | It's cool to see a city builder in Ludum Dare and I respect the fact you made it run in the browser, so convenient! It's interesting building up a city but I wish the game wasn't so linear, it always feels like there's exactly one thing you need to do next to advance. Also, I love the music in the game, so peaceful! :) |
| Apr 28 20:43:39 | 9m 58s | Match! Drop! Match! | ♥ 2 | Lovely falling block puzzle game! It took me a while to get my head around the main mechanic for matching up starting and ending colours, but once I did the game turned out to be really fun. It'd be much nicer for the game to be extended each time you score a certain number of points or something rather than just being on a strict two minute timer, but I can understand why you might set it that way for the jam. Either way, great game, I'd love to see this polished up for a post-jam release. I also massively appreciate the fact you made it playable in the browser, it's such a helpful step for when you want to quickly get into playing a game. Great music too! :) |
| Apr 28 20:53:13 | 9m 34s | Puzzled Fish | ♥ 1 | It'd be cool to have this expanded into a bigger game. I love the graphics in the game and the movement of the fish feels nicer too. I'm surprised you didn't have some simpler puzzles at the start of the game, the first room is a bit confusing when you're just starting with the game. It's also crying out for some sound effects but I understand if there wasn't enough time to include that. Anyway, nice game! :) |
| Apr 28 21:00:46 | 7m 33s | A Cat in the Aliens' Lair | ♥ 1 | Lovely graphics in this game. I'm on board for pretty much any game that lets you play as a cat. There's a really steep learning curve with this game, I think it would be nice to maybe have some less attentive aliens at the start until you learn the ropes. Also, pretty brutal that the aliens can see you from any distance. Still, stylish graphics, cool stealth mechanics and some moody glitchy music. Love it :) |
| Apr 28 21:06:28 | 5m 42s | Deep Sea Explorer | ♥ 1 | Big respect for making a card game for the Compo, that can't have been easy! The combination of the font and black text on dark blue background you used for the Condition, Damage display made it pretty hard to read (minor gripe!) I liked the element of testing the courage of the player, whether to go deeper or surface to collect your money. Great effort. :) |
| Apr 28 21:39:35 | 33m 07s | Pheromones | ♥ 1 | Getting a 404 page on the Itch link :( |
| Apr 29 17:55:33 | 20h 15m | Dante's Harvest | ♥ 2 | Really cool game. I love the graphics and animation, gives the game a lot of personality. The Dante's Inferno theme was spot on too, really nice to see it recreated in a game. I didn't understand where you were able to place the Warden towers, does it need to be a certain distance from the Wain? Some highlighting of permitted areas would be good I think. Anyway, awesome submission, great job! |
| Apr 29 18:03:04 | 7m 31s | THE COOKIE IS A LIE | ♥ 1 | The phrase 'Text-based adventure' filled me with dread, but I was pleasantly surprised with this, it rocks. Usually these games end up with me stuck in a dead end trying to find a way out, so it was great that the story in this marched ever onwards. It's great seeing the results of other players games and wondering how they ended up in those situations, great work. The music you've added is a nice touch, it's a shame it can't be rated. |
| Apr 29 18:12:41 | 9m 37s | Untitled Space Game | ♥ 1 | I loved exploring all the areas, the descriptions of the planets were really intriguing, I wanted to explore each one. You really must flesh this out into a post-jam version, I'd love to see all the ideas you were going to put into the game! It's great seeing some Pico-8 entries in LD! Cool game! |
| May 1 12:56:20 | 42h 43m | The bomble mines | ♥ 0 | The last few screens are a real challenge but I appreciate short, fun jam games like this. The graphics are cool and stylish. I wish there were some more sounds in the game. Cool game :) |
| May 1 13:17:55 | 21m 35s | Deep Blue | ♥ 1 | Very stylish. There was some odd collision with the enemies and the way the diver's torch totally changed direction and when just tapping the movement keys was a bit annoying. Minor negatives out of the way, I really enjoyed the murky look of the game. The shadows, dark environments and especially the music really set the mood well. The character design was really cool too, those are some pretty scary sea creatures. :) |
| May 5 21:49:55 | 104h 32m | Ocean Explorer | ♥ 1 | The graphics in this are so stylish, the game looks like an old Nickelodeon cartoon, it's great. The music was cool as well. I feel like it needs a scoring system or some sort of goal to aim for. If the game was less fast-paced, it might feel more like a chilled out exploration style game, but at the moment it feels very arcadey so it's kind of missing a clear goal. Great work :) |
| May 5 22:01:12 | 11m 17s | Dangerous Depths | ♥ 1 | Nice graphics and animation in this. Very simple game mechanics, it'd be nice if there was more variety in the speed which you descend or if there was more inertia to the submarine as it moved. It fits the theme very nicely. Also, I really appreciate you making the game run in-browser, big convenience points. Cool game :) |
| May 5 22:15:08 | 13m 56s | Digtet | ♥ 1 | This is a really interesting spin on Tetris, respect for coming up with something different in such a saturated area. The graphics are very simple and effective, I liked the subtle neon glow. The fonts are cool too, reminded me of old vector arcade games. Minor criticism, the bloop sound effect when placing blocks was a bit annoying after a while. Really cool game. :) |
| May 6 12:57:37 | 14h 42m | Ocelot Safari | ♥ 1 | Cool Pico-8 game! It's fun figuring out the movement in this game, the way that tools sort of trail behind you as you move make it feel like a puzzle game. I love the tileset you created, nice use of Pico-8's extended palette to give the game its own unique look. Kudos. :) |
| May 16 15:32:14 | 242h 34m | Bubbly | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the presentation of this game, it reminded me a lot of Hollow Knight or something Tim Burton would make, very cool. There's some solid platforming in this as well, the movement of the character was nice and smooth and I also liked the feel of the attack balls. Add to that procedurally generated levels and a leaderboard and you have a really cool game. Awesome work. :) |
